Sounds exactly like what Obama told the Egyptian ambassador in January of 2010, after one year as a foreign enemy combatant in our White House - that he was and still is a Muslim who supports the Muslim agenda and that the Muslim world needed to be patient with him because once he got Obamacare passed he would go to work on the Muslim agenda.

If you feed and bandange a military force, you are helping them as much as if you gave them rifles. Obastard.
