Our homosexualist military brass is planning to bomb a country that is no threat to the American people in order to install Christian slaughtering Al Qaeda terrorists as the new rulers.

Shouldn't they be arrested for aiding and abetting known terrorists. If they were regular American citizens they would be disappeared under the NDAA.

dempsey is a perfumed prince and, like way too many flag officers, only cares about his ass. we don't have the troops, we don't have the money, both sides hate us and the christians don't trust us and the russians are on the other side. what could possibly go wrong.
i loathe this regieme with all the fury of a billion white hot burning suns.
