I think they run the open air slave markets.

Thank the first Negro POTUS for that.

Libyan authorities gave the convicted bomber a hero’s welcome when he was released because “cough cough” he was sick.

For some reason I called to mind this morning the Anthrax and Ricin mailings that followed the 9/11 attacks, and how those investigations are probably still unfolding. Criminal investigations don’t happen like TV. Come to think of it, TV has done great harm to our ability to think, just like mediocre public education.

How’s that for an off-topic twist?

I knew people who died in 9/11, and I still have it etched in my mind. Anti-American jerks like you don’t amuse me.

I thought I saw something years ago that the IRA may be implicated as well.

When I lived in the UK, there was an anniversary TV doc I saw. I remember the young girls found still strapped in their seats...hugging each other....with fingers crossed....according to a local farmer.

I will never forget that.

Does he have a health problem? If so, you have to let him go, like they did Abdelbaset al-Megrahi in 2009.

Wheels of injustice... focusing on Libya is intended to cover up Iran’s involvement ...because the lefties want to restore the Iran Deal.
