You got to be kidding me.
Unbelievable! They’ll urinate on the graves of 9/11 victims and hail a terrorist! Incredible the audacity.
He was a Khomeinist and stooge of the mullahcrats in Iran.
pong
Priorities, you know.
Unfortunately it’s become very believable. When will the people wake up?
al-Hakim was an ally of the US the whole time we have been in Iraq. al-Hakim was a rival and ennemmy of al-Sadr. He was orginally favored with Iran, then fell out of Irans favor when the IRANIANS started sending substational support for al-Sadr and the Mahdi army.
al-Hakim was an ally of the United States of America in Iraq. His organization was a rival to the Mahdi army. President Bush met with al-Hakim numerous times in the United States ...
People, were are in a dangerous situation! Our great nation is in the hands of evil! THEY WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO DESTROY US. Get right with your maker and get ready for a revolution....it’s coming. Let Freedom ring!
I thought it was about a football player
BINGO, SFF!! It took the WH, what, a week! before they put out some namby-pamby rote condolence thing about the two soldiers, one killed, one injured, but of course mere HOURS to send out the OUTRAGED statement about Killer Tiller’s death—priorities, is right. And HolyO’s are all WRONG for the future of America as we knew it as children!
With one disgrace after another, I’ve become a bit jaded and desensitized concerning Millstone’s outrageous behavior.
His typical MO never changes, does it?
I can’t believe this thing is in our White House.
Sometime I wonder if anyone checks facts before they go off half cocked. al-Hakim was on our side from day one! He hated Mookie with a passion. His supporters fought Mookie’s terrorist army side by side with our troops. Some of you need to check your tin foil hats at the door!!
Well, those soilders were just serfs. This guy was part of the ruling class.
Why does the White House issue a statement on the death of Abdul Aziz al-Hakim but not Neda Soltan? (rhetorical question)
It’s not the fact that Hakim was an ally. It’s the fact of the SPEED with which the WH issued a response to the death of a FOREIGN OFFICIAL, while the death of an AMERICAN soldier and injury to another received a rote sentence DAYS after the first attack on American soil by Muslims since 9/11!!! >:-(
We need to pick our battles. The bottom line is, al-Hakim was an ally and this quick statement was prudent and proper.
His silence on the murder of William Long was neither. It was an utter disgrace. But that doesn’t make this statement wrong.
