Lots of words. What are your sources? Do you make this up or get it from other places?

Really?

“President Trump also tweeted extensively today and into the night with many of his tweets regarding the Steele Dossier. “

Do you have an objective measure for that?

I thought I read that Trump cut major funding to to Palestinians, not Pakistan.

You said there was a large funding cut to Pakistan.

Could you please check your source on this and let us know.

“large funding cut to Pakistan”

I read on the Jerusalem Post headline news that Sec. Mattis declined to authorize a $300M aid payment to Pakistan because they are providing refuge to bad guys instead of fighting them.

Innovative, “Mattis decides to withhold U.S. cash from Key Pakistani military fund,” by Thomas Gibbons-Neff and Dan Lamothe, July 21, 2017, The Washington Post. It’s the latest I’m seeing as well concerning Pakistan. Confuses me, as well, because I do recall the recent statement about withholding the Palestinian Funds.

Every one of these stories has been reported elsewhere as true.

If you don’t like a regular thread, don’t click on it.

What does “led by Saudi Arabia” mean? Were they in charge of the mission? Were they Saudi pilots? Interesting....

I find the idea of Saudi pilots scary idea....
