“I was heartbroken by what I saw and heard, particularly regarding the collapse of the country’s ability to feed and medically care for its people and children.”

Well then why are you trying to bring such a collapse to this country, Dick?

DICK! Please do the most positive thing you can. Offer to exchange yourself for the hostage. Then just stay there. That way everybody is better off.

It takes a special kind of stupid to run a country into the ground to the point that people are starving...When you have the largest proven oil reserves of any country in the world (it’s really crappy oil, but c’mon).

He had to check with his Daddy to make sure he was following the same rule book for the Americans.

Same thing that pinko politicians always do.

Suck up to commies, eat like a king, enjoy some of the local sexual "talent", then come back and bitch about the USA.

Oh, and tell Americans how much $$$ we must pony up to help these people.
