  • So hows "Dear Leader's" foreign policy experience working out for all those Americans working overseas? Not so well I'd have to say.

  • A friend if mine asked a great question??? When are they going to arrest the guy who released the anti-Muslim video that caused this spontaneous hostage taking?

    • About the same time the Sandy Hook school nurse, the 30 Benghazi survivors, and the Aurora movie theater audience reappear. People vanish these days. Or they never were.

    Lay it on the line with all the governments over there -- someone of you KNOWS what's going on and who is behind it all. Work it out amongst yourselves, FAST, because the next time an American gets killed by al quaeda or some other terror group, 10 kilotons go off over Tehran. Second time, Tripoli. Third time, Mecca. Fourth time -- we get really nasty.

      • Someone should put up a bill board outside the State Department with a pic of Muammar Gaddai or Hosni Mubarak - "Miss me yet?".
