Whoa! I never saw THAT coming!

Heh, heh ... just kidding.

http://freebeacon.com/national-security/state-dept-warns-iran-seeking-capture-u-s-citizens/

The State Department has issued an alert that Iran is looking to capture Americans. Given that we just paid Iran $400 million in [not] ransom to release some Americans, whoever would have foreseen that the screaming beards would just view that as a precedent, and an invitation for more of same?

*^%#()^%% Obama -- there's a reason why you don't negotiate with kidnappers and terrorists.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Curse your sudden but inevitable posting of the exact link I was going for...  Spot on though.

There is no fixing stupid. But, you can line it up in front of a wall and offer it a last smoke.

There is no such thing as a "transgender" person.  Only mental illness that should be discouraged.

Now, now.....I believe giving Iran a few billion dollars in goods and services would be an excellent first step in establishing good intentions.....

.....what's the current market value on fifteen nuclear-tipped Tomahawk cruise missiles, complete with launch?

That is how I wanted the money delivered also but well it would have cost us less to do it when the shaw got overthrown.

I wonder if the king was owed any money back in 1776? Do you think we could collect with interest?
