Good. Then any defensive weapons our troops in the Middle East need can be bought with that slush fund.

So different from Lyin' Donny Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense when Billy was shilling for the even bloodier and less justified war of choice on Iraq, who trivialized the deaths of brave troops because Rummy failed to provide them with defenses against IED's.

And yet every day on America's liberal elite college campuses, conservatives are shunned and shamed for expressing views like this.

I can't imagine the US Navy will sacrifice even one ship on a suicide run through a narrow strait within easy reach of Iraqi drones, short-range missiles, and armed motorboats.

Not surprising take from Hanania, the sage who sympathizes with the guy who invaded Russia in 1941

Iโ€™m old enough to remember when Lindsey Graham was simply an asshole.

You know you're winning when you tell your diplomats and their families to run for their lives from what was once considered the safe capital of a key ally

Why is Lindsey Graham so excited about blowing the hell out of a lot of people?

And yet at America's elite liberal universities, conservatives are shunned and shamed just for joining a book club like this.

Looking forward to reading this important article, especially the part about the owner of the @wsj.com helped this illegal program of political persecution by ordering his sock puppets to foment hysteria with lies 24/7 on Fox โ€œNews.โ€

Passing off 50 year old warmonger smears as legitimate concerns should give rise to concern about whether Tapper is too old, doddering, and incompetent to do his job, too.

And you'll note the "correction" never says what was different in the video and never shows the actual footage of President Trump wearing his stupid baseball cap.

Truly embarrassing they expect tax payers to foot the bill. I thought you were so successful? You canโ€™t afford the event? Guess you canโ€™t have it then.
