My suspicious mind won't let me think it is coming out of the Middle East, if you get my drift. If the Saudis aren't being threatened, why would they support this?

Little midgets keep running around my brain screaming things like cutting free of OPEC, Keystone XL approval, 2014-2016 campaigns/elections, 1%, wind/solar, Benghazi, Hillary, Cheney, military industrial complex and, biggest of all, Obama impeachment.

I can't seem to wipe those things out of my mind.

Maybe I need psychiatric help?

it wouldn't surprise me in the least if the Koch's were. They've proven that they'll do anything to bollux things for Obama.

hail from the Persian Gulf area.

I am not saying that they receive anything directly from any government, just individuals.

find them, we didn't kill them (except for the few at the top) and now they and their children are back. Biggest mistakes of all were 1. going in to invade in the first place, 2. not negotiating with Saddam when he asked to. 3. not negotiating with the Iraqi military and Bath leadership controlling the government.

Stupid is as stupid does. And revenge is a bitch!!

Couldn't be that hard to find out, I don't think the weapons they have can be easily obtained, unless you're a right wing gun nut.

Trace the money!
