Just kidding. That will be a valid point forever. Sadly.image

About those unarmed Marines, why were they asked to do that in such a dangerous, volatile nation? Will we ever learn the answer? I think certain factions in congress may be blocking that from the reports to protect somebody. I also doubt it will work. Their best protection is to come clean.

BTW, about Putin? Don't nominate him for sainthood yet. He is an old spymaster. And he has made Obama, not to mention the entire state department, look like total idiots how many times? First time this has happened to such an extent in our history. Putin is wise enough to stick to the letter of the law, thanks to Obama giving him the chance to learn how effective the ploy is. Bummer. This had been one of our primary tricks for forever.

Hi Tim

I actually liked Putin .... then he did some things that raised my eyebrows and I changed course on him.... but over Snowden he did the right thing when no other country would.  Strange how things pan out isn't it.  Putin painted a devil and Obama making him look a saint....   No doubt he is smarter than the whole current US administration put together.... playing them at their own game.

Not mentioning the unarmed marines..... protecting Hillary?  smiley: eyes
