BUSH AWARDED THE NOBEL ‘PIECE’ PRIZE

Now, the people who are really getting tough with the Middle East, is the House Foreign Relations Committee. Those motherf***ers are not kidding around.

To send a stern message to the Ottoman Empire.- Bill Maher

This is an amazing story to me. Ramsey Yusef – you know that name? He was the mastermind of the first World Trade Center attack back in ’93 – been rotting in prison as he should these many years.
