  1. My late, very liberal sister in law used them as the only “trusted” news source while her son; a Marine, was fighting these bastards in Iraq. She was completely convinced we were the bad guys.

    Don’t “register” them, drive them from the country at bayonet point.

    Qatar, where the Taliban are trying to establish their political operations base. The Taliban may be negotiating for peace in Afghanistan, but you still DO NOT trust the Tally-wacker shit weasels…and by extension, do not trust the “Qatarzans”
