Much more was discussed on this trip I believe than can be legally reported. (Reading between the lines it appears the GOP Leadership is making sure the Executive Branch isn’t snowballing Congress on National Security Issues. Unbecoming behavior of a President is today sadly what God Fearing Americans have come to expect.)
The Red Line in the sand has become a bloody bath of Christians…….
You can read between the lines? Wow, you must know everything.
Who invade Iraq, I am sure lets throw more troops at It.Get out and let the Saudis fight it.
