Re: More non change from Obama
after they're in office they learn the truth and why their previous positions are nonsense then they adjust their policies and opinions it's really quite simple the fact is, terrorists should have no rights and should be handled by the US military and CIA, not civilian courts On Feb 11, 2:05 pm, jgg1000a jgg1...@hotmail.com wrote: and it is being noted...
