CNN: US preparing to send hundreds of troops to Saudi Arabia amid Iran tensions

The Trump administration is reinforcing its controversial military relationship with Saudi Arabia by preparing to send hundreds of troops to the country amid increasing tensions with Iran.

Five-hundred troops are expected to go to the Prince Sultan Air Base, located in a desert area east of the Saudi capital of Riyadh, according to US two defense officials. A small number of troops and support personnel are already on site with initial preparations being made for a Patriot missile defense battery as well as runway and airfield improvements, the officials said.

The US has wanted to base troops there for some time because security assessments have shown Iranian missiles would have a difficult time targeting the remote area.

British MP Demands an End to Affordable Food, to Combat Obesity and Climate Change

UKIP shall replace the Conservative Party.

Any party that has

John Major
David Cameron
Theresa May

as leaders is past its prime.

If people have enough money and time (& low crime), they naturally engage in recreational activities.

But another pillar of the state is increase fuel prices so as to fix things, so having enough money & time is problematic.

Official School Records Support Claims That Ilhan Omar Married Her Brother

' The motivation for the marriage remains unclear. However, the totality of the evidence points to possible immigration fraud and student loan fraud.

Rep. Omar has stated that she did marry "British citizen" Ahmed Nur Said Elmi in 2009, though the allegation that he is her brother is "absurd and offensive." '

How is it so hard to figure out who Ahmed Nur Said Elmi is related to?

Another question is "What tribe or clan does Omar belong to?"

Anonymous said...

"The enrollment record states that “Ahmed N. Elmi” was born on April 4, 1985.

Both Ilhan Omar’s 2009 marriage documents and her 2017 divorce proceedings state that Ahmed Nur Said Elmi was born on April 4, 1985."


Anonymous said...

"I then contacted several members of the Class of 2003 -- and I was told that Eli “was living with his father” while attending Arlington Senior High School. I have also obtained the likely address.

Further, Elmi’s father was identified as the same man Ilhan Omar has always publicly referred to as her own father: Nur Said Elmi Mohamed."

So how does Omar immigrate to the US and we don not know her father for sure?

If we don't know her father how can she see any intel in The Hill?

"Induendo is not an Italian suppository"

You are correct for once Fred.

The word that you wanted English Department Chair and PhD was innuendo.

You are one of the few people posting crap here. What I post is not crap.

You support Democrats. Democrats support Ilhan Omar. Ilhan Omar supports BDS.

Ergo you support BDS.

It makes me call into question whether you are pro-Israeli. I do not think there is enough evidence to convict of being pro-Israeli. Sadly, there is enough evidence to support a conviction of being pro-Palestinian.


PS Kamala Harris is not Black. She is a poser.

What exactly do we get out of being pro-israeli? In tangible benefits. I keep hearing that they're our only ally in the middle east but I don't remember having any enemies before the "special relationship".

Gamal Abdel Nasser was never an ally.

Israel's backer in the 1950s was France not the US. that changed in the 1960s.

Nasser came to power in 1956.

"what I post is not crap"?
you are a gossip, girly boy, making nothing but insulting remarks for some reason that I can not understand. A few have called you on you on your insults but that does not deter you. You have then a shallow life, doubtless without friends (who could like a snippy school girl?) and a need to stalk and insult in order to...lord knows what
ps: if the US did not back Israel till the 60s then what is this:



At midnight on May 14, 1948, the Provisional Government of Israel proclaimed a new State of Israel. On that same date, the United States, in the person of President Truman, recognized the provisional Jewish government as de facto authority of the Jewish state (de jure recognition was extended on January 31, 1949).

Why do trumpians who keep badmouthing the 4 ladies worry so much about them? Those women are elected and, if disliked by their home states, they will not get re-elected. Meantime, dumping all this nonsense will not change anything but show your allegiance to low IQ Trump, who looks to his silly low IQ people to go along with him.

Send Ilhan Omar back to Somalia!

Why?

She is anti-American; so there is a precedent.

What is the proof that she is anti-American.

Democrat Party leader Nancy Pelosi said so.

Susan Collins is a RINO.

She has not been well liked by real Republicans since the early 1990s.

Limbaugh called her and Olympia Snowe bewildered wilderbeasts.

It might have been knock kneed bewildered wilderbeasts.

At any rate she is not well liked.

"Trump’s 'Go Home' Invective Echoes Nazi Incitement Against Jews " - A so called teacher, but really a quack.

Here is the full quote, which I am providing to you although you are a very mendacious and extremely unintelligent person.

"So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly......

....and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how....

....it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!"

"RHINO: someone who does kiss Trump's butt" - English PhD

It is spelled RINO. It is an acronym. The term predates Trump and has nothing to do with Trump. PhD, do you know the meaning of the word 'predates' or do you need some kind person provide you with a link?

"Republican In Name Only (RINO) is a pejorative term used by conservative members of the United States Republican Party to describe Republicans whose political views or actions they consider insufficiently conservative. The acronym emerged in the 1990s.

In 1912, former President Theodore Roosevelt, then-President William Howard Taft, and Senator Robert M. La Follette fought for ideological control of the Republican Party and each denounced the other two as "not really Republican."[citation needed] The phrase Republican in name only emerged as a popular political pejorative in the 1920s, 1950s, and 1980s.

The earliest known print appearance of the term RINO was in the Manchester, New Hampshire newspaper then called The Union Leader"

You do know that 1990 predates Trumps candidacy and presidency? You do know that the 1920s predates Trumps birth? I am honestly asking because you have a hard time with numbers.

"Limbaugh: druggie calls her names. wow she is ok"

1) Someone has back pain or an injury gets hooked on drugs? That is unusual? I remember a relative who had surgery twice with in a 1/2 year and they really liked the drugs. So whatever.

2) Here votes have been discussed in detail all through the 1990s. That she voted for Kavanaugh was unexpected given her history.

Professor Ballsy Ford is a lair, who scrubbed her social media of the typical liberal invective before going public, because she knew she was going to lie for the cause.

Parties are defined by their policies, professed and enacted.

Your definition of RHINO and GOP is a failure.

GOP is the part of Trump?

Low U3
Higher tax revenue collection with lower tax rate
Stronger Defense

I'll cop to that.
