— Ace He's a member of Egypt's parliament now.
Did he come to the US to swear he renounced terrorism?
Nope!
The group was banned under former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, and is now a recognized Islamist political party. Its spiritual leader, Omar Abdel Rahman—also known as the “blind sheik”—was convicted in 1995 of plotting attacks on New York City landmarks and transportation centers, and is serving a life sentence in a North Carolina federal prison....In his meetings with senior Obama administration officials, Eldin says, he asked Deputy National Security Adviser Denis McDonough about transferring Abdel-Rahman to an Egyptian prison. He said his request was declined.
I don't want to rag on the State Department or Obama too much, but what is the point of granting him a Visa? So he can come to the US and plead to let the guy who first tried to take down the Twin Towers escape to Egypt?
I understand "diplomacy." But what diplomacy is possible with this guy?
He's a terrorist, come to argue on behalf of another terrorist. Deny him entry. Let it be known we don't treat with terrorists.

Hey, you know, Rashid Khalidi, Hani Nour Eldin, the blind sheik, what's the diff, right?
The most beautiful sound in the world is the call to prayer after all.

I'm still scratching my head why our son is fighting the Tolleebon in A-Stan since Special Joe Biden said they're not our enemy "per se."
If he ever gets a chance to meet Commander Clusterfuck I'm sure Dear Leader will bow to him.

That'll change their behavior. The only people Obama is really willing to fight against is the American people.

These are not our enemies, we have reached an understanding , everything was a miscommunication of ideas. we've learned to respect their hopes and dreams, we are the world citizens as you know , we have done wrong as sometimes they also did wrong. We have decided to get over it.
however the Republicans are enemy number 1 for all the Right reasons. so fight you enemies and get in their faces!

Not that it would have made a smidge of difference to the brain-dead 52%, but it sure could come in handy right now for those teetering on the brink of voting SCOAMF or for actual, real, hope and change in the form of Romney.
My happy happy glow from my husband telling me last night his younger brother, the life-long lib dem is actually going to vote for Romney, was tempered this evening when he informed me his oldest sister and brother are still True Believers and Everything.Is.Boooosh's.Fault.
F*ck them both to hell (sadly, along with my sister the "proud socialist").
As much as I miss my parents, I thank God they're not around to listen to my crazy sister and know what their only grandson is dealing with in A-Stan.
So there's that.

Shoot the plane down before it gets into US airspace. There's a terrorist on board afterall.
Bush should have done that to Imanutjob when he came to the UN. Just shoot the thing down, explain he was a terrorist and part of the 1979 embassy takeover and then point to the US strategic nuclear arsenal and ask if there were any questions.

SCOAMT is expecting him to bring back some of that money and donate it to his campaign. If he thinks asking for wedding presents is a good idea I'm sure he'll think foreign aid is his by right.

Completely OT, but my wife and I are planning long term to move to either the Charleston, Beaufort, or Savannah area (which I believe is your neck of the woods, if I remember correctly). Any suggestions on neighborhoods or nearby towns? I'm trying to get a rough idea on what to expect. I've visited all three, so I'm at least vaguely familiar with each of them. Delaware's growing ever more craptastic, and I figure in 10-15 years, we'll probably end up down that way.

I'd love to talk with you. I'm equally familiar with Charleston, SC (which I heart with all my heart) as I am with Savannah.
I have an e-mail set up at gmail (which I never use/check but will if you want to reach me): Janedoh1990 at gmail dot com.
You'd love either Savannah or Charleston. Savannah's economy is picking up, as well as the housing market. Both cities have incredible arts and music. We host the Int'l. Film Festival each year through SCAD, as well as the nationally popular Savannah Book Festival and Savannah Music Festival.
Send me an e-mail and I promise to check and get back to you.

"Eldin says, he asked Deputy National Security Adviser Denis McDonough about transferring Abdel-Rahman to an Egyptian prison."
Denis McDonough is the National Security Council's chief of staff and one of President Obama's closest advisers. Mr. McDonough is reportedly so close to the president that colleagues — even his superiors — often do not make a major move without first checking with him.
His work during the campaign sealed his role as Mr. Obama's most trusted foreign policy aide in the White House.
