#23  afterbeing attacked for months via Qasom missiles from Gaza.

Years, actually, Ebboque Glomoling7679. It started with the second Intifada, but really took off after Israel pulled completely out of Gaza in 2005.

#22  On January 27, Israel had already pulled back from its invasion of Gaza after being attacked for months via Qasom missiles from Gaza.

However, Hamas and the Palestinians had again begun attacking Israel on January 27, the day that President Barak Obama issued the order below to bank roll Gaza which is controlled by Hamas.

#18  Yeah, and Midoman, I could have told you that would happen. You were fun for a while but if all you can deliver is juvenile bathroom humor it gets very boring very quickly and the mods at this site have very little patience for it. Post something intelligent that pertains to the thread, if you can, and they might let you even if they disagree. If you can't just shut up and read. Who knows? You might learn something.

#17  In office barely 19 days, and the seeds of disaster are already well sown. This idiot will cause the needless death of thousands if not millions. My only prayer is that he screws the pooch so badly that the Democrat Party is destroyed.

Whatever steps that are needed to rebuild this once great nation after he is gone, are going to be a terrible hardship for several generations. I sometimes despair, he could be the end for my beloved America.

May the Marxists and Islamists reap what they have sown. When the pendulum swings back the other way, there shall be no mercy for these creatures.

#16  Anything to enhance the Democrat majority.

We have a new contestant in the Worst President Ever Contest.

#15  This most obviously runs counter the our national interest and our national security. The people of Gaza wanted war and they got it. If allowed into this country or any other country they will certainly engage in the kinds of terrorist activities for which they are famous in Gaza. Can we start impeachment proceedings now?

#14  Settle them in Plains Georgia.

#13  It doesn't, per se, indicate they are allowed into US. It also doesn't say they aren't. With Hillary running State, ask yourself if Visas for these scum would be permitted. She'd give them a first class ticket and a grant of say $10,000 per head to get them settled. And probably let the PeaNut from Georgia be in charge of the relocation plans. It really indicates one thing which has beeen obvious for so long. Bambi is a Muzz. He favors them. He's going to coddle them. He's going to allow them to hit us again. They bought him & he's got to deliver. If you're still a doubter, just sit and watch. And, mebbe you oughta start drawing up plans for a bunker in your back yard, similar to the nuke shelters popular in the 50's.

#12  It's not for migration. He's just funding more rocket production for Hamas.

#11  Time to buy another case of ammunition.

#10  This just appears to be additional funding for humanitarian aid

#8  Dear Rantburgers

Instead of sitting, go and speak around you (that includes news organizations) that he is allowing into the states those people who handled candy on 9/11. Then tell about probability that given how much they hate the US they perpetrate acts of terror or help in their perpetration.

#7  I wouldn't be at all surprised to see special immigration status granted these people. This is only the beginning. Charges against USS COLE Terrorist Abu al-Nashiri have been dropped. USS Cole victim families (all but one) got a smoochy, smoochy visit with The One. In his book, Dreams of My Father, he said "If the political winds turn, I will stand with the Muslims." The GWOT is over and he'll be releasing all of the detained terrorists soon. It won't be him however, it will be Eric Holder siting "the law." And we all know The One must follow "the law" Anshallah.

#6  Not only is this money old news, but its got nothing to do with moving Hamas vermin stateside.

#5  I think that's just cash money to fill in the gap when the racist UN cut off the terror resupply line humanitarian aid trucks.

#4  There is unmatched foolishness in this decision.
Moslems think he's a joke and a pushover, and they will treat all the rest of us that way as well.

You Mr President, and that Congress come from the bottom depths of hell.

#1  Sumbitch really wants to destroy this country, doesn't he?

I'd suggest he move them all into his house in Illinois, them being such fine upstanding citizens and all - he's not using it right now.
