| 2015-09-26 | |
The Iran agreement "is proof of the potential of political goodwill, exercised with sincerity, patience and constancy," Francis said in an address to the United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... .

I suspect they've already got a bomb or two and what we see from Washington is simply resignation. |

You can never shoot too low when it comes to basic Human Nature. Human Nature smells like shit and walks funny most of the time. |
