Don't know how you can get anything else done with this incredible reporting!!! Thanks Nadita! This beheading happening not only in the ME but here in our country seems unreal-we must keep praying!

[a-j516]

thanks Nadita, great spin.  It seems kind of strange that a person can jump a fence carrying a knife and make it inside the white house.  I believe he would have beheaded someone if he could have found anyone home.  Security at the white house seems to be a joke.

I don't believe being a lawyer has anything to do with it. It's called being a leader.

nuke bomb program, is a bigger danger!

Capt

 

There is true leader with vision, leader who only can take care of the flock, wannabe leader  so which one...? a leader should have a vision, care about the people, strategist, and wise

[captl1]

And a true leader is defined by their actions not by their inaction.
