Bama Girl Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I am sure the terrorists are shaking in their boots over the UN's condemnation.😒 I recall the UN's multitude of warnings to Saddam Hussein but it took the US to bring him down. Jmho. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
