    Not to mention such hits as"Saddam did 9/11 not the Saudis and he's planning on getting some WMDs for round two", "this trade deal won't put our citizenry in zero-sum competition with foreign slave labor", "but this group we want to back are moderate freedom fighters not bloodthirsty jihadist...
