Im not saying he deserves sympathy, but if all this lady is gonna do is smugly stumble over questions about how the United States is the only country with any blood on its hands over events from the 80s and virtue signal at the expense of America, then she should STFU.

What difference would it make if the US was the only country or one of a hundred more that she should be focusing on? You need to concern yourself with us being on that list instead of worrying about if we are the ONLY country on the list.

I think it's naive to think that any country could ever go through history and never make mistakes. Sometimes the lesser of evils is the best option. I could hope all day for how things should be, but if I want to live in reality, then I have to accept, hopefully learn from, and move past the bad things that sometimes happen. No country is perfect.

And for the record if she had just asked straight up about human rights in Venezuela then I think he would've answered. Her pro communist speech masquerading as a question was just meant to score cheap easy points with the rest of the dumb hags and in her echo chamber.

Hey buddy... I think you missed the point. I never have said or do I expect every country to be perfect. You are correct, they are going to make mistakes. My issue is that you and people like you do not want to acknowledge those mistakes when it comes time to understand our present circumstances. Iran being the perfect example. It went from being one of the most Westernized countries in the Middle East after WW II to being a home to a despotic Shah for 25 years and a theocratic state the last 40 years. The US doesn't seem to want to admit what role they have played in creating modern day Iran.

It has absolutely nothing to do with critics expecting US to be perfect. Just own up to the part we played in all of this.

If your definition of acknowledgement is sobbing about it on tv with Somali terrorists 30 years later, then thats your business.

Im trying to type these responses out in between busy happenings, sometimes with less, sometimes with more success.

So how do we acknowledge past mistakes most sufficiently? And what exactly do you mean people like me?

ILHAN OMAR’S MINNESOTA CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT IS THE TERROR RECRUITING CAPITOL OF THE US

FBI statistics reveal that Minnesota’s fifth congressional district, which is represented by Rep. Ilhan Omar and includes the urban area of Minneapolis, is the jurisdiction with the highest rate of terrorist recruitment in the United States.

Minnesota is reported to have the highest Somali population in the United States, with current population estimates breaching 100,000. This demographic has proven to be connected to terror-related activities, Fox News reports,
​
“More men and boys from a Somali American community in Minneapolis have joined — or attempted to join — a foreign terrorist organization over the last 12 years than any other jurisdiction in the country.

FBI stats show 45 Somalis left to join the ranks of either the Somalia-based Islamic insurgency al-Shabab, or the Iraq- and Syria-based ISIS combined. And as of 2018, a dozen more had been arrested with the intention of leaving to support ISIS.”​
In the past, Omar has shown her strong affinity for the Somali community in her district, as well as abroad. In one case in 2016, Omar — who at the time was only a state rep. in Minnesota — defended a group of nine Somalis who had attempted to cross the border into Mexico in a plan to reach Syria, “planning to join ISIS,” KMSP-TV reports.

There are a number of reasons why the Twin City region is afflicted by such high rates of terror recruitment. Robin Simcox, a terrorism and national security expert at The Heritage Foundation, told Fox News that Minnesota’s unique demographic density of Somalis creates favorable conditions for broad radicalization and frequent terror recruitment.

For over a decade, Islamist terror groups have been able to recruit from Minnesota. This is, in part, because Minnesota has a large Muslim population compared to other parts of the U.S. However, it is also because there have been small segments of the Somali community there that have struggled to integrate into the U.S. Al-Shabaab and ISIS have exploited this – upon religious, political cultural and identity issues to offer a compelling alternative to Western democracy.​

ILHAN OMAR TO FUNDRAISE FOR HAMAS-LINKED MUSLIM ORGANIZATION

Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar is scheduled to raise money in March with the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) only a week after she used an anti-Semitic trope to claim Israel has paid for GOP support.

Omar will be the keynote speaker at CAIR’s 4th Annual Valley Banquet on March 23 to discuss advancing justice and empowering Muslims, according to the organization’s invitation. Single tickets start at $55 per person and a table can cost upwards of $500.

Hassan Shibly, the chief executive director for CAIR-Florida, will also be speaking at the event. Shibly has emphatically stated that Hezbollah and Hamas are not terrorist organizations, reported Jordan Schachtel at Conservative Review.

How in the world is making that claim anti-Semitic?

I don't think her latest tweets were anti-Semetic. Her hypnotizing the world tweet was because it hinted at a worldwide Jewish conspiracy. I do think she's anti-Semetic, and that she will slip up and say something more overtly so. Merely questioning Israel isn't anti-Semetic though.

The US has done some really bad things throughout the world, but it’s also done a lot of good. Bringing up decades old issues on a public stage is solely for shaming the US. That’s all Ilhan cares about when she gets on twitter or in front of a mic. Be careful in supporting her agenda, because her reasons behind them are to hurt this country.

Oh, I'm sure she has an agenda behind what she is saying that is dubious. However, if the Devil says the sky is blue or water is wet, why argue with those facts?

If the Devil tells you facts, then it’s time to find new company since he only tells you those facts to weasel his way in and destroy you.

And I’ve said previously I have I didn’t have an issue with her rebuking that guy with ties to the Iran Contra and Honduras genocides. He is a vile human being. It’s basically like watching two gangbangers fight over turf. Do you really pull for one over the other in that situation?

I never said the US shouldn't do that. I said it shouldn't have to explain anything to brother marrying probable terrorist America hating racist morons like Omar, but please tell me more about what people like me think.

The Daily Caller- ACCUSED SPY FOR IRAN ALLEGEDLY RADICALIZED DURING STINT AT US UNIVERSITY THAT TOOK $100M FROM MUSLIM NATIONS

  • Texas-born Monica Witt is charged with defecting to Iran and working as a spy.
  • Witt earned a master’s degree in Middle East studies from George Washington University, which has taken $100 million from Muslim-majority nations.
  • The U.S. government has also funded Middle East centers within U.S. universities, but the centers sometimes employ academics who espouse anti-American sentiment.
A former U.S. Air Force intelligence specialist accused of espionage for Iran, Monica Witt, was allegedly radicalized in part during a stint at a Washington university that has taken $100 million from Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries.
Certain American universities have received funding from the U.S. government with a partial goal of training students to be diplomats and intelligence specialists for the U.S., while simultaneously accepting financial donations from Middle East countries. In some cases, the programs have been staffed by academics who are critical of U.S. policy and who publicly espouse fringe positions.
Witt was charged Feb. 13 by the Department of Justice with sharing government secrets with Iranianofficials. She was allegedly helping create a cyber-hacking operation on fellow former agents. She is at large and believed to be in Iran.
Witt’s radicalization “was rooted in Ms. Witt’s military service and … accelerated while she was in graduate school” at George Washington University, where she earned a master’s degree in its Middle East Studies program, The New York Times reported.
​
A classmate of Witt’s, Cory Ellis, told the Times that “everyone just kind of sat and watched” as Witt expressed strong feelings against American foreign policy in class.
The Times described GWU’s program as an “academic proving ground for aspiring diplomats and researchers near the State Department’s headquarters.”
Muslim-majority nations — plus a handful of private groups associated with them — have given $100 million to George Washington University in the form of gifts and contracts since 2011, according to Department of Education disclosures. That includes $80 million from Saudi Arabia, $14 million from Kuwait, $4.5 million from the United Arab Emirates, and $730,000 from Turkey. Most of those countries gave as recently as June 2018.
The Middle East centers of Washington-area universities provide a direct line to shaping U.S. policy. In 2011, for example, GWU’s now-director of the Middle East studies program Nathan Brown testified before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence: “We have no policy toward the [Muslim] Brotherhood. And let me stake out what might seem to be an odd position here: I do not think we need a policy.”
​
“Is the movement harboring a desire to pursue its agenda through forceful, even violent means? The answer to this question is clear: no,” he said, highlighting a comparison between the Muslim Brotherhood and the Boy Scouts.
