Hillary must be a compulsive liar. What was the point of this lie?

Because I oppose rape, and I oppose letting terrorists come into the U.S. to blow people up!

@1961dave: you support a man who is a sexual predator and who doesn't even pay taxes . You and I disagree - We will see what your saying November 9 th when it will be over -

@1961dave: I wonder how they feel about allied soldiers in their countries.

@Dancmemomisme: Sexual predator, I believe those women were hired by Hillary, just like the protesters at Trump rallies. Donald Trump used the tax laws that applied to him, which includes the allowable deductions. Going by the law he had to pay no takes. It's on a bigger scale than us, but it's just deducting like we would do! If Hillary does get in remember I told you, there will be lots of rape, and once all refugee migration is done. All of the countries that took in refugees will have lots of people killed with terrorist attacks. A lot of countries already have that locked in, the U.S. only will if Hillary gets in.

@fazer1k: Who?

@1961dave: you really need to get a life . Hillary didn't hire the women who Trump sexually assaulted . These woman all told their family and friends prior to the election - Trump is not a good businessman with his bankruptcies and what did I hear has like 87 lawsuits - yeah that is someone I look up to - I think we can both agree they have pasts that are less than desirable for the presidency

@1961dave: Pick a Muslim country and troops are probably either there or have been.

@Dancmemomisme: I really think you need to learn about whats important. If I didn't respect Trump, I certainly do. But even if I didn't and I didn't know that Hillary's a criminal that's attacked the women that Bill raped. I would not vote for her knowing that she hax plans that will do yo the U.S. what has happened to Sweden and Germany. Telling me to get a life because I think it's important to not destroy the country!

@1961dave: I think you need to learn what is important - listen to the billy bush tape - I have been assaulted in my life and to hear someone say that who wants to be president - oh no . Also his mimicking disabled people - no - People are what is important and his disrespect is disgraceful

Kuwait Says Thanks -- Again
Metro Signs Commemorate Second 10th Anniversary

Kuwait is a grateful nation. A very grateful nation.

In fact, the country is so grateful to the United States for liberating it from Iraq in 1991 that its embassy decided to purchase 10th anniversary billboards in area Metro stations - only it's 11 years after the event.

_____On the Web_____
• Kuwait Thanks America
• The Kuwait Information Office
The gaffe caught the public relations team of the Kuwaiti Embassy off guard. Bart Marcois, public affairs adviser of the Kuwait Information Office, said no one in the office was aware of the mistake until a washingtonpost.com reporter called to inquire about the incorrect signs. The Persian Gulf War officially ended in February 1991.

"Since Sept.11, we've been so busy that we forgot [the advertisement] said 10th anniversary," Marcois said. "You've sort of caught us with our pants down."

The signs, which are displayed in 10 Metro stations, show a photo of a Kuwaiti man, his turban and robe blowing in the wind, shielding a boy in front of a burning oil well set ablaze by retreating Iraqi troops. The text thanks the American people on the 10th anniversary of the liberation from Iraq "for our families, for our freedom, for our future."

Marcois doesn't want the mistake to diminish the Kuwaiti message: "One of the messages we tried to get out was America has liberated a lot of countries, but there is only one since World War II that bothered to say 'thank you.' "

Tareq Al-Mezrem, public affairs attaché at the Kuwait Information Office, said the signs have even more resonance since the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon even if they are off by an entire year.

"Especially now, with the war on terrorism, we are trying to show the American people that we are grateful for the American role in liberating Kuwait and support now the war against terror," Al-Mezrem said.

The "Kuwait Thanks America" billboard first ran in Metro stations in August and September 2001. The Kuwait Information Office said that the campaign received such a positive reaction they decided to run it again for the February 2002 anniversary but that they neglected to update the text.

The 12-person office in the Watergate complex was in charge of the content of the ad and did not ask to make changes to the text before running the campaign again this month, according to Nicole Gostonski, account executive at Viacom Outdoor, the company contracted by Metro to sell billboard space. Gostonksi said the billboards typically cost $1,400 per display.

Al-Mezrem, a Kuwaiti, said he likes the ad and hopes it will run again. If it does, he said, the text will be corrected.

@Dancmemomisme: people are what's important, that's why we need a president who won't cause them to be raped and kilked. Trump mocjing people is not as bad as Hillary attacking rape victims. Who email rekease already cost someone his life. And I bet that evil thing lost no sleep at all. She is truly heartless. Fortunatly I'm very confident enough people will not want terrorists and rapists let into the country that Trump will easily win.

@1961dave: we will see Dave - we will see . Don't think it will happen . Have a good night Dave !

@Dancmemomisme: Goodnight, sirry if you thought I was mean before, I'm pasionate about this. I do believe our country with actually collapse under Hillary. Once ISIS attack many countries heavily from within Hillary and other countries will declare martial law. I know you're gonna say that sounds crazy, but the pieces are fitting!

@1961dave: Kuwait is happy for sure. But not everyone is, obviously, hence the retaliation. Trump will exacerbate the problem, surely you know that.

@fazer1k: WTF are you talking about?

@1961dave: You mentioned terrorists blowing things up in America didn't you? And you believe the situation will improve under Trump? His racist views will exacerbate the problem.

@fazer1k: He doesn't have racist views. He said we should not the the refugees in unless we can be sure we have a way to screen for ISIS . Hilary called him a racist for that it's not racist, it's logical. The refugees are coming from ISIS territory. Vetting can't work, it's obvious and the FBI confirmed it. Even if it was true, and it's not it wouldn't matter. ISIS wants to kill all westerners. Hillary is making it easy for them, she wants to let lots of refugees in.

@1961dave: He's racist enough to attract kkk members it seems.

@fazer1k: pffftt are you saying you don't think the KKK is a bunch of idiots? Just because some racist idiots support him doesn't make him a racist. That's not logical at all. If Ghandi and Mother Theresa were running would the one the KKK voted for be a racist!

@1961dave: No, they're a bunch of idiots - no disagreement there. I'm sure they are made for each other.

@fazer1k: You only think Trump is a racist because the criminal Hillary said so. He didn't do anything racist!

@1961dave: Here are some reported examples.

No surpruse that your "source" is the extremely Liberal Huffington Post! What a speculative bunch of Bullshit! You only believe that because you want to!

@1961dave: There are examples of his racist comments across a wide range of media. I believe Trump would be dangerous for the world and likely to provoke wars.

@fazer1k:Hou can speculate on how Trump will be, Hillary already confirmed that she plans to bring lots of Syrian refugees to the U.S. If she's in the U.S. will be in the same mess as Germany and Sweden. She's confirmed damage that she plans. Also it seems like Hillary will probably provoke a war with Russia, Trump won't.
