Obama administration says Iran and Hezbollah no longer terror threats
<div>
Just when you think Obama’s absolutely awful foreign policy and pandering to radical Islam couldn’t possibly get any worse, he decides to remove both Iran and Hezbollah off the list of terror threats.
So either this guy is intentionally placing our country and our relationships with allies in the Middle East at risk, or he’s dumber than a box of rocks and actually believes his progressive kumbaya style policies will create a peaceful Utopian society on earth.
I’m thinking it’s both.

Good more click bait links from highly partisan and reputable sources.
This is from the director of intelligence in a report to congress. What's the hoopla?

I agree that people do need to check out the source before linking the news story and not be too quick to react to it; but to be fair, most every major news source out there these days is very partisan, and tends to spread propaganda. That's why I mainly trust independent online news sources like VICE News and RT America.

The man is an idiot regardless of what any news source says. And I voted for him in 2008. I must have been smoking some serious stuff back then.......

You have a lot of integrity to admit that. Respect.

How much integrity does it take to smugly say "I voted for the guy who made Sarah Palin his VP" (not saying you did just saying in general)
Don't blame me, I voted for Bob Barr.
Back on topic,
I don't really care who we classify as terror states, terrorist, supporters of terror, friends of terror, bad guys, really bad guys, ugly guys..........Just stop sending foreign aid over sea's and it's all a pointless debate.
Really simple solution.

Does that include health aid sent to countries to combat things like infectious diseases?

I'm all for Humanitarian aid. No military aid.

If we can make sure it's really used as humanitarian aid that's different. But plenty of times we send a billion dollars to North Korea to "feed the hungry" and they turn around and use it to make military upgrades.
Reality we're in no financial position to really be sending aid to anyone. So for the here and now I'd say we have to stop all foreign aid, once our house is in fiscal order then we can talk about humanitarian aid and how it can be done.

Meh, i'd wager if you stop aid for anything BUT humanitarian administered by say the red cross or the like, that would make a big enough impact to the budget. I can't help but think humanitarian aid for real hunger or disease/disaster is a drop in the bucket to military aid.

And just pray that the poorest countries in the world can handle Ebola on their own I suppose.

possible, but the priority needs to be on us getting our fiscal house in order.
