"Distrust but verify". beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #75
Verification is the basis of this deal, which Bernie supports. SunSeeker Sep 2015 #99
Google that phrase and take note of who uses it. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #100
Of course she knows her audience. She is trying to get them to support this deal. SunSeeker Sep 2015 #101
Your question is a strawman and ignoring Hillary's dog whistle won't work. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #102
It is not a "dog whistle" for war, for fuck's sake. "Distrust and verify" IS this deal. SunSeeker Sep 2015 #108
Sure it is, denying it won't make it not true. And you guys call us dreamers? beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #109
The thoughtless reply I expected from you. nt SunSeeker Sep 2015 #110
And the same level of denial and obligatory insults I've come to expect from you. beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #111
Because Hillary is the one that got the ball rolling on this deal. nt SunSeeker Sep 2015 #113
And that makes her saber rattling okay how? beam me up scottie Sep 2015 #117
If you contend her efforts to bolster the Iran deal is "sabre rattling," SunSeeker Sep 2015 #126
