You do realize that not only is there no physical evidence to prove any of those charges [no bodies, no photoes, no hunting-knife], but also conflicting testimony from the Iraqi soldiers that brought the kid to Ghallagher; claiming the kid had arterial bleeding in the legs and neck and was pretty much dead on arrival... but they'd seen this guy do magic with a scalpel...

Oh, and also, at the base of their charge, the Marine-Sniper/medic/seal apparently was failing to hit civillians he was aiming at "because his rifle wasn't sighted in properly"...

As for him being sloppy... the Iraqis he helped train state otherwise, and that it was the 9 accusing him that were slacking hard enough for Ghallagher to file individual complaints against each of them. The charges were filed against Ghallagher when the nine realized they'd be going back to TARDEC together, afterwards [With E. G. as their commanding officer].

Wait, what? Were there Iranian terrorists during 9/11?

The White House is claiming Iran supports Al Quaeda (I can't spell it). That would be enough to legally use force.

It was at Texarkana, a Cajun restaurant on West 10th Street (between 5th and 6th Avenues). Abe de la Houssaye was the head chef.

Unfortunately, the restaurant closed down long ago and has been converted into a nightclub.

Kris Kobach, the former Kansas Secretary of State and head of President Trump's election fraud investigation, has submitted a list of demands should he be named "immigration czar."

- Office in the West Wing.

- Walk-in privileges with the president.

- Assistant to the President rank - at highest pay level for WH senior staff.

- Staff of 7 people (2 attorneys, 2 research analysts, 1 scheduler, 1 media person, 1 assistant).

- POTUS sits down individually with Czar and the secretaries of Homeland Security, Defense, Justice, Ag, Interior, and Commerce, and tells each of the Secretaries to follow the directives of the Czar without delay, subject to appeal to the President in cases of disagreement.

- 24/7 access to either a DHS or DOD jet. Czar must be on the border every week.

- Ability to spend weekends in KS with family on way from border back to DC, unless POTUS needs Czar elsewhere.

- Security detail if deemed necessary after security review.

- Serve as the face of Trump immigration policy - the principal spokesman on television and in the media.

- Promise that by November 1, 2019, the president will nominate Kris Kobach to be DHS Secretary, unless Kobach wishes to continue in Czar position.

One hardly knows what to say.

I especially liked this one, "POTUS sits down individually with Czar and the secretaries of Homeland Security, Defense, Justice, Ag, Interior, and Commerce, and tells each of the Secretaries to follow the directives of the Czar without delay, subject to appeal to the President in cases of disagreement." As if. Why not just say, "POTUS will resign by November 1, 2019, and appoint the Czar acting president."

Really makes you wonder how desperate Trump is to find people to fill positions that this guy can strut in making demands like this.

It's one thing to have a designated jet, that seems rather reasonable, actually, but to demand that much administrative privilege for a hypothetical position that HE came up with and also he is the most qualified candidate for this position?

The guy's got a rather inflated ego for a failed former Secretary of State from bumfuck Kansas.
