He has a big mouth, no balls. Wasn't going to shoot anybody, just make money
selling military hardware.
Look, this guy is going to talk, make a deal, and he'll end up living in Arizona
in a house next to Sammy the Bull's. And driving a Chrysler.
My condolences to Arizona and mopar fans.

| Calling American's "bastards" is certainly not specific to Muslims or
| Middle Easterners. Large chunks of Europe, both Americas, Aisa,
| Australia/NZ, and Africa also think Americans are "bastards" too. Heck,
| I bet there are even some in Antarctica that think Americans are
| "bastards" too :-)

| illegal Israeli settlers if the price was right. Probably even call the
| Arabs "bastards" too. I'd put a large wager on it.
