Re: Khizr Khan's speech
I don't know what others feel or think but it strikes me odd if these two American muslims are so adamant all of a sudden and here at the DNC rally to boot about their position(opinion) and their sons death where were they when the muslims that killed at fort hood or the muslims that killed at SanBernadino or the boston bombing or 911 ??????????????????
Like I say real odd they surface at this time and just in time to speak at the Lefty convention and only to try and degrade trump??

Maybe they just got tired of Trump's BS and decided they had to speak up.

Re: Khizr Khan's speech
Not to imply of course that the Clintons are not trustworthy, but I've been unable to verify Hillary's version about the circumstances in which Humayun was killed. Her tale of Kahn walking "ten steps" toward the vehicle doesn't seem to be reflected in the official report that says "Captain Humayun S. M. Khan, 27, of Bristow, Virginia, died June 8, 2004, in Baquabah, Iraq, after a vehicle packed with an improvised explosive device drove into the gate of his compound while he was inspecting soldiers on guard duty."
Why did the report downplay Captain Humayun's heroism?

well u asked and based on your findings I don't think getting killed while checking on guards that are on guard duty is all that heroic? to begin with.His death is very tragic non the less

Re: Khizr Khan's speech
I don't for a moment question the heroism of soldiers who are killed in the service of their country. It's just that I would like to be able to verify Hillary's story. After all, Hillary Clinton is what she is.

of course its the question. its the question of the week. had they simply gone on a news program because someone wanted a interview so be it, but to go on a obvious political program that obviously wanted them to say things that would discredit the opposition because of a political belief is not genuine on their part in my opinion. (on hillarys side)

You do understand how this game works, right? One side calls out the other on things they don't like about them. That your side could only dredge up Dana White and Scott Baio is the Republicans problem.
Don't you ever feel like saying " for f***ks sake Donald, why don't you keep your mouth closed sometimes".
The one thing that is starting to get a little worrisome about Trump, is that he does seem to have pretty thin skin and does not like anybody saying anything about him. Isn't that going to be a bit of a problem if he is President? Diplomacy can be delicate at times and the last thing you need is your President Tweeting something just because someone said something about him

Re: Khizr Khan's speech
and so its ok for a speaker at republican convention to accuse Hillary of being a murderer who who should be in prison but not ok for Mr. Khan to call Trump on his bigoted rants and ignorance of the constitution?.

That's a good heads I win, tails you lose kind of question.
AFAIK, no one accused Hillary of murder, just a profound incompetence that led to the murder of staff that she should have provided better protection for. Khan's tirade about Trump's imagined bigotry and ignorance of the U.S. constitution was just vindictive hyperbole.
