This is troublesome when our leaders don't know the difference of matters like this. I, as a Shi'a Muslim am ashamed that people can be so ignorant.

Americans are smart and hard working people.
May be if you Azeris were so smart, you would be able to win a war in Karabakh, considering the fact that you had 5 times more soldiers and 8 times more military equipment

What are you saying? Al-Qaeda is Sunni, following Wahabism.

"Allah" is the arabic word for "God," dumb ass.
Maybe someone should report "suspicious activity" whenever you mention the word "Jesus."
Ignorant fuck

nonsence, what you said about bush. utter nonsence. you are unable to back that up with a source. in fact, it's nancy pelosi who had no idea that there was such a thing as AQIM even as the killing of zarqauwi was in the news. progressive democratics simply don't see the war in iraq as part of their job. their incompetence is frightening.
Reyes was chosen to be Intel chair because of his usefulness regarding immigration as a national security issue. I'm almost positive that there is an innocent explanation as to why he didn't answer the questions correctly.

He wasn't transferred over from another committee, he's been on intel for years, during a war no less. There is no excuse for his glaring ignorance. Lazy, unprofessional politician going for a free ride at our expense. Big thanks to the low-standards of the voters in his district for putting him in a position to hurt us all. "Innocent explanation?" Like what?

Like he didn't fully understand the question from Jeff Stein.

I haven't heard anyone make that claim, including Reyes. What's not to understand? Stein: "Al Qaeda is what, I asked, Sunni or Shia?" Also: "And Hezbollah? I asked him. What are they?" If Reyes can't comprehend these simple questions, your excuse for him only deepens my fears.
