    adnan lived in kuwait for 17 years like a kuwaiti. even all his friends were kuwaiti. he was welcomed in their houses, ate with them, went out with them and now that he became american he is saying bad things about kuwait and forgot that kuwait made him who he is now
    no american should be proud of such person. adnan should be proud that he lived in such a generous country where his father worked and was HIGHLY paid and his family still live there and never thought of leaving q8

    The US liberated Kuwait in exchange for Kuwait’s OIL and money. They didn’t do it out of the kindness of their hearts. It was a business transaction, help us and we help you. So stop dragging out and thinking that you did something huge. Cause all it shows is greed :D

    9,000 dollars! So he got the better end of the deal and is making it sound like he was discriminated against! He also had so many friends back in high school all kuwaiti. He was the president of the student representative council in school as well as class valedictorian. So what more proof does one need to know that they aren’t being discriminated against? BESIDES his fake speech is just a bunch of quotes he found on the internet. he always does that. It’s just a sham!

    I knew adnan personally in high school back in Kuwait. He was never discriminated against. The only thing he ever keeps talking about is how he ‘wasnt eligible for free public education’ FYI to all those who doesn’t know he was eligible for public education but it cost him a measly fee of 200 dollars per year! COME ON thats pretty generous I think. Besides he didn’t need public education since he got FREE PRIVATE EDUCATION which his dad’s company paid for which would have cost a Kuwaiti citizen

    Follow-up to my comment above. I now know Adnan personally. I can personally testify that Adnan does not use a teleprompter. He speaks with passion and from the heart. I can say that his “Impossible Is Nothing” speech or modified forms of it have been delivered several times since the Convention. He is a smart young man and knows how to deliver a speech without using any teleprompters. Its called practice, practice, practice!

    If one or two of the professors (or even students) at Virginia Tech had been carrying personal firearms, the shooter could have been stopped, and many lives could have been saved. But instead, all people could do was cower behind desks and get shot like fish in a barrel. THAT is tragic.

    I shouldn’t think so. His very first sentence said something about the troops fighting for America’s freedoms on the streets of Baghdad. Agree or disagree with the war, you can’t claim that it is being fought for the freedom of American citizens. The security, perhaps. The freedom, hardly. It sounded rather propaganda-ish, and frankly untrue — careless at best, dissimulating at worst. I confess to not having listened further, so if later points of the speech inspired you, my apologies.

    Virginia has very strict gun laws but doesn’t not ban people who have never committed a crime from having them. Also crazy nuts and criminals don’t care about the law by definition. It seems to me it was our Democrat candidates that would have crazy nut criminal felons voting.

    Tell that to the Iraqi’s now. I did not see how he hates the middle east. He doesn’t have to hate the middle east to love America. He is a winner because he doesn’t embroil himself in the bitterness and anger that keeps those down in his homeland. Also the US liberated Kuwait. Listen to this man’s message it is a message of individuality and personal responsibility. A message rooted in the principles of the founding of this country.

    He is endorsing Bob McDonnell because he believes in himself and his country. What did Bob McDonnell have to do with Virginia Tech. A crazed student happened to Virginia tech. You are the problem. Always looking to misassign blame and wear the flag of victimhood. This man is a winner and Bob McDonnell is a winner. They both have won because they work hard and do the right thing rather than making excuses for doing the wrong thing and lifting up human weakness as merit.

    But I’m just against his actions. The most puzzling thing to me is how on earth is he ENDORSING Bob McDonnel after what happened at Virginia Tech! His own alma matter! It’s awful, just awful.

    With all due respect, the US didn’t do any ‘liberation’. I think it’s unwise to still pretend like we think they went in to ‘liberate’ when even republican themsevles know they went in for the oil, and to show China and the EU that they still have the upperhand. Liberation never was and never will involve the death of over 1 million innocent people and the torture of innocent people in prisons (Abu ghraib). I personally have nothing against Adnan Barqawi, he seems to be very eloquently outspoken

    Also, wait a minute, he’s endorsing the war in Iraq and Afghanistan? him being Palestinean should make him do the opposite. I think he’s got some personal issues with Kuwait (i.e them not giving him citizenship) that caused him to be all ‘ I hate the middle east’ even though he is middle eastern! It’s great that he’s American and all now, but common, at join the democrats (way more logical, awesome, and don’t go around killing innocent people around the world).

    Wait a minute? Didn’t that kid go to Tech? isn’t Bob McDonnell the reason the massacre happened (loose gun laws and all). So he’s endorsing a man, who’s laws lead to the death of 32 of his school mates? very wise!

    I have read much of what you have written in this string your rants are hateful as well as demonstratively (and laughably) false. Funny how a patriotic young man can trigger such anger and hate in a liberal. Whether or not you respond, Ill not waste any more time on such a pathetic creature.
