reawakening I suspect it is either Kushner or Ivanka.

I should say that my autocorrect decided to change that to Middle Easy. (I caught it in time.) I wonder who it's been taking lessons from! Grin

The leaks do seem to be springing up all over the place but then considering the following, I suppose it's not surprising Grin

1/ Something fishy re this story on boy wonder Jared Kushner calling Lockheed to get reduced THAAD price for Saudis www.nytimes.com/2017/05/18/world/middleeast/jared-kushner-saudi-arabia-arms-deal-lockheed.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=first-column-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news

2/ First, why do @MarkLandler @EricSchmittNYT and @mattapuzzo refer to THAAD as a "radar system?" It's more than that.

3/ Second, was Kushner successful in his quest to get the price reduced? Story doesn't say or even pose the question.

Across I know the woods have a powerful resonance in US literature and culture but 'being out in the woods' sounds like a code for some covert mission. Smile

Who are the Gang of Eight?

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 19/05/2017 20:43

Wonder what Farage makes of it all

CaveMum · 19/05/2017 20:48

Thanks for new thread, no doubt I'll be catching up on all the latest links during baby Cave's late night feeding sessions
