For a start, if we are going to send in troops, take out all those pickup trucks with machine guns mounted in the back. Ditto for every other truck and tank. Make them all foot soldiers.
I say we kill them all…. that’s *our* land! What the hell are they doing on *our* land?
You aren’t really for property rights anyway, so what does it matter?
Everything is everyone’s.
:)
A species doesn’t deserve to survive that doesn’t act as a community.
There are certain communities that we might want to go away.
For instance, the prison community.
Just because it’s a community doesn’t mean it’s “good”.
yeah… sort of like “the greatest good for the greatest number” – prisons are “good.”
lol…sure…”war is peace” too. Come on, don’t debate on the axiomatic view that some communities should go away, you’re better than that.
Beyond that, you should really try to work on some cognizant view on how property rights should work so there’s no dissonance.
talk about dissonance. Are you saying prisons should go away?
Btw, I gave you a thumbs up anyway cause I like your comment.
We never had this problem when Muammar was in charge. Sic Willie must long for those days. Also when Stalin ran things in eastern Europe you didn’t have all that belly aching in places like the Ukraine. Sic Willie, you want him back also?
We never would’ve had a problem if we supported Assad from the beginning.
Or killed him. Excuse me I meant dethroned him.
Killing him would’ve been much, much worse. Putin was right on Syria.
But…. but… we *have* to destabilize *all* the Arab nations… and Persia, too… it’s our (far away look)… DESTINY!
1. Pan Am Flight 103 (involved in the Lockerbie bombing) was a Pan Am transatlantic flight from Frankfurt to Detroit via London and New York City that was destroyed by a terrorist bomb on Wednesday, 21 December 1988, killing all 243 passengers and 16 crew on board.[1] Large sections of the aircraft crashed into Lockerbie, Scotland, killing 11 more people on the ground.
2. He funded the Black September group who perpetrated the 1972 Munich massacre of Israeli athletes in West Germany, and had the killed militants’ bodies flown to Libya for a hero’s funeral.
3. Gaddafi financially supported other militant groups across the world, including the Black Panther Party, Nation of Islam, Tupamaros, 19th of April Movement and Sandinista National Liberation Front in the Americas,the Provisional Irish Republican Army, Action directe, ETA, the Red Brigades, and the Red Army Faction in Europe, and the Armenian Secret Army, Japanese Red Army, Free Aceh Movement, and Moro National Liberation Front in Asia.
4. In late 1972 and early 1973, Libya invaded Chad to annex the uranium-rich Aouzou Strip.
5. Gaddafi sponsored anti-government militants in Tunisia into the 1980s.
6. Orchestratied the 1986 Berlin discotheque bombing, in which two American soldiers died,
big bad dictator.. 19 nobodies got a higher American kill count.
Suggestion. Buy a dictionary and look up the word sarcasm.
Well you just saw my sarcasm and didn’t understand it. I’m just laying out your point for those with short memories.
Yes, all those former dictators/allies of ours(even Stalin was our ally at one point too!) need taxpayers dollars allocated for either humane bombing or CIA style coup’s to keep us safe from those who hate our freedoms.
If you want to argue that we should “save the lives” of people outside our country with taxpayer dollars instead, then I suggest we could save more and spend less by simply feeding poor people in Africa.
The greatest threat to the USA is NOT Russia, NOT ISIS, NOT AL QUEIDA! The greatest threat to the USA is the administration of BARAK Obama!
Many Americans and future generations will suffer immeasurably from the decisions he makes and the indecissiveness of his actions!
His reelection was a monumental and horrible error, just as Haley’s reelection will be.
The problem is too many people will vote for Haley, just as Obama. They will NOT vote due to their successes (which are non existent) or failures. They will vote to to BLIND party loyalty!
Hey, we survived Dubya. Barely.
That probably means we can survive anything.
actually, we haven’t yet.
Just curious, just when do you expect to start holding the Democrats responsible for the things they do? Obviously you don’t think 6 years is enough, even though for two of those years Democrats had control of both houses of Congress, with super majorities, and the Presidency. Do you intend to wait until things somehow magically get better then say “it took 28 years but we finally fixed Ws mistakes”? You are one sad individual.
Droolin’ Ronnie (currently of Hell) was still blaming Carter for all manner of ills well into Ronnie’s second term.
eh bullshit, I’m not believing that and you can’t prove it. I don’t recall him even dogging Carter at the start of his first term. I do recall the US improving greatly during his presidency though.

What do they do, besides stand aside and let the Republicans fuck us all over?
So, you agree, Democrats aren’t being help responsible for the utter disaster they have created and it will continue to get worse. Why not just get rid of them? Things really can’t get worse with a Republican. Even you doves, with the peace prize President and the door mat Democrats, acknowledge that the world is on the precipice of a third world war. You have the Senate and the Presidency so there is nothing, nothing the Republicans can do to advance a war footing, so with the US creeping its way towards war its all Democrats, and has been Democrats for six years. You want to hate, hate them.
I have long said Obummer is not the problem. He is a symptom of a much bigger problem- a country that would elect a BHO in the first place.
upp, there it is, time to watch the worm channel again.
man they had it so good under qadafi. you didn’t see atrocities making the news when he was in charge. unless they did make the news, but that was entirely not the point. or at least Fits didn’t give a shit about the folks being raped, tortured and murdered under the colonel.
Say what you will about Gaddafi, but if I were a dictator, I’d totally have hot women for bodyguards too.
it’s so good to be bad.
You are a wise man. I bet you enjoy every minute of life. Kudo’s to you.
Hot? They looked like East German swimmers.
Not all of ’em were lookers, but a number of them were.
Benghazi happened. Remember that?
Oh, lord, do we ever. Republicans only brought it up every five minutes. And yet the Congressional report never found a gosh darn trace of cover up. Better start up another committee, amirite?
BENGHAZI!
benghazi! (the new banzai)
Don’t you remember PNAC and the whole reason we did this in the first place? Creative Destruction ring a bell? how about Richard Perle?
Hasn’t *anyone* woken up from this dream yet?
Love this comment.
The neocons envisioned a sort of New Caliphate ruled from Wall Street. Didn’t quite turn out that way did it?
They really believe if you stir shit long enough, it becomes a smooth, creamy, aromatic chocolate worth billions of dollars.

Start up another IRAQ !!!!
