"Legally" you can say anything you want. Get you children on the board and then we'll listen.

As for issues back home, why "hyperventilate" here when most of you don't give a rat's butt about what happens north of the border?

And at least Prime Minister Harper has a pair. ;)

Frankly I didn't even know which commonwealth country you were from...and I knew we were carrying your mail.

And ummm...yeah...he's a real man, that prime minister of the 51st state.

George W. Bush is my kind of war hero. Puts Kerry to shame.

Kerry's problem was his betrayal of an entire generation of GIs when he showed up (out of uniform, btw) to give his famous "jen jis kahn" testimony before the Senate. His service in Vietnam was honorable (we'll just have to give him a pass for blaming Nixon for sending him to Cambodia, several months before Nixon took the oath). Plus, the hypocrisy of putting what he did in his 20s front and center in a campaign for President. First words out of his mouth the night he accepted the nomination: "John Kerry reporting for duty." The guy had spent multiple terms in the senate. Maybe we should consider that first.

Bush served honorably in the Texas Air Guard. My guess is you'd wet yourself at the simplest maneuver required of the pilot of a single seat jet fighter. Assuming you could cut it to become a fighter pilot in the first place, which I doubt.

How's the median annual income in Latvia looking these days? Still in the < 10,000 € range? I hear Riga has a great art district, though.

Frankly, I don't even know *** you're smoking, but when you have something sensible to say, feel free to exercise your 1st Amendment right. :p

The confirmation bias is strong with this one.
 
Re: The Global War on Terror 5.0: Putin on the Risk

Opie has long had a crush on George W Bush, hence his "Bush served honorably in the National Guard" even though he was off working on a political campaign during most of his supposed service time. :rolleyes: Of course Opie also thought we'd be greeted as liberators in Iraq, so consider the source....:D

Of course we do, but they don't. There is a personality type that regards any sort of thinking and planning as dilatory and weak. That type just doesn't learn, ever. To them, every negotiation is Munich and every peace is Dolchstoßlegende. Maybe they just don't have emotional breadth to see the world as any more complicated than that -- too many beratings from their Great Santini fathers, or something -- but they despise thinking and worship blind violence.

That personality type has come to power here just once, in 2000. When it did, it crippled US interests in just a few years. The electorate's main job, independent of all the secondary left/right wrangling, is to make sure that never happens again.

Huh. Some times you seem so reasonable. Other times you trot out such nonsense. :confused:
 
Re: The Global War on Terror 5.0: Putin on the Risk

Who'd have expected France to have a spine while the US lacks one??

Maybe the world really is spinning out of control!

France is prepared to join an international coalition to fight Islamic State militants in Iraq, French President François Hollande said Friday, adding that any military action by the West requires the backing of an Iraqi government.

Mr. Hollande said Iraq needs to form a new government and request France's military assistance before he orders any operations.

"France is ready to take action provided there's the political framework and respect for international law," Mr. Hollande said.

Next we'll hear from the apologists how this really was part of a very clever plan all along, eh?

When you post stuff like this, are you at all aware of how aptly it also applies to your own Dear Leader? The current President is blaming the world for being faulty: he has pretty much said flat out that there is something wrong with the world because it is not behaving in the manner in which he thinks it should be.

ISIS is beheading Americans because we are fighting them. Currently fighting them is doing more than simply being "prepared" to fight them. What is it about this that you don't understand?
