So then why do you have a problem with Obama using drones? It seems like you'd like that...you've never cared about who gets killed....just bomb and shoot...ask questions later right? As far as mainstream...I don't care to be...mainstream is better known as 'lower common denominator' or 'low hanging fruit.' Again, I'd ask you why you have a problem with Obama using drones but you're cool with what just went down? But then again...I know you don't answer other people's questions...you just demand that others answer yours.

I don't give a fuck about Syria or Syrians.

I believe you.

If you really feel America is no better than Assad or Putin, maybe you should take off the blinders and experience the Middle East first hand.  I know a nice little coffee shop in Mosul you can take the wife and kid too. I'm sure you'd have no problem taking them there since America is no different than Syria or Iraq. I mean, we launched sarin gas against our own people last year too.

That's not exactly the point...you are always so prone to make everything a comparison. The US is better....America is better....

You have a nationalistic pride that compels you to always have to say...."see....America is better because...." I"ll let you fill in the blank.


I don't have a problem with any of Obama's drone strikes, save the one he used to directly and intentionally kill a US citizen - a war crime. I'm simply pointing out how you never bitched when Barry was in charge and how the war hawk Clinton would have had tanks in Damascus by now.

I said I was opposed to Trump's actions, but don't let the fact we agree on this stop you from conjuring up some neo-con image of me praying for war.

I love this arguments built on your assumptions of how people think, or what they don't say. So lame. You're a lame.


Haha. Good ol' SLC.    I know neither you or Mitch have ever lived outside the US. Your only life experience is what smarter, braver men have built while your uneducated ass buys into every two bit conspiracy.

But please, tell me how your youth of snorting coke and ripping people off has made you remotely aware of what life is like outside the bubble.

I'm going to go eat another cheeseburger and kneel before the altar of Trump. 

Oh yea, answer the fucking question.

14 14 14 oh the hypocrisy...I'm drowning in it....keep waving that red, white and blue though....

Killing your own citizens with chemical weapons is a violation of Geneva.  Your boy claimed that all of the chemical weapons were gone, remember?  If you don't understand the definition of terrorism or understand why we're the good guys, that's a fundamental lack of knowledge on your part.

I guarantee you someone over there is posting on a message board right now saying the exact same thing...one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter...people like you won't be happy until we have a WWIII. The way you show moral superiority is by killing those you deem morally inferior....good one.

I don't give a fuck about Syria or Syrians.  If we want to launch missles to stop Assad killing children, ok. I don't see a point to this latest excursion, and in no way support ground forces to remove Assad. I don't want them in my country asking for a handout while they harass and terrorize my fellow citizens. If the earth opened up and Syria fell into hades, I wouldn't lose a wink of sleep.

Obama`s pussyfooting caused carnage that is wreaking havoc in Syria today. This is the kind of strong and firm leadership U.S. allies had been missing for the past 8 years.

yet another one who thinks "leadership" is just blowing up shit with guns and missiles. No wonder this country is full of knuckle draggers who elected a knuckle dragger.

Eventually...somehow, some way....there will be retaliation and you'll be the same mutherfucker saying "look at those terrorists!!!"

Because when we do it....we're on the side of God....but when they do it....they're terrorists....

and the perpetual cycle of jack assery continues forever...but hey...isn't it fun blowing off the heads of people we don't like?

What if Assad retaliates, or tells us to fuck off?  What if Russia refuses to move and places Russian troops in Damascus around the palace?

#3017 Re: The Garden » US Politics Thread » 475 weeks ago

I hope it's only an air strike.   I don't know what it accomplished if our new goal is to oust Assad. We're not going to occupy the country, so how do you prevent radicals from gaining control?

Kill ISIS, then use diplomacy and sanctions to force a replacement.

#3018 Re: The Garden » US Politics Thread » 475 weeks ago

And we've now attacked the Assad regime. I think this is a mistake, as our primary emphasis should be ISIS, not the guy trying to wipe them out. I'll be interested to see how many people who feel this is appropriate and if they're willing to head to the recruiting office to risk their life for Syrian lives.

I expect the BWOB to meet with Arya and head to Winterfell.  Outside of some minor skirmishes to clean up the outlying political conflict, I don't see a whole lot of time being dedicated to the political infighting.  Dany has her Dragons and 50k Dothraki.  There's not an army in the 7 kingdoms that can put up much of a fight.

I wonder why he did that.

I agree it was odd. For now they're just saying it was a choice/it was only temporary anyway. I'm sure something will come out. Personally I think Bannon & Priebus are out & he's putting Jared & Ivanka in their place. Otherwise it's probably a pre-emptive dismissal based upon the intel known to them.


That's my biggest gripe and I wish more Republican leaders would speak out on this.  It was one thing for Kennedy to put his brother who was well qualified as his AG - that position had to be approved by the Senate.  Trump putting his family in senior positions is something out of a third world dictator.  I'm not comfortable with it and I wish someone would advise him that isolating yourself with similar opinions isn't how progress is made.
