Oh here we go with the exaggerrations. Killing a foreign general entitles the other nation to strike back. Rightfully so in some ways. Leading to war. Killing a leader of Al-Qaeda would not. Big difference.

Ok Ill bite, who was the American citizen Obama had killed on foreign soil?


And as Axl S stated, theres a big difference between killing a rogue independant  terrorist versus killing a state official. Its like killing Donald Rumsfeld vs killing the Unibomber or the Bundy ranch folks.

New decade, few days late but what would you say are the best releases of the 2010s?   Movies, songs, TV, albums, books, car?  Anything that comes to mind.

Mine, with a mix of favorite &/or popularity:
TV show - Game of Thrones or Walking Dead. Breaking Bad was great but only half of it took place in this decade, otherwise, that's a pretty tough fight.
Movie - That's tough, I don't think there was one that blew us away. The Departed, or Saving Private Ryan type. I might go with The Force Awakens, even tho it had alot of flaws, it just set records & ultimately lived up to the hype. (Personally I think I like Rogue One better as a standalone movie).  Wolf Of wall Street was great, and I liked Flight alot.
Song - Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran I guess. Pure popularity, Despacito.
Album - That's really tough, I don't follow them or buy them. Totally a pop star decade, I might go Taylor Swifts from 2016ish when she had a ton of hits. Someone said Fun. 2012 album was good, although I'm not sure it was best of decade good. Some Nights held up really well as a song.
Car - Tesla. I do like Dodge Challengers alot tho.
App - Pokemon go knocked it out of the park that one summer, 2017?. Instagram is probably the more popular social media, although I just don't dig it. Uber is probably the one that changed society the most.

Obama took out a foreign General?

#945 Re: The Garden » US Politics Thread » 331 weeks ago

So the reason this administration went ahead without Congressional approval was that the 2002 approval to topple Hussein gave them blanket coverage to do what they want in Iraq.

Still.

17 years later.

This was confirmed by 2 Republican Senators.

I don't wanna say one should give fair warning, heaven forbid all the Repubs come at me with zingers like 'Lead From Behind' and "Flip-Flop', however Bin Laden was a known, and announced target. DOA for years. To just go in and bomb a dude out either A. You better be ready to state specifically what that dude did, or B. You better be ready for massive retaliation.

We're been at odds with Iran for years. Why'd we just go in & wipe out one of their generals now?  What 'threat' was this guy onto. The public is asking & has a right to know.

#947 Re: The Garden » US Politics Thread » 332 weeks ago

I think we killed this guy by mistake.  Probably thought it was a caravan of more protesters, or we had bad intel, but it totally sounds like we're making up reasons we killed someone we weren't planning on killing.

They came back, but again blew it a bit in OT.  Good season, bummer to have gone out like that, almost won.

#949 Re: The Garden » NFL 2019 » 332 weeks ago

Buffalo shit the bed.

#950 Re: The Sunset Strip » Hella Mega Tour - Green Day / Fall Out Boy / Weezer » 332 weeks ago

I'd consider it. Never saw Green Day tho Id bet they do put on a solid show  Saw Weezer w/Foo Fighters back around 06-07. Both were great live.
