Three things:
1. Afghanistan is about killing the mothers who did 9/11.
2. Iraq was not about 9/11 and it totally fu*ked us
3. I just ticked 72 MPG in my wife's Prius C on a trip. Got a new high efficiency furnace and new insulation and cut my gas bill in half! Fu*k big oil.

Because they can without any reason to have any fear.

Exclusive: Putin Halts All Talks With White House

As new U.S. sanctions against Russia loom, the Kremlin has shut down—at least for now—intensive high level communications between top U.S. and Russian officials.

For the rest~

Short of massing troops on the border, don't know what else you expect to do? Banking sanctions will bring them to their knees. Just wait till those rich Russians can't move money. They won't be too happy.

Ah, but it is not instant blood. The chicken-hawks want to kill some more Russians so much they don't care if they kill a few thousand more Americans.

President Obama should install John Bolton and Paul Wolfowitz as "Special Envoys to the Ukraine" and then let 'em give a few speeches.

Bolton and Wolfowitz, crazy as they are, would scare the sh*t outta Vlad. He'd know that those two fruitcakes ARE crazy enough to light 'em up.

For that matter, Mikey would do as well in that role, although he'd do it from afar, from his disability-funded easy chair.

The media-government-industrial military complex are beating the war drums as hard as they did after 911. I am afraid that we will be heading back into more dead US soldiers.

Sadly, Obama could have just dropped a few bombs at the Syrian border when ISIS was massing a few months ago. Now we may have to partner with Asad instead of attacking him. What a crazy foreign policy.

Shouldn't we be, at least by air? ISIS/L is a far bigger, better-funded, better organized, more militarized, more insane, greater threat to the U.S. than Al Qaeda ever was. Does driving crucifixes into the throats of babies spark ANYTHING in you? Draining all the blood of a struggling mother into a bowl until she dies? Small children's heads being sawed off? All because they were not Muslims? Do you really think anything short of annihilation will stop these subhumans from nuking the U.S. at their first opportunity?

Obama's answer to ISIS's threat to decapitate another journalist if we don't stop the air attacks should have been an immediate strike on every ISIS target in the world ... as Hillary promised in the debates.

Yes, Obama could have decimated ISIS at the border, but that would have involved planning, executing, and admitting how badly he managed the war and its forfeiture.

It's like we're living in pre-911 all over again, will this administration learn any lessons from that period in the past?
I shudder to think not.

As our sec. of defense said, "get ready".

This is one of the most pleasant pictures at
http://www.catholic.org/news/international/middle_east/story.php?id=56481&wf=rsscol .
It's a "Before" picture; you don't want to see the many "After" pictures at that and other sites.



Now tell us this group isn't worth some serious ass-kicking.
