Where will it end?
Shall we referee all uprisings and make sure that one side doesn't have advantage over the other?
Would the same "leveling" occur in our own nation should there be an uprising?
Of course the recipients of our firepower are grateful providing they are on the side being protected.......but where do we have the right to be the benevolent dictator over other nations?

hard to argue that

Here's one of our new friends...



Now there's an upgrade

I know you're smart enough to know the difference...so you must be obfuscating again.

In case #1, they weren't weary of schit...we went there and told them "this is how it's going to be, get out of the way or get shot"...then shot a bunch of them anyway, even ones that did try to get out of the way.

In case #2, they started the process themselves...they were weary, they were oppressed, and they asked for help...we, along with a UN mandate and many friends, gave the help they were asking for.

The fact that the words sound similar doesn't in any way make the contexts remotely similar.

But you knew that...

Fish on...

It's also important to have oil in order to get noticed.
Once you're noticed, then you can have sh!t blown up.

"We are not providing close air support for the Libyan rebels. Our mission is to protect civilians from slaughter by Gaddafi's troops. "
(or similar)

It was reported today that A10's and AC130's are flying missions over Libya. These are our best fixed wing aircraft in the inventory for very close air support of ground troops.

Could be that we only draw 3% from the Libyan oil reserves, but if Europe's supply gets cut off, the Euros would have to draw from another region. Maybe one of our honey holes.

Thanks.
Jus' tryin' to keep up with Duc

seems almost everyone knows KK's M.O.

Take your complaints about posts, personal attacks and insults to Dave Vedder....even though he's close buds with KayKay he won't put up with that kind'a crap.

He's the new self appointed PP PC PoPo.

Come on Kay...do you think I really feel the way you think you make me feel about you?

New Mod?...JFC.....

Parker passes the sniff test.....

Parker didn't need his sleep, anyway.

If there weren't so many whiny-asses bitches around, paker wouldn't need to moderate sh!t.

Too bad some f'n baby is always whining about something.

I could be a mod. I'd just set fire to any f'n whiners until they had all been eradicated.

I ain't under nobody's control...it's just that my mod technique is "don't let anyone get away with anything you wouldn't do"...which, in effect, means don't moderate at all...I just get the cool green colored name, and instill unnecessary fear in the idiots here.

Fish on...

Todd

i'm sure glad i don't fall under the catagory of whinyass.

I honestly don't care what any of you all say over here on the darkside. Lord help me if I ever have to come over here to moderate. I'm not even too sure what one would have to say to get to that level!

It's the darkside, forchristsake!!!!

Just keep the childish crap over here and off the main boards and all is cool by me.

Todd, on the other hand - no guarantees as to what he'll moderator over here!

+ 1,000. . . .
Well said Stam ! !

Holy sh!t.............my face is in for some punishment.

There is psycological bullying as well as physical bullying.

this a true example of a MITG... moronic internet tough guy. kaykay is childish in his moronic replys, i fully expect any day now he'll begin using the term "poopyhead". with few "meaners" and i know you are but what am i? replys.

my

i don't care what he or whoever says. it's the childish manor that is quite annoying. i find kaykay's repetitive manor the same as dora the explorer. my 5 year old watches this and other nick shows, it's the same everyday. i lump all kaykay replys as kindegarten material...

I punch myself after spending time on the dark side.....does that count?

I'm telling Parker that you're being mean to me...

That was a solid Zzzzzzzzzzzzing by ol' stampa.

+1 good take. I think that is why we are all here

You really can't call KayKay an a$$hole. It gives a$$holes a bad rap, since they actually perform a useful function. He's more like a hemorrhoid on the body of humanity. He has no function other than irritation.

I would think that someone would want to give Stam a dollar for a look at one of those man-boobs.

With all the insults flying around I thought I should throw in a compliment....

Crap, they're pulling out the charts.
It's getting ugly.

Hankster is usually good for a laugh or two, but no, not today. Today he foists charts upon us. Direct-Drive however, is adding content value to this website to beat the band, with Avatars and cool airplanes. The A-10 has always been a confounding bird to me though. I liken it to a helicopter; it can't really fly. It just beats the air into submission.

But what is this thread about? Oh yeah, Obama. Obama is disappointing me on several levels. He is way too much like Bush in a number of ways, which leads me to believe that I could actually be a pretty darn good president. I'm don't make a fool of myself like Bush did; I don't need a teleprompter to speak intelligently like Obama seems to; and I can balance my checkbook. See, I'm over the major hurdles already.

Once you reach "the" age you are supposed to be on a ten year a$$hole maintenance plan.

Thanks for noticing Hank. But please, let's not confuse typing with speaking. However, after a few drinks I may speak about like I type.

Hey, listen up all you numbnuts. Ya' gotta' be tough to get old. It ain't for sissies. I'm wearing one set of reading glasses as I type this. Got another in my brief case, two sets in the car, one on the kitchen bar, one at my fly tying table, one on my fishing hat, one on the night stand, etc., etc.

My wife perpetually has the wrong pair on her face.

Conversation usually goes something like this: "Honey, look at that bird,coyote,bobcat,beaver....whatever!"

"I have to get my other glasses."

"Hurry!"

"OK..... where is it?"

"Gone."

Poor vision, like poor hearing, really steals alot of fun out of life.

Oh, boy. We've morphed from "Benevolent O" to "chirpies".

Lock and Load.....................................................POW!!
