Anyone watching the debates tonight?

Quote from insider trading:

Are you still in grade school?You should have been taught long ago not to make childish insults because you disagree with someone

IT it's pretty SERIOUS stuff to disagree on. Pakistan isn't some little outpost like broken down Iraq. These guys could fight us toe to toe for YEARS.

Obama tried to shore up European support behind his bomb Pakistan strategy. It fell on deaf ears. Ain't NO ONE who wants to get involved in that.

Not to mention how many crazy Pakistanis here in the U.S? A million? I'd hate have a few thousand of them on the terror warpath avenging our bombing of their homeland. This Bin Laden revenge thing is NOT in our national interests. And I repeat: None of us even know if he's still alive.
 
For once I want to check in on a neutral blog (if such a thing exists). Anyone following a decent blog discussion right now? (Please, no extremist crap from either side)

I've tried to class up the joint, but that is just ET, where childish behavior is the norm.
 
Quote from omegapoint:

If it costs this much to have what amounts to a guerilla war with insurgents in Iraq then what might it cost to have "something" with Russia or Iran? Russia must know they can do what they want unchallenged since they're aware of popular sentiment on it here. This greatest country in the world and everyone else is by comparison just on our turf is not a smart way of going into the 21st century. This country has to start producing more than paper pushing business graduates.

There is a wonderful principle known as balance of power. Projection of power beyond your (natural) borders is an ever more expensive endeavour.

Russia while in many ways a backward country has a lot of nukes. It can't be treated the same as you would Kazakhstan. So Condi running around like a headless chicken say how she will "punish" russia was utterly moronic. Russia is a petro state which while in the long run is bad for the time being it means it is self sufficient. US has no business caring about Ukraine or S Ossetia it is expensive and foolish and most importantly unsustainable. Don't you think it looks funny how US is sending 1billion to Saakashvili and borrowing it from chinese while US banking system is under sever stress?
 
I repeat for those who are Past Insanity, Obama said he would go into Pakistan to get Bin Laden if we knew where he was and if Pakistan was unable to do the job.

Do you understand what a conditional statement is?

Quote from JA_LDP:

all the news channels are saying mccain won by a landslide.

Are you serious? I watched a few minutes of the summary on CBS afterward and Bob Schieffer said no one really delivered a knockout punch, and both did well. That's how I saw it too, but I think Obama was the "winner", if you can call it that.
 
Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:

Let me this question:

Say you were going to hire an employee.

Age is not supposed to be a factor, but you find out the guy is 72 years old and, has cancer (in remission) and war injuries that impact his physical mobility...

The job you are hiring for require the ability to make quick and decisive decision, work extremely long hours, have good interpersonal skills, be able to negotiate between emotional employees to a compromise not blow you temper easily but always remain calm and even tempered, and in the interview the applicant talks a lot about what he did 35 years ago, who he worked for 20 years ago...but mentioned nothing much about the boss he he agreed with 90% of the time (Bush in this case, as leader of the republican party) over nearly the past 8 years...

Would you hire him?

Hell No

The FAA would no longer allow Mccain to fly planes do to his age,(although with 2 crashes,hitting power lines and being shot down he should no longer be flying)there needs to be somebody to stop this senile old mad man from running for president
 
Jon this is why I don't respect your opinions. We are ALREADY bombing inside Pakistan and Pakistan has ALREADY retaliated. Christ if you don't know what's going on then just don't comment. You come like a dumb snot nosed kid.

Quote from jonbig04:

Obama is simply recognizing that the war on terror is supposed to be against al quaeda NOT iraq, so if pakistan is sponsoring them thats an INTERNATIONAL issue that we need to recognize as opposed to simply focusing only in Iraq.

BTW your article says "military strikes"...do you think if we would, as our first choice, drop bombs all over the place in pakistan? No there's something called covert operations. But who cares, the point is that the war is on terror and we should focus on terrorists.
