US fighter jet crashes during Libya mission

Wasn't it just last week when we hollered and jeered at how lousy Libyan pilots were when they missed the bomb target by miles? At least their planes didn't get shot down.

Well, fortunately, those US pilots ejected safely.
 
Why do we need combat pilots? Can't we light their skys up with unmanned bombers? Let our men sit in simulators in the hangars of Oklahoma?
 
why is this a big deal?

we will print more money or issue more bonds

It is free money, USA will never bankrupt due to war expenses as long as investors all around the world believes USD has value

That is the key point
 
it will turn into a big deal if any pilots get captured alive...this will turn from a "no fly zone" mission to who knows.

"...armies running through streets of pain
waving wine bottles
bayoneting and fucking everyone

or an old guy in a cheap quiet room
with a photograph of Marilyn Monroe.

there is a loneliness in this world so great
that you can see it in the slow movement of
a clock’s hands.

there is a loneliness in this world so great
that you can see it in blinking neon
in Vegas, in Baltimore, in Munich.

people are tired
strafed by life
mutilated either by love or no
love.

we don’t need new governments
new revolutions
we don’t need new men
new women
we don’t need new ways
we just need to care.

people are not good to each other
one on one.
people are just not good to each other.

we are afraid.
we think that hatred signifies
strength.
that punishment is
love.

what we need is less false education
what we need are fewer rules
fewer police
and more good teachers...."
