What everyone should take away from this, is that our enemy is smarter than we give them credit for.

We need to stop underestimating people.

Who's us, does Canada have a drone program? I'll be damned.

Be nice if we could target it with a smart bomb.

Ya know, I never thought much about Canada until I discovered the inner webs. I pretty much figured they just did their thing, and probably felt pretty good about their geographical location. Seems now though, that their liberals worry more about America than most Americans do. Damn shame I tell ya.

Man Rob, I would totally agree we some reform in this country. I guess I'm just a dinosaur though, and would like things to be the way they were before everything got all F'd up. Dems-GOP, they are all crooks, and I have zero faith in either party getting us out of this jam we find ourselves in at present. When you have to negotiate for three months, to roll back one day's worth of spending, it's probably too late for reform.

"Things" have ALWAYS been fucked up in one way or another. That's the problem, too many yahoos in this country yearn for a idyllic time that never existed, and keep trying to go back. Why? What is up with this irrational desire to rediscover why "things" changed in the first place? What is it, some form of societal sado-masochism?

Maybe we will get lucky and Dr. No and Agent Orange will lose in their primaries, I know there are going to be some changes around these parts.

As always, we get sucked into every stupid conflict the US takes on. One way or another.
