Or hanging from a lamp post a-la-Mussolini.

Really? I find your sense of humor lacking. I guess you're just the stupid blowhard asshole you posts imply.

I'm a fair man.

Find me one case where someone other than a right winger slips up and refers to Obama as "Osama". Just one, and I'll drop the issue.

You have the whole internet to look for one.

You might want to start with Biden, he's always tripping up.

Misdirected reply on your part Tom. Read the bolded part of the quote and then my response.

First things first.

You need to clear your name on the Obama/Osama slip.

That's the big one.

If you can do that, I'll drop the Popi Bush thing too.

But act fast.

I'm only holding this offer open for 24 hours.

I was young and dumb, but not that young and dumb.

Blaming Nixon for Vietnam is like blaming Obama for Iraq.

Your first comment is an interesting one. I often wonder, had Kennedy not been murdered, what would have happened over the rest of his time in office, and what would have been his legacy. He had bought into the "domino" theory as far as I could tell, and I suspect he would have behaved much the same as Johnson did. It wouldn't have been pretty, and probably would have soured me on American politics even worse than Johnson and Nixon did.

Sure looks like Maliki and his henchmen are in need of a reality check. They're out.

I think it's more likely that the MID ordered the hit on Kennedy because they knew he wouldn't escalate the war.

Hopefully the new prime minister will be able to rally the troops and go on the offensive against ISIS with our airpower in support. Bagdad is the prize that ISIS is fighting for. Establishing the Arab Caliphate there would be a major military and symbolic victory. If the insurgency reaches Bagdad things will get very ugly. Bagdad could become the battleground for a Sunni/Shia showdown. Imagine how many sides there would be in the battle and how fluid the alliance picture would be.

Al-Baghdadi is trying to pull a Saladin. He needs a Hellfire enema.

Oops, did I really just post that?
