It's still not impossible. <br /><br />How many republicans have been calling for ground forces so far?<br /><br />At least calling Obama an amateur is more polite way to provoke him than calling him chicken, although I'd go more with the second than the first.<br /><br />Who wants to end his presidency by starting World War III against a billion Muslims?<br /><br />Hillary however, is ready to step up to the plate and then she'll have 8 years to clean up the world, if we're patient enough for the lame duck to leave.<br /><br />On local sad news I just heard that my friend's cousin committed suicide this week. He was 27, a Marine. I might have met him, but didn't know him. Still that might be the closest I've come to a military death, unless you count cancer from smoking. Not even my parent or grandparent sibling generations had any combat deaths in WW2, Korea or Vietnam.<br />http://www.startribune.com/obituaries/detail/110629/?fullname=william-macgregor-shaw<br /><br />I helped out at a Veteran's day 5k race last week, and one of the volunteers helps soldiers adjust back to civilian life. I've never talked politics with him. <br /><br />We're just there to keep people physically active, not decide which presidential candidates are amateurs and which are the real deal.Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-48628353755186749712015-11-19T09:30:51.885-08:002015-11-19T09:30:51.885-08:00'War on Terror' is a problematic term.
...'War on Terror' is a problematic term. <br /><br />When terror is used on France or US, of course the West fights it. <br /><br />But when terrorists attack Assad(hated by the US and Israel), there is a tendency to watch 'barbarians fight barbarians'. <br /><br />When NATO took out Gaddafi, US even sided with terrorist elements and called them 'freedom fighters' and 'democracy activists'. <br />And when they moved to Syria to blow things up, the West idly watched as Assad's regime was threatened. <br /><br />So, War on Terror can easily become War with Terror. <br /><br />US policy is messed up because it wants to fight terror against the West but blithely tolerates terror against its perceived enemies. But ISIS that is attacking Assad today could attack Europe or US tomorrow. <br /><br />priss rulesnoreply@blogger.com
