wow, someone please get this guy a snickers bar or something. Nice job

The real problem, is that tactics are being discussed openly in Congress, and decisions on tactics are being set in stone by Congress, and Congress is not (according to the Constitution) in the business of conducting war.

Fighting a war, any war, through polls, through Congress, is contrary to what was designed in our Constitution. Warfare is an Executive decision. If Congress doesn’t “like” a particular war…then cut off ALL funding. That is their job.

In the meantime, having a Biden, or an Obama, or a Pelosi or Reid or Kerry, or any member of Congress establishing tactical decisions does only one thing…it enables an enemy, it loses wars. Congress as Fifth Column.

Jay Leno, mouth farter, let it slip out that way last night.

Biden would be wearing a pair of pink boxers.

Would be? Is.

He can’t wait to be asked which he wears, boxers or briefs, so he can show us all and tell us the price he paid and which store, etc.

Biggest laugher from Biden: “In recent days, we’ve once again seen the consequences of this neglect with Russia’s challenge to the free and democratic country of Georgia. Barack Obama and I will end this neglect. We will hold Russia accountable for its actions, and we’ll help the people of Georgia rebuild.”

Please elaborate, Silk Tiger.

His surname as a verb:

I’m always curious about origination, and wondering where the name “Biden” traced from Ireland as Gaelic? It’s an English/German surname. But then, St.Patrick was English, escaped from slavery in Ireland, returned as a “Christian” missionary. I’m not putting down St. Patrick. But the Celts had Christian monasteries before the Roman Catholics overtook the Emerald Isle.

Back to Biden the politician, he’s not true to his name unless the “faithful” no longer applies to being Catholic, but to being a Marxist DNC puppet.

“Anything for more.”
politician’s creed

“That kind of detail is above my pay grade, but not my gravitas grade.”

True, BUT I think the mockery stems from the fact that the tanks are not the most effective weapon in a CoIn conflict and require massive infantry support in an urban warfare environment.

The crisis we face as a nation is that exerting our will in low-intensity conflict means the use of light infantry or dismounted Mech Inf. This invariably leads to higher casualties than a full blown fight ala GW1. The “Mother Sheehans” and press undermine our national will over a casualty level we faced on single days in WW2.

ergo can we support the needed ops to win Low Intensity Conflicts unless there is a donk in the Oval Office?

The fourth estate is a fifth column.

You’ll get no argument from me on what you have said.

Broadly speaking, I don’t believe this current generation has the stomach for a protracted war. The hard core anti-war groups like Code Pink, (who oppose any military action initiated by a Republican president but were no where to be found when Clinton was bombing the Balkans or abandoning US troops in Somalia) along with their fellow travelers, (the MSM) make that impossible through their manipulation of public opinion.

If Obama were female he would be a card carrying member of Code Pink decked out in full regalia. Biden would be wearing a pair of pink boxers.

I’m the only one around here who holds both candidates accountable for unacceptable verbal fu*k ups.

I can see that drywall is still not letting reality get in the way of a good rant.

Sorry to mislead you guys…I made up the quote. I was going for absurdity.

So what if Joey B. doesn’t really have any working knowledge of military orders of battle…

He’s got Gravitas, man!

In addition to being RAAAAAACISTS, it’s becoming clear that everyone who reads this site are also gaffe-ists and gravitas-ists as well!

The United States was at peace with that nation organization of community activists and cultural diplomats and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with the government and its emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific.”
