  1. Anyone know of any longer wars, other than those from five hundred years ago? coming on 16 years of bombing a third world ruined country full of paupers. The original explanation was to get Bin Laden. Then, it changed to getting the Taliban. Who knows what the hell it is now.
  2. For several years before that, CIA documents show, U.S. officials were aware that Iraq had been using chemical weapons in its long war against neighboring Iran and likely would again. That's just what happened, according to Foreign Policy: "The Iraqis used mustard gas and sarin prior to four major offensives in early 1988 that relied on U.S. satellite imagery, maps, and other intelligence. These attacks helped to tilt the war in Iraq's favor and bring Iran to the negotiating table, and they ensured that the Reagan administration's long-standing policy of securing an Iraqi victory would succeed." It's different when we do it.
  3. Blue Jackets goalie did not look that good. Senators Bruins game was good, but both teams fair bit of dump and chase, and choking defence. Jets style is much more fun to watch. In fact watching a bit of these games, I realize the Jets are close to being really good.
  4. Bush liked Assad. Wonder what happened? Wikipedia has a good article about US messing around in Syria..... coups, coup plots, CIA skullduggery, going right back to Syrian independence in the forties. Rendition for torture. With our cooperation, the Americans sent an innocent Canadian there for horrendous torture.
  5. Saw Don Rickles (as a guest) take over the tonight show from Johnny . went on and on. all over the stage. eyes bugging out, insulting the audience and "John" Johnny laughing his ass off. then Rickles pretending he thought he went too far, grovelling and begging for forgiveness. kissing Johnny's hand crawling on the floor.... lol. Charlie Murphy, not in the same league but..... also very funny. Some of his Hollywood stories were amazing. Chappelle's show was one of the funniest mordantest things ever on tv. blind Black KKK member.....
  6. Da! This is clearly the explanation. Nyet! to Taman. Pinball.... no.
  7. This is amazing. But unsurprising. When the Americans want to bomb and invade a country, they always go for the Hitler comparison. Sadaam was hitler, gadaffi was hitler; Probably some leader of Iran is probably called Hitler; How can so and so not be bombed? He's as bad as Hitler. Bascically this dolt Spicer just went a step farther and said, assad is worse than hitler. His biggest problem is that he really is bad at bafflegab. It's not easy, and he's just not smart enough to do it properly. Wouldn't surprise me to learn that he was a holocaust denier, nor would it surprise me to learn that he has never heard of the holocaust. Or anything in between. A pack of dimwits. also also, Bush was called Hitler. If America was a person, the non American adults would be confiscating the nukes.
  8. funny American names in japanese video baseball game.... Bobson Dugnutt.....
  9. I don't have any idea, about this. Not a clue. Surprised me though, cause a lot of hockey fans admire Sutter as a coach.
  10. 1. I didn't tell you that. I don't know if Russia hacked the US election. I don't know if Trump conspired with the Russians to subvert American election process. I would not be surprised in the least if he did. 2. There is an investigation going on, amongst other things, of Russian hacking, in fact two of them. You can't see it, cause it's ongoing. When it's done, the investigators will do a report, which will tell you what they concluded.
  11. It's possible I was somewhat off on my sharks win over oilers prediction.
  12. Still waiting for the investigation. Or some actual evidence. Or some proof of some sort. oh right, don't need those do we. But who would ever doubt Trump? He's been up front and honest about everything so far. Getting nervous yet?
  13. did not know that about sharks/oilers. should be a good series then I would like to see a new team win. not Hawks, not Penguins,
  14. don't think the oilers can beat the sharks. blues will beat wild hope bluejackets beat penguins.... tired of blackhawks want them to lose
  15. Yemen is the poorest country in the world. Somalia not much better. The poorer the country, the more likely the USA will bomb you.
  16. Criticising a teammate ......... very bad to do that publicly. I'm sure he'd like to have that back.
  17. Blake Wheeler seems to think tanking is not a good idea.
  18. Definitely both are illegal. Trump, under American, and International Law. All of the unilateral acts of war, by Russia, China, Israel, Pakistan, are illegal, without authorization of the UN. That's why Bush and Blair tried so hard to get a UN authorization for the invasion of Iraq. And did not get one. Nobody in authority seems to care much though. Till they do.
  19. Some people really do want a third world war.
  20. Never let the truth get in the way of a good opportunity to make war. Everything Trump does is wrong, except when he decides to bomb Syria.
