quade 4 #2 December 12, 2012 QuoteYep. Our allies don't trust us because we fucked them over in the last 12 years, but make no mistake, there isn't a country on the planet who doesn't fear what the US could potentially do to them. None of them are that stupid. Even the really stupid ones.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It sure wasn't Bush who helped fund the Iron Dome missile defense, that was just used very successfully in Israel. When Bush said no, Obama said yes. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324712504578136931078468210.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although I was not there, I could almost picture Bin Laudins face before he was shot: Oops, got me. Passive and fearless. It's already been reported he didn't put up a fight.

billvon 3,099 #22 December 14, 2012 > I have friends who have told me they will no longer associate with anyone > who supported BHO. Given that the majority of voters supported him, that's a lot of people they won't associate with. Perhaps they could show the courage of their convictions and leave the country; tens of thousands of secessionists wanted to do just that, and we'd be better off as a country if we ditched the people who really don't want to associate with people here. I have a feeling, though, that such people are long on emotion and short on integrity; they'd probably rather just stay and bitch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skypuppy 1 #23 December 14, 2012 hmmm. seems to me you're assuming a much bigger majority than it was. typical liberal arrogance to suggest they leave the country because you happened to win the election.If some old guy can do it then obviously it can't be very extreme.
