A man was washed up on a beach after a shipwreck. Only a sheep and a sheepdog were washed up with him. After looking around, he realized they were stranded on a deserted island. After being there awhile, he got into the habit of taking his two animal companions to the beach every evening to watch the sunset. One particular evening, the sky was a fiery red with beautiful cirrus clouds. The breeze was warm and gentle - a perfect night for romance. As they sat there, the sheep started looking better and better to the lonely man. Soon, he leaned over to the sheep and put his arm around it. But the sheepdog, ever protective of the sheep, growled fiercely until the man took his arm from around the sheep. After that, the three of them continued to enjoy the sunsets together, but there was no more cuddling. A few weeks passed by and lo and behold, there was another shipwreck. The only survivor was Hillary Clinton. That evening, the man brought Hillary to the evening beach ritual. It was another beautiful evening - red sky, cirrus clouds, a warm and gentle breeze. Perfect for a night of romance. Pretty soon, the man started to get those "feelings" again. He fought the urges as long as he could but he finally gave in and leaned over to Hillary and told her he hadn't had sex for months. Hillary batted her eyelashes and asked if there was anything she could do for him. He said, "take the dog for a walk." Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

So how do you know OBL went into the ocean? You got pictures? That's pure white house propaganda. He's driving a taxi in LA, and starting fires on the weekends. With all his new found wealth, he's a busy man keeping up with 4 more wives. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

I doubt this guy is even considered drone-worthy. He's full on media circus because of the embarrassment factor, but that's probably about it. Due to the embarrassment he has caused the US govt, and to make an example out of him, I would not be a bit surprised if a clandestine operation was sent into Ecuador to extract him. I would be more surprised if it was *not* attempted. Now he says, "he only took the job to get state secrets". No doubt they are after him; unless Bill Clinton gives him a pardon. http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/Snowden-secrets-job-leak/2013/06/25/id/511720?s=al&promo_code=13F23-1 Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

This is pretty rough, but it's the real deal. Until the U.S. public recognizes what is actually happening in that part of the world, we will continue attempting to "buy" friends. There is no way the US State Department can pick and choose sides without ultimately risking American lives at home or overseas. I actually agree with what you are saying here. As for the video I don't really think it adds much to the argument though. Shit happens on all sides in a war. Shit does happen on all sides in a war, but this little feature could open the eyes of those who have no idea of its brutality. I remember seeing the mujahedin carving up some poor Russian kid years ago on the internet (didn't learn anything; did we?). I heard we had a "hatchet" battalion in Vietnam, but that was before the internet. The mosque music is a little freaky; definitely not "Onward Christian Soldiers".

Absolutely. The attention on Snowden means less - or zero - attention on the Admin. That makes sound politics. "What we're doing is not the issue. The issue is the snitch." The Russians and Chinese are certainly giving the finger to the Admin. Kerry looks like a boob. The President looks incompetent. I'm not liking this one bit... No chance, the "Admin." still has a schedule to meet: climate change, death of the coal companies, and the loss of thousands of jobs related to the coal companies. It's like leaving D.C. to go campaigning the day after the Benghazi attack. It's his schedule, you know. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

I believe the Russians have been in the spying and in security business long before the Cubans. Russia is not the closed society it once was, but just look how vast it is; lots of places to hide. Once again, he may not be able to handle the climate (or any solitude). Our boy may have to be in the spotlight, but then he becomes a liability One of those "Mulatas" would turn on Snowden for a corn dog and a pair of real Levis. Many a "good" spy or "good" bank robber has been brought down by "romantic pursuits". No doubt there are thousands of contractors on the CIA's payroll around the world watching their backs tonight and hoping Snowden gets outed. Guys like Snowden have to be pretty mercenary and full of hatred to turn over names. The man is a traitor. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

You must watch a lot of American spy movies with happy endings. Our American hero would probably be safer (but colder) in Russia than anywhere else, but the Russians may not think he's worth keeping.

OK, I forced myself to watch it. I'll see if I can get some sleep tonight. I found the comments given at the end of the article to be interesting. I have a very dear friend who is serving his 3 tour in Afgan...but has a total of 7 deployments to a war zone in the past 11 years or so. I believe he mentioned this was his last and he was getting out. He is hoping he doesn't step on anything that might keep that from happening. Seven deployments, and they expect these returning veterans to step off the plane and return to normal life like nothing happened. I wish him the best, and I hope he has a lot of support at home. Multiple tours is bleeding our military, and like the Vietnam experience, I'm sure many of these veterans are asking, "why"? Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

But what's the answer? I don't know. Threaten to start bombing and invading? Well, the targets are too big for that. When Snowdon was in Hong Kong, should the US have promised to send Chinese dissidents back, on the principle that all criminals, political included, should be sent home to stand trial? Trade sanctions? It would be no good to the US with China, who knows what it would be like with Russia, and it would mean spirited to the world with the likes of Ecuador. Anything other than straightforward legal attempts at extradition etc. might make things worse for the US's image?? The world laughs when the "most powerful man in the free world" is stopped in his tracks. Can you blame them? This is the guy who told Putin to, "wait until my re-election, etc...." The world laughs at us, and we deserve it. Snowden will end up in a can of tuna with Jimmy Hoffa. Short of physically pulling every gigabyte out of his brain, they can never trust anything out of his mouth. Besides, we don't do that sort of thing; right?

McKiernan was deemed too “old school” because he wanted to fight an old-fashioned war against the Taliban while Obama Inc. believed that the war couldn’t be won by beating the Taliban, but by winning the hearts and minds of Afghans. It was a fashionable and doomed strategy that required sacrificing the lives and limbs of thousands of American soldiers to political correctness."

>Do NRA members bring guns to Tea Party rallies? Yes, but only after every member is inspected to insure they have their basic load of frag grenades, CS grenades, smoke grenades, and no less than 15 high capacity magazines for their personal weapon. A resupply vehicle must be positioned to the rear with easy access for ammo bearers if the need arises. Remember, the Geneva Code does not apply to left wing nuts who carry illegal squirt guns.

Yeah, it's "all bullshit" just like this: "We need enforcement and surveillance, but it needs to be smart and targeted surveillance. And that can only happen under leaders who stop apologizing for singling out members of an ideology responsible for our long war because of their beliefs. We’re at war with an ideology. Singling out members of that ideology is the only rational way to fight that war." Posted by Debra Moore at 11:44 AM It really doesn't matter where this came from.

It was obvious that terrorists were attempting to kill Americans and destroy US property, and it happened. Do you think that there would be innocent civilians walking on the street and "among the attackers" at that time of the morning? That was not the time for uncle Omar to be walking around selling his rugs. Uncle Omar would be home asleep in his bed. Bring on the US Air Force.

After warnings by the Russians, how come the FBI waited 4 days after the Boston bombings to enter the local mosque that the bombers attended? Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Bullshit. Obama's Snooping Excludes Mosques, Missed Boston Bombers Posted 06/12/2013 06:34 PM ET Email Print License Comment inShare Homeland Insecurity: The White House assures that tracking our every phone call and keystroke is to stop terrorists, and yet it won't snoop in mosques, where the terrorists are. That's right, the government's sweeping surveillance of our most private communications excludes the jihad factories where homegrown terrorists are radicalized. Since October 2011, mosques have been off-limits to FBI agents. No more surveillance or undercover string operations without high-level approval from a special oversight body at the Justice Department dubbed the Sensitive Operations Review Committee. Who makes up this body, and how do they decide requests? Nobody knows; the names of the chairman, members and staff are kept secret. We do know the panel was set up under pressure from Islamist groups who complained about FBI stings at mosques. Just months before the panel's formation, the Council on American-Islamic Relations teamed up with the ACLU to sue the FBI for allegedly violating the civil rights of Muslims in Los Angeles by hiring an undercover agent to infiltrate and monitor mosques there. Before mosques were excluded from the otherwise wide domestic spy net the administration has cast, the FBI launched dozens of successful sting operations against homegrown jihadists — inside mosques — and disrupted dozens of plots against the homeland. If only they were allowed to continue, perhaps the many victims of the Boston Marathon bombings would not have lost their lives and limbs. The FBI never canvassed Boston mosques until four days after the April 15 attacks, and it did not check out the radical Boston mosque where the Muslim bombers worshipped. The bureau didn't even contact mosque leaders for help in identifying their images after those images were captured on closed-circuit TV cameras and cellphones. One of the Muslim bombers made extremist outbursts during worship, yet because the mosque wasn't monitored, red flags didn't go off inside the FBI about his increasing radicalization before the attacks. This is particularly disturbing in light of recent independent surveys of American mosques, which reveal some 80% of them preach violent jihad or distribute violent literature to worshippers. What other five-alarm jihadists are counterterrorism officials missing right now, thanks to restrictions on monitoring the one area they should be monitoring?
