  1. Nope, you're wrong its simply an extension of bush doctrine, albeit without boots on the ground. A break from bush policy would have been not only getting out of Iraq, but also not providing support for Syrian uprising. Remember ISIS got started in Syria after the uprising destabled that country, an uprising that was supported by US and our "allies" france and Saudis, among others.
  2. Obamas problem was not that he deviated from bush its that he was too similar. He inherited a morally bankrupt and illogical Mideast policy and a financially bankrupt nation. What he supported in Egypt was not Muslim brotherhood it was "democracy", the legacy of the bush doctrine. Instead of boots on the ground he tried a neocon light strategy of supporting the uprisings in Syria and Ukraine financially and diplomatically. To say he was uniquely at fault because he was less bush-like than either of his presidential opponents mccain or Romney would have been at pursuing an illogical policy that we couldnt afford, is simply complete partisan crap
  3. NFL has harsh penalties for substance abuse, more so than just about any other employer, and far too harsh IMO . But they're known and evenly applied. Gordon, his team, and agent knew the rules, there's no excusing him.
  4. “It’s not exactly what you want,” Cutler said. “He can give them things I’m sure. He knows snap counts, some of the stuff we do with our checks, what plays we like. But they still have to defend it. So we won’t change much if anything, maybe a few tweaks here and there. But we’ll just have to go play football and see how it goes.” doesn't sound annoyed. just a practical response. disappointing too, since I was hoping signing of palmer had added benefit of getting inside his head
  5. McCain killed fighting for ISIS in Syria NYTimes: http://nyti.ms/1nzdrAi
  6. I had it as one of my top 6 concerns. Morman is kicking everythinng short and we're losing field position as a result
  7. I couldnt believe in shoutbox people were telling me they wouldn't trade our QB lineups for jags or vikes right now. They both have perfect setup of capable vet + promising rookie. We have neither
  8. Richie blocking for tebow: short yardage and goal line problems solved
  9. Just following bills more recent tradition at the position
  10. And you can bet he'd be on a mission to knock those mofo's out 2x/year when we play them
  11. Guys a beast and one of the best in the league at a position of need for us. Definitely should bring him in for tryout. If that's good ink him to league minimum deal asap. Guy knows this is his last chance. Odds are he'll make most of it.
  12. funny that Mark Anderson is still a FA and counting against our dead money. Why did just not us but the whole league sour on him? Was his injury that bad? Or is he no longer interested in playing?
  13. I know so now being pro-Israeli radical right means being anti-intellectual too. Honestly, that much I will agree with them on
  14. on that note, concern #7: sitting next to you at a game
  15. Writing is on the wall theyre done with Thad. Won't even PS him this time
  16. where is Jamarcus Russell on the list?
  17. True conservatives wouldn't, historically they were non-interventionist vs dems. But note I said "neocon" who's very creation was driven by an agenda to make the party rely heavily on foreign intervention and military might.
  18. Lol probably a nitwit posting on Limbaugh's forum how man's co2 emissions aren't contributing to global warming, that its all a liberal hoax
  19. Well the top ones anyway, but after Saturday I felt the need to expand the list
  20. Did we have an alternative?
  21. Not that they rise to top 3, but after Saturday my 4 thru 6 concerns are: - Punting: does moorman ever get off a booming punt anymore? Seems like returners are always running up about 5-10 yards from where they were positioned because the kicks are on the short side. This matters because field position is so important, and running starts makes us vulnerable to TD returns - Offensive line: they just don't seem to have their act together and reg season is less than 2 weeks away. We can be as stacked as we want at the talent positions, but without quality performance from the o-line it won't matter - Deep Ball: I know this is somewhat related to o-line protection, but still do we ever take a shot down field? Good teams always seem to find a way to take some shots down field
  22. The shoulder in college too made him miss a season. But someone will give him a chance because its such a QB-starved league. But I don't see how rams can wait longer especially if they draft high again next year. Here's a photo of the first acl. DB was grabbing him from behind and its when he planted the left foot a moment later it tore
  23. He was wearing a brace. And it looks like both times the hit was shoulder-height and not direct on the knee
  24. well B-Man she will present a dilemma for you and other neocon kooks on the board.... Rand Paul: Hillary Clinton Is A 'War Hawk' WASHINGTON (AP) — Calling Hillary Rodham Clinton "a war hawk," Sen. Rand Paul says that if the former secretary of state seeks the presidency, some voters will worry that she will get the U.S. involved in another Mideast war. Paul is a leading anti-interventionist in the GOP and is considering running for president. Last year he opposed President Barack Obama's call for military action in Syria. In an interview that aired Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," Paul predicted a "transformational election" if the Democrats nominate "a war hawk like Hillary Clinton." "I think that's what scares the Democrats the most, is that in a general election, were I to run, there's gonna be a lot of independents and even some Democrats who say, 'You know what? We are tired of war,'" Paul said. "We're worried that Hillary Clinton will get us involved in another Middle Eastern war, because she's so gung-ho." http://www.huffingto..._n_5704507.html
  25. Well his view on getting rid of the state, how it puts authority in the hands of a powerful few, and spreads propaganda is quite libertarian, so I can see that. One of his co-authored books "Manufacturing Consent" is a classic on how the media aligns itself with the agenda of the state in misleading the people. You can see that phenomenon here with how the board's dopes who cant think for themselves fall right in line with "Israel = good, Syria, Iran & Russia = bad, support of uprisings in places like Libya and Egypt was for the "Arab Spring". A specific horrific example was the bogus Iraq WMD claim
