McCain's Militia on the Move Again
truth on hold replied to truth on hold's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Rand Paul blames GOP hawks for rise of Islamic State group The freshman senator from Kentucky said Wednesday that the GOP's foreign policy hawks "created these people." The Islamic State group, commonly referred to as ISIS, has seized one-third of Iraq and Syria and in recent days made gains in central Iraq. "ISIS exists and grew stronger because of the hawks in our party who gave arms indiscriminately," Paul said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." He continued: "They created these people. ISIS is all over Libya because these same hawks in my party loved — they loved Hillary Clinton's war in Libya. They just wanted more of it." http://news.yahoo.com/rand-paul-blames-gop-hawks-rise-isis-170523782--election.html -

Tourism "McCain Militia" style... Palmyra: IS 'kills 20 men' at ancient theatre Islamic State (IS) militants have killed 20 men at the ancient theatre inside the Unesco World Heritage site of Palmyra, central Syria, a monitoring group says. Residents were rounded up and forced to watch the men being shot, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-32920614 -
The record is intact. Not sure what's more astounding: that with all the playoff series no team has ever recovered from 3&0, or only 3 teams have ever forced a game 7 http://www.answers.com/Q/Which_NBA_teams_have_come_back_after_being_down_3-0_in_a_playoff_series

Rick Santorum announces 2016 presidential bid
truth on hold replied to truth on hold's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
yes, but does it matter? They've been the teflon couple for decades. And the Repubes will hack themselves to death trying to out do each other in the primaries, playing to their donor base which is way out of touch with the populace. -

McCain and Romney had that momey too and they got crushed. The only thing that stopped Hillary 8 years ago was someone in her own party. There is no Obama this time. Again IMO her "play it safe, tell everyone what they want to hear" strategy will work against repubes because theyre so out of touch just let them shoot themselves in the foot -
Yes, but one of his ilk just passed a few weeks ago Extreme athlete Dean Potter hailed as 'a visionary' by fellow climbers and friends Potter, who died Saturday in Yosemite national park alongside fellow climber Graham Hunt, leaves behind a legacy of ‘using his body as a twisted piece of art’ Alex Honnold, a Yosemite resident and another of the world’s most renowned rock climbers, tweeted that Potter’s death had left him “in a dark cloud”, and toldthe New York Times that Potter “shaped the direction of climbing for this generation. He was a very creative influence on climbing”. http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/may/18/extreme-athlete-dean-potter-visionary-tributes

And right here is another example of why Hillary will likely be referred to as "President-elect Clinton" in November of next year. Another Repube "platform" that couldn't be more out of touch with the populace. Unfortunately all Hill needs to do is her usual non-committal routine, and she wins in a laugher. Santorum was elected as a United States Senator for Pennsylvania in 1994. He served two terms until losing his re-election bid in 2006. A devout, practicing Catholic, Santorum is a social conservative who opposes same-sex marriage and artificial birth control. While serving as a senator, Santorum was the author of what came to be known as the Santorum Amendment, which promoted the teaching of intelligent design. In 2005, Santorum introduced the Workplace Religious Freedom Act along with Senator John Kerry. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Santorum

Hey they still haven't gotten by the rockets yet. Crazier things have happened (although admittedly not many)

Here's another real doozy: Niger uranium forgeries The Niger uranium forgeries are forged documents initially revealed by SISMI (Italian military intelligence). These documents seem to depict an attempt made by Saddam Hussein in Iraq to purchase yellowcake uranium powder from Niger during theIraq disarmament crisis. On the basis of these documents and other indicators, the governments of the United States and the United Kingdom asserted that Iraq violated United Nations Iraq sanctions by attempting to procure nuclear material for the purpose of creating weapons of mass destruction. By early 2002, separate investigations by both the CIA and the US State Department had found the documents to be inaccurate. Days before the Iraq invasion, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) voiced serious doubt on the authenticity of the documents to the UN Security Council, judging them counterfeit. In early October 2002, George Tenet called Deputy National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley to ask him to remove reference to the Niger uranium from a speech Bush was to give in Cincinnati on October 7. This was followed up by a memo asking Hadley to remove another, similar line. Another memo was sent to the White House expressing the CIA's view that the Niger claims were false; this memo was given to both Hadley and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice. In his January 2003 State of the Union speech, U.S. President George W. Bush said, "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niger_uranium_forgeries

There's no way I'm going to try to teach you about economics, international finance, the banking system, financial markets, effects of budget deficits, etc etc. If you can't understand something as simple as borrowing and spending can't continue ad infinitum there's no point. -
This dramatic video captures a group of daredevil photographers taking selfies on top of a Hong Kong skyscraper. Captured using a specially adapted selfie stick, the sweat-inducing images show the lengths some people will go to for the most extreme self portrait. Pictured at heights over 360 metres in the air, the nerve-shredding photographs show the group of photographers dangling by one hand and even tip-toeing across tiny ledges. http://www.businessinsider.sg/daredevil-selfie-hong-kong-skyscraper-2015-2/#.VWMw-k-eDRZ

Forgetting about the immorality of invading and destablizing countries on false premises and wherein scores of civilians and american personnel die (which sadly on this audience is the case anyway), there is the practical reality we don't have unlimited budgets to stay forever. You think the trillion+ we ran up in Iraq and the biggest financial crisis since the great depression were somehow unrelated ? You think this federal government that has $18 trillion debt outstanding can keep borrow and spend to infinity? Wake up man we can't even afford to rebuild our own nation much less run around nation building somewhere else -
How about the ones who weren't, including Hans Blix from the UN, the only one actually carrying out inspections: Speaking on the anniversary of the United States' invasion of Iraq, originally declared as a pre-emptive strike against a madman ready to deploy weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), the man first charged with finding those weapons said that the U.S. government has "the same mind frame as the witch hunters of the past" looking for evidence to support a foregone conclusion. "There were about 700 inspections, and in no case did we find weapons of mass destruction," said Hans Blix, the Swedish diplomat called out of retirement to serve as the United Nations' chief weapons inspector from 2000 to 2003 http://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2004/03/18_blix.shtml

Buffalo Bills using Tyrod Taylor as smokescreen Steven Bauld May 24, 2015 Buffalo Bills NFLTaylor could succeed and win the starting job mainly because Ryan is searching for a dual threat quarterback. With Greg Roman as the offensive coordinator his best years came with using Colin Kaepernick as a dual threat quarterback. Perhaps, Ryan thinks he can capture lightning in a bottle. Another thing that Taylor has going for him is Ryans respect for the Ravens organizations talent evaluation. He understands that the Ravens generally make good personnel decisions so Taylor is a good player but was just stuck behind Joe Flacco in his mind. Taylor also posses very good arm strength but that is really no indication a quarterback will be successful. In his limited NFL game experience Taylor has completed close to 60 percent of his passes. His accuracy is an issue but the same could be said for Manuel and Cassel. http://www.endzonescore.com/buffalo-bills-using-tyrod-taylor-as-smoke-screen/15863 -

Of course no mention at all of how the McCain militia helped create the problem in the first place by a) destabilizing Syria, and before that b) cheerleading for the removal of Saddam which destabilized Iraq. This ass has a huge hand in creating the mess, and then runs around crying foul at everyone else -
yes you do, read the title of your crap article

OK so many around Bush lied and he was a fool to believe it. Like that exonerates anyone ?

Howard never was the rightful heir to Shaqs thrown he was billed as. That said he is playing injured. The real question with Kerr's success is how much difference a coach makes? How would warriors and knicks seasons been different if he took the Knicks job?
