  1. Lol as if that's possible, but thanks for the laugh
  2. Where's your outrage over the incessant islamophobia and racism at fox? As americas #1 cable channel has a lot more influence than aja. And fox culture we know comes right from the top in Rupert Murdoch
  3. No But it is what it is now. Gotta dance with the gal you brought, as they say. Even though that gal just had hip surgery and won't be dancing for a while.
  4. There was a strong element of neocon agenda in Obamas policy, especially when Hillary was SoS. I pointed it out in the bush thread. And those elements are where policy went terribly astray. I have no problem calling it like it is regardless of party or individual. You're partisan thinking can't seem to grasp that. I wish everyone were like that, but sadly I think not. The system is horribly corrupt and foreign policy by and large does not reflect the interests of the citizens. The only potential way out is for citizens to impose their will at the ballot box and stop electing these creeps.
  5. Not that I think it will matter because it was too long ago and the desire to elect female president will be more important to many of her supporters, but .... Bernie Sanders Joins Growing Chorus of Clinton Challengers Who Opposed Her on Iraq http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2015-04-30/bernie-sanders-joins-growing-chorus-of-clinton-challengers-who-opposed-her-on-iraq ........ He should go after her more recent tenure as secretary of state, where she had a lot more influence on foreign policy. And with that influence she ramped up the neocon agenda with horrible misadventures in libya and syria
  6. I think a conducive business environment is a factor, but do you really think it accounts for that much disproportionality?
  7. Namath's hair looks terrible. Just for men on a shrively old face doesn't work. That said his criticism of RR is not so easily dismissed either
  8. No, but its a good question. Why do you think thats the case?
  9. Yeah and that Manny sure knows how to treat a woman. Jinkee admits: Manny cheated on me She might have hinted it in interviews and gave pointed messages to those involved, but this is the first time on live television that Jinkee Pacquiao has addressed the issue directly. Perhaps it might have been just water under the bridge, but Jinkee just wanted to let it all out once and for all. On ABS-CBNs Kris TV recently, Jinkee admitted that she had seriously dealt with husband Manny Pacquiaos womanizing, which she said was a result of the former pound-for-pound champs fame and the influence of those who surround him. https://ph.celebrity.yahoo.com/blogs/omgphnewsblog/jinkee-admits-manny-cheats-165100974.html
  10. Big picture I agree with that, but the more fundamental problem is support for our 2 main "allies" Israel and Saudi. It's why our policy runs counter to objectives of stabilization and keeping the US out. The most recent flare up in Yemen is yet another example. Had we left the Youthis alone they had shown they were perfectly capable of defeating Al Qaeda. They're also the type of oppressed group our "Arab Spring" agenda was supposed to have liberated. He's trying to walk a fine line appeasing the powerful foreign lobby and interest groups, while keeping boots off the ground and reducing military expenditures we can't afford. Very difficult to pull-off. I wish he had taken his case more often and more directly to the American people. Public opinion shows theyre on board with no more foreign wars, a fair mideast policy, and fiscal restraint. That kind of leadership has been missing in DC since the Reagan/Clinton era
  11. It has to do with your priorities. Ive never said lives and tax dollars don't matter (quite the contrary), unlike ummmm .... you. Your only plea was for machines #SaveOurPlanes
  12. In response to "What foreign war/disaster did Obama get us stuck in? " who said: "If that's your measure of successful foreign policy, you have no business discussing the topic." And "Hey, what's a war cost anyway, right? Not a big deal?" who said: "That's got nothing to do with foreign policy."
  13. wouldnt go that far, but i agree she's starting to over play her hand on the curvacious thing
  14. Well maybe that's one cost you care about, because certainly ..... #SaveOurTaxDollarsAndLives ..... doesn't meant anything to you
  15. Meanwhile what are our "Dear Friends" up to over there.
  16. And the hits just keep coming for that ill-fated quarter million dollar blunder of a speech. [White House Press Secretary] Earnest also tweaked Bush by suggesting Obama was elected primarily as a result of the American public rebuking the Bush administration's foreign policy decisions. "The fact that President Bush has a different perspective and a different philosophy when it comes to foreign policy, isn't just a well-known difference [between them]," he added. "In the minds of many people, it's the principle reason that President Obama is sitting in the Oval Office right now." http://finance.yahoo.com/news/white-house-fires-back-george-184550021.html
  17. But so long as the former president is dipping his toes back into the public debate, lets keep a few pertinent details in mind: 1. Presidents who launch two massive wars that destabilized the entire Middle East probably shouldnt warn about his successor making the region chaotic. 2. When U.S. forces withdrew from Iraq, it was under the terms of a Status of Forces Agreement negotiated by George W. Bush. 3. Bush may not like the idea of a nuclear agreement with Iran, but President Obama is now making up for the fact that Bush could have struck a better deal but failed to even try, and Irans nuclear capabilities grew far more serious without consequence on Bushs watch. http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/george-w-bush-unironically-warns-middle-east-chaos?cid=sm_fb_maddow
  18. That was a great right hand. People keep saying Floyd doesn't have power should look right there. If he catches someone he can put them away. He doesn't have more KO's because he's more tactical fighter focused on defensive skills. If Manny gets the punch count up and Floyd senses he won't get a decision, I can see him using that under appreciated power and taking Manny out. In fact I think that may be the most probable scenario. I'm calling it: Floyd TKO's Manny in Rd9
  19. Capping Al Qaeda with drones by Obama was sound. It went terribly astray recently with support for Saudi bombing campaign. This is a familiar and tragic pattern: Houthis had no beef with us, and were the only effective ally we had in fighting Al Qaeda. Now we are assisting in their demise, and since Saudis destablize countries without targeting Sunni militants, they come back stronger and create more problems for us
  20. the Obama failures - Syria, Iraq, Egypt - were extensions of the Bush Doctrine he inherited. His mistake was not being more forceful in changing course early on. Iraq was a disaster from the start, and it was inevitably going to get worse when the inevitable happened and this tired and overly indebted nation pulled out. He's also largely kept US boots "off the ground" saving countless lives. Of course the neocons are still at work desperately trying to change that
  21. Has roach ever been awake? But seriously about the only exciting that's happened in Manny's last 5+ years in the ring is when Marquez knocked him stone cold
  22. Bushs criticisms seemed primarily aimed at Obamas policies regarding Iran and Iraq, at least from Rogins recounting of his sources notes. He mentioned Vladimir Putin in a somewhat lighter vein, but warned that Putins hold on power was considerable, thanks to his ties to the oligarchy and his own grip on state media. Hell, Id be popular too, Rogin quotes Bush as saying, if I owned NBC News. Clearly, Bush has become concerned enough about the Iran deal and the state of affairs in Iraq and Syria to overcome his usual reticence about criticizing his successor. That may be part of the answer to the why now question, as the Iran deal has become an acute issue, especially with the front-loaded loosening of sanctions that has already gone into effect. Bush worries that Obama has gone too far in unleashing Tehran, and for good reason. Hes also concerned that the US still has not had an effective response to ISIS, and that Obama and his team have had more than enough time to find one. Forget the "butthole" childishness, JTSP gives his bias away with is amazing "scoop" of who owns the Venetian Hotel. As if that possibly made any difference in President Bush's behind doors remarks. Hilarious. . Yeah he's a real man of principle. Keeps his mouth shut until some billionaire pays him $250,000 to open it
  23. I hope he runs. Will add an element of fun versus the dreary Clinton's, and the bizarro Repubelicans http://edition.cnn.com/2015/04/26/politics/ip-bernie-sanders-big-day/
  24. What a butthole... Mr. Bush was the keynote speaker for the Republican Jewish Coalition's spring meeting at the Venetian Hotel, which is owned by conservative mega-donor Sheldon Adelson. The casino magnate - who has bankrolled several Republican campaigns in recent elections -- allegedly paid Bush $250,000 for the appearance, the Daily Beast reports. At the closed-door event, the former president also criticized the following administration for its handling of the terrorist group ISIS. Bush said he views the extremists as the "second act" of al Qaeda's reign of terror. "In order to be an effective president ... when you say something you have to mean it," Bush said. "You gotta kill em." Instead, the former president said that Obama was putting the U.S. in a position of "retreat" around the world. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/george-w-bush-knocks-obama-on-foreign-policy/
  25. In going for the American guy. Lot of trash talking coming from the Phillipine community. Manny is over hyped. I hope Floyd puts him in his place. And stifles the hate on USA
