I wonder if any civilians will be killed.

Go Blazers, haha.

I hope no civilians are killed.

 

[MarAzul]

Actually I hope all our airmen come back safe.

I'm pretty sure they will be... specially when there are quotes like this... ""We believe we hit, largely, everything we were aiming at," Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. John Kirby told Fox News. "

They bombed the one pickup truck in the middle of nowhere 35 times. Just to be sure they got it.

Maybe they were filming a piece for Dateline.

So youre telling me you have proof that ISIS doesnt have their headquarters set up in the back of a chevy?

 

[Denny Crane]

I think it's laughable that we spend $millions for each truck destroyed. The trucks are probably worth a few $thousand at most.

Bye bye, this here Isis guy..drove his Chevy to the levy, and was blown to the sky..

And them good ol' boys dropping bombs from up high, singing this' ll be the day that you die. that thing about the virgins was a lie.

That's what normal used Chevys are worth. These are high priority Chevy targets, though.

Are you blindly supporting Obama's military strikes against Syria and Iraq?

 

[MarAzul]

Has anyone heard what Victory looks like for this war?

I mean in the last Iraq war, it was chase Saddam out of town, preferably put his head on a pole.

In Afghanistan, Obama said it, "We Killed Ben Laden, Al Qaeda is decimated, Now it's time for the War to be over".

What happens to end this one? What ends this parade of Jihad fighters to the deserts of Syria and Iraq? Anyone have the word? I missed it.

 

[Minstrel]

Are you blindly supporting Obama's military strikes against Syria and Iraq?

Yes, Denny. That was an entirely serious post about the merits of the war. You are very discerning.

 

[Denny Crane]

Yes, Denny. That was an entirely serious post about the merits of the war. You are very discerning.

I asked if you support the military strikes against Syria and Iraq.

 

[Minstrel]

I asked if you support the military strikes against Syria and Iraq.

No you didn't. You asked if I blindly support them. The answer to that question is no.

 

[Denny Crane]

No you didn't. You asked if I blindly support them. The answer to that question is no.

Do you support the military strikes against Syria and Iraq?

 

[Cryptkeeper]

What if Obama's a genius and General Motors is owned by ISIS? :MARIS61:

 

[Denny Crane]

No you didn't. You asked if I blindly support them. The answer to that question is no.

I'll take that as a "yes" - you do support the military strikes, just not "blindly."

But I think "blindly" fits anyways.

 

[Cryptkeeper]

At this point, "blind(ly)" works in any sentence describing our government and it's actions...

I guess I need to ask in Saudi Arabia. It seems we have decided to back the Sunnis in their age old battle with the Shia. Perhaps only they know what victory looks like.
Sort of odd though, it seem like it kind of Sunni civil war in which the Shia also are against ISIS.

I don't have a good feeling about this.

 

[Minstrel]

I'll take that as a "yes" - you do support the military strikes, just not "blindly."

Actually, I don't have an opinion for or against them.

But I'll accept your blind vitriol.

That's pretty dangerous thinking. Having a "no opinion" on matters where our government is killing thousands of people is crazy.

 

[BlazerWookee]

They're the Clunkers from the Cash For Clunkers program. Gotta cover our tracks...

I consider it dangerous thinking when people pretend to have very certain, knowledgeable opinions on things they have no training to deal with.

I also have no opinion on much of the research at CERN, because I don't have an advanced physics degree. It's silly to act like we are all qualified to have serious opinions on everything, whether it's an important issue or not. You're free to "have an opinion" even if you have no real knowledge or experience in making such decisions. I'm free to think your opinion is probably uninformed.

Okay so you are blindly following those that have "official training", because you don't have the "know how" to make an opinion?

Would you take that same account if they decided to nuke Siria?

 

[Minstrel]

Okay so you are blindly following

Since you apparently don't know what "no opinion" means, it means that I neither endorse nor condemn the air strikes. I recognize that it's one reasonable approach, but I'm not sure that it's the best one, nor am I sure that there's a better option.

Using a nuclear weapon isn't really in the constellation of reasonable approaches, so I'd condemn that.

Holding "no opinion" is giving our government the right to do what they see fit without recourse. "Your opinion" is the "checks and balances" our constitution talks about
