It doesn't matter whether we are aggressive or not. They are going to attack us.
Our military is supposed to be for DEFENSE, not offense.
Unless you now call offense and invasions being "pro defensive"

I'm still assembling the pieces as I get them on eBay. If I can get Uranium at the right price, the Middle East will think that Russia did it. Because America is too wimpy under Obama.

Looking forward to the Secret Service visiting my house.

The recruiting offices are open 6 days a week. Go sign up, put on a uniform and then get back to us.

$1 billion dollars..over and above the $1.6 billion we give them and we're going to FORGIVE another $1 billion they owe us.

And McCain is fighting tooth and nail to keep this and pass it. And Hillary is too. And Obama said he'd veto what came to his desk if the US pulls any funding.

Is our government aiding and abetting the enemy here ?

German U-boats? No, I don't know about that. Got a link?

I was in favor of our hunting down bin Laden but I thought they would do it the spy way with covert operations and just take him out on some forgotten mountain path by following the wheel marks of his dialysis machine.

Never thought it would be 10 years and how many invaded countries later ? We seem to take these so called "side trip" invasions to bring democracy to various ME countries.

Look, it's the same as the police.

Defense is a reaction to something that has already happened.


Someone gets killed in their house. Then the cops come. Too late.


Our Military should be both defensive and offensive. It depends on the situation.


If there is a credible threat, should Americans just wait until it happens, or should we be proactive and nip the threat in the bud?

My choice is to get those bastards first.

Well we lost a tube of something radioactive here in Texas along the highway.
Maybe it's what you need ? Although they said to keep at least 30 feet away from the tube if you come across it.

Good question. Now I wonder if that was the case in Libya at our consulate.

Who calls the threat "credible" ? We have 9-11 and the death of the US Ambassador now. After the fact they said there were warnings. And they also say there are so many warnings that one can't take all the warnings to heart.

What should America do?

Apologize?

Figure out a way to tell them that they are all still living in the 3rd century.

Kick their a~ses and encourage them to stand up straight and enter the 21st century? If not - fu&k 'em.
Well, so far we have been kicking their asses, but you can apologize if it makes you feel better.
