That will be next.

Just when I think the pronouncements from the WH can't get any crazier, they do.

What kind of parallel universe does the President and the administration live in? [shaking head]


The Bizzarro World apparently.

Nah, according to the State Dept. (and dsjj), just get them all a $15 an hour minimum wage job and they will be singing kumbaya.

Ohhhh personal attacks in order to what? Make a point? Or?

Yeah, when your discussion goes to personal attacks its kinda funny. But why not discuss the topic? Employed people tend to work, not chop off peoples heads.

As others have pointed out though, theres some cultural and religious issues that cause issues as well. However everything really does come down to people having hope, work, etc.

And theres nothing thats going to fix this over there. Boots on the ground, etc will not fix it, nor will us throwing money at it. Let the locals resolve this for themselves, because theres no way we as a country are willing to use the force necessary to fix this.

Much of their leadership did. Thats far different.

Every time we kill the second in command their collective IQ probably drops by a point. 2 for their leadership. These aren't the best and brightest in the area.

I think many forget the aim of all radical Muslims for centuries in forming a country that dominates the middle east. Their final goal or destination is to prey in Mecca.
