dubya's buddy signs for oil in Kurdish Iraq

Obama knows he can't beat the MIC, or the generals. They are out of civilian control, like the CIA/NSA.

you lie. who is Stanley McChrystal?

I figure Barry will fold on Keystone, and all the lies will be exposed soon after as the tar sands oil will be exported out of USA, a few 100 jobs, and national security/energy independence not enhanced.

Why would you vote for a guy who folds faster than patio furniture?

making a stand and folding under pressure is still slightly more courageous than accepting your marching orders.

[Winehole23]

The two are indistinguishable.

Folding under pressure is the exact opposite of making a stand, but surely sometimes it were wiser to withdraw and save one's fire for more favorable cir stances, than fight to the death. Obama's pattern of talking all hard then melting like ice cream has failed to impress me so far.

at least he wan't afraid to give it a shot. he knew there'd be backlash.

[clambake]

*Updating my POTUS courage matrix*
*weighting big business intersection*

This aint workin' out.

[Winehole23]

you did try to equate making a stand with folding like a lawn chair. that was odd.

[clambake]

thank god i used the word "slightly"

[Winehole23]

the word "nothing" would have been far more appropriate

[clambake]

i'll make a note of that.

[TeyshaBlue]

i'll make a note of that.

There will be a quiz at the end of this thread.

[The Reckoning]

lol so australia who joins the coalition in both wars, dont benefit anything from it??? while teh other countries who didnt do in the war are winning contracts? gtfo

pretty sure america's balls are in australia's mouth right now by outsourcing military ops, tech and even space tech over to the outback. not to mention a little national guilt over the lack of japanese being the national language.
