Harry Chappas Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I was listening to Michael Savage yesterday for the good points that he does make, he really comes off moronic when he got into the manner in which we killed him as being wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 There is actually a pretty sizable debate (which I don't agree with, well more like, don't care about) that it could have been illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, we performed an unauthorized military operation in a 3rd party's country. Of course it's illegal by some definition. The real question is why would anyone care.

It sure as well may have been. My issue is that the right is now trying to say it was the wrong thing to do which I find ludicrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 5, 2011 -> 09:03 AM) He's dead unless someone releases a photo of him with today's newspaper, and anyone who, 6 months from now is still saying he's alive will look pathetic. You don't need to cater to them. You mean if they photoshop a pic of him in 6 months holding a newspaper you will believe it? The fake photo thing will go both ways. Some will say the US photos are a hoax and the "alive" photos are real. Others will claim the dead photos are real and the live are faked.

The real question is why would anyone care. We've had reliable reports of Mexican military aircraft straying into US airspace. If they started shooting at alleged criminals on US soil, we'd care. If Candian troops raided a business on US soil and extradited someone they believed was doing something illegal, we'd care. So I'd guess Pakistan believes they are a real country with flags, holidays, police and laws and all that s***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, your parents may have been angry at you, that doesn't mean they were going to give you back to the stork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 5, 2011 -> 05:27 PM) Fixed Dude, first of all China owns less than 10% of U.S. debt, most of it is held by the Federal Reserve and private U.S. investors. Secondly, if China stopped buying U.S. debt, it'd be a good thing for the U.S. economy and a very bad thing for the Chinese manufacturing market.

Soxbadger Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 What can they do? They could give a terrorist access to a dirty bomb. Its best that we let them sabre rattle for a little bit, because what we did was a pretty big embarrassment for their country. I dont think theyll do anything, but this is just sabre rattling to save face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll only care if they choose to do something about it, which I'm sure they won't. I'm not certain I care either. But to invade a sovereign nation should not be taken lightly and is exactly the kind of actions that causes us to be hated around the globe. Eventually all that hate may really hurt us.

I believe the point he is making is we actually borrow that money for them. Which is kind of interesting, if debt is so damn good for a country, why don't they just borrow it themselves?

southsider2k5 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 BTW, lots of fun stories this morning, including the possibility Chicago already was a target of the train attacks, that were found in El Casa De Bin Laden, back in 2007 when an eerily similar event happened with about a dozen spikes being pulled out right in front of the bridge of a metra/south shore route over I94 on the south side/ Plus the story about the chopper potentially being a new stealth helicopter that no one knew was being built, and of course Joe Biden accidentally confirming, when no one else in the administration would, that it was indeed the Navy Seals that carried out this raid.

Yeah, they are saying there is evidence of planning for a train plot - derailing by putting obstacles in the way - to be done around the 10th anniversary of 9/11.
