Her thread title is unequivocal. 'Captures' is a precise word with a clear meaning. A road in the hands of the enemy is a road you can't use, period.
She will have to prove that, with RELIABLE sources, in order not to lose her money.
You may not get an answer for a while. She's been dispatched on a secret mission to rescue hostages in Syria. While there, she'll lead an international consortium on economic theory via Skype. She's very busy.
I'm almost certain how she made her mistake here;
I'll put up a thousand bucks with a mutually agreed to arbiter; I am betting that the Baghdad/Airport road has not been under the control of ISIS,
blocking all traffic to and from those two end points, shutting down all such traffic, since the time you claimed it was...
1. the holder of the money must be mutually agreed to.
2. you must provide proof of your claim to the satisfaction of the arbiter, the holder of the money.
3. your claim, to be clear, is that ISIS controls the road. Period. No half-ass bullshit that they 'control' it because they can fire mortars at it, or set IED's on it, or snipe at it. Nothing less than control.
4. you must be willing to deposit the money with the arbiter. No IOU's. No promises.
5. The arbiter's decision is final.
No, shit-for-brains, this is NOT what's meant by captured:
"blocking all traffic to and from those two end points, shutting down all such traffic, since the time you claimed it was"
I thought you said you were in the military??? What a poser. You have about as much military experience as Hillary Clinton does.
Here, let me school you, genius. Taken or captured means ISIS has the ability to deny access to us and our allies. It means they've successfully carried out ambushes, planted IEDs, or have successfully attacked anywhere along the road that renders it inaccessible for our normal purposes.
I know you're completely unqualified to talk about this subject, but I'd think you'd at least understand basic logistics.
You think 100% of that road...OR ANY ROAD....has to be under control to deny access????
The OP stands. You can't even understand the most basic assumptions of this thread. Or the Iraq discussion. You owe me money because ISIS has successfully denied access. Now jump to it.
lol, what a backtrack.
Anyone not see this coming?
The bet stands. I'll bet you $1000 ISIS does not control the Baghdad/airport road.
Typical liberal. Just like Gruber.
Play wordgames that have absolutely nothing with reality.
Shut the fuck up, liar. You proved you don't have the first clue what people on the ground understand about Route Irish.
What a poser.
You were never in the military. Maybe washing dishes....LOL
You've admitted you were lying. My work here is finished.
Oh, look the little clerk wants to play word games.
They've denied access.
Dempsey's out there claiming Iraq's all under control.
Anyone with a brain knows I'm exactly right.
But keep playing with your papers dingbat.
Prove that no traffic is going to and from the green zone to the airport.
ONE OUNCE of proof.
