Ready For New Stiff Spine In Foreign Policy???

Tired of a President who bows to other potentates???



Check this out:
"Trump has chosen retired Marine Gen. James Mattis for secretary of defense
....James N. Mattis to be secretary of defense, according to people familiar with the decision, nominating a former senior military officer who led operations across the Middle East to run the Pentagon less than four years after he hung up his uniform."
Trump has chosen retired Marine Gen. James Mattis for secretary of defense



A bit of insight into who this man is:
"Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet."
One of the rules Maj. Gen. James Mattis gave his Marines to live by in Iraq, as quoted in Fiasco: The American Military Adventure in Iraq (2006) by Thomas E. Ricks; as excerpted in Armed Forces Journal (August 2006)


The enemies of America: beware.

It really worked out well for Bush.

Bullies and right wingers usually have so much in common.

Bullies are usually stupid.

Bullies try to push others around but are actually cowards.

Bullies think negotiation is a sign of weakness.

Bullies, if they can, will send others to take the fall.

Bullies, more often than not, tend to be losers.
 
Weakbama's reluctance to use our military effectively has tremendously damaged morale...MAD DOG WILL BRING ABOUT A REVOLUTION IN OUR ARMY'S MORALE!
So Trump SHOULD go into Syria?

only to destroy ISIS!
So Assad should stay in power? How's McCain and the gop hawks with this stance?

the vaccum could be worse. the vaccuum could be worse. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORSE

Trump could very well be worse. That's the concern. We need a consistent policy, which has been lacking ... really for 16 years.

I don't know about Mad Dog, but the Wandering General may have some good input about what we should consider an existential threat that requires us to send troops into combat ... and even what types of govts we should support.
 
2. Waterboarded????
Just about every college student has been, you dolt.

Umm, have you been to college?

Seems very unlikely on many counts, starting with obsessive thought patterns coupled with delusions.

Let me know when you're ready to compare educations.

Ah, so yes? You've been college?

How many times were you waterboarded?

The answer is ZERO, because you are obviously clueless about what it is and what it does, let alone how many college students it happens to.


Your education to follow....pay attention.


Fuck you and your dodge town.

Answer the question: Where you waterboarded in college or anywhere else?

Answer: NO.

So stfu about how all the college kids get waterboarded and what a walk in the park it is.


Good job, low-life!

Thanks for revealing the sort of language one can expect from Liberals when their most closely held views are destroyed.
 
I'd be pleased with three-fifths the way between the recklessness of G.W. Bush and the appeasement of Obama.

....the recklessness of G.W. Bush..."

This might suggest a course of reevaluation:


"The man who stood in the midst of the rubble at the World Trade Center site, and announced with bullhorn in hand to our enemies that “the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon,” prevented a second 9/11.

How do we know that President Bush prevented a second attack? 9/11 mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, himself has said so.

In a new memoir, James E. Mitchell describes speaking with Mohammed about 9/11, in which the al Qaeda terrorist states unequivocally that he was not able to “launch a second wave of attacks” because of the “ferocity and swiftness of George W. Bush’s response.”
George W. Bush Was RIGHT!

I challenged your post #249 with this:

"And your link says.....????

Oh....no link....you just made that up.

The usual Liberal attempt."



As you couldn't come up with same.....we can safely stipulate that you are nothing but a Leftist windbag?

Excellent.

I agree with you, but I don't think it's possible to argue with someone living on another plane of existence.



Yet neither of you dunces were able to deny anything I posted.

Case closed.

Rdean pretty much nailed it. Trump is both a bully and a loser, thin skinned and always looking to "get even".

You don't need to "get even" when you're winning. You're already ahead. Only people who are losers and can't keep up need to "get even". Trump is getting even with New Yorkers by making them pay for security to keep his family in NY.

That's your thin skinned Trumpenfuhrer. Always trying to prove to the world he's not a loser.

"Trump is getting even with New Yorkers by making them pay for security to keep his family in NY."

You must have been really upset when you saw this:
"President Barack Obama made good on a campaign promise to his wife Michelle by taking her on a Saturday night date in New York, only to attract criticism for wasting tax payers' money in a recession.
Rather than taking the normal presidential Boeing 747 from Washington and back, the couple opted to fly in a Gulfstream jet, requiring two other small planes to follow, carrying staff and the media retinue."
Barack Obama criticised for cost of Broadway date

I must have missed your post condemning it.....



So....seems you have both ends covered: you're an airhead and a windbag.
 
Can't even answer a simple question. What a lame ass lightweight.

You've got no facts, no game, and no intellect.


Remind me.....who did you claim would be the final Republican?????

Actually, I’m proud of you!
Not only are you a fool, but you announce it every time you post that avi!!!

Except for the fact that Trump didn't win. Hillary beat him by 2% and 2.5 million votes and counting...


Let's examine the vote....

1. "Officially, Clinton has beaten Trump in the popular vote by approximately 2.5 million."

If you count Illegal aliens and dead folks.
How many of the 30 million illegal aliens voted?
Any?

How many?



2. "Be careful about sources."

How's this....LA Times:

7. "If you’ve visited the DMV in the last few weeks, you may have noticed that you can now complete your voter registration at the same time you renew your driver’s license — without having to fill out a separate form.... they will be registered as having no party preference. " Registered to vote at the DMV? Check again. Many who use the new process miss a vital step two



Wanna deny this:

6. "12 States (and DC) That Allow Driver's Licenses for People in the Country Illegally" 12 States (and DC) That Allow Driver's Licenses for People in the Country Illegally - Illegal Immigration - ProCon.org


How about disqualifying this guy...




3. "Clinton has beaten Trump in the popular vote by approximately 2.5 million."

Yup....but not if you only count legal voters.

"Richman was the co-author of a 2014 study that looked at noncitizen voting in the 2008 and 2010 elections. In the comparable presidential election year, the Old Dominion study determined 6.4 percent on noncitizens in the United States voted in the 2008 presidential election, and about 81 percent of those voters backed Democrat Barack Obama."


Now....if 6.4 percent on noncitizens in the United States voted last time

....and now
a. their icon, Obama, told them to vote and not be concerned that there would be any penalty (as per the video)

and...

b. the central issue in Trump's campaign was throwing them out of the nation that they invaded....


....ya' think maybe 13.2%....or 17.6%.....or more of 'em voted??????
What would logic dictate?


They voted?
You betcha'!!!!!!!


If any illegal aliens did vote (which I doubt), it doesn't make up for all of the Democrats who were prevented from voting due to voter suppression. There were 868 fewer voting locations in 2016 than there were in 2012, overwhelmingly in Democratic precincts. Why? Because Repug election officials wanted to create long lines, so that Democratic voters would go home without voting.

There Are 868 Fewer Places to Vote in 2016 Because the Supreme Court Gutted the Voting Rights Act

So you lose, lightweight. Hillary Clinton won by over 2.6 million votes and by over 2%. This election has been stolen from her.




"If any illegal aliens did vote (which I doubt),....

OMG!!!!

As if your avi didn't prove you enough of a dunce....his one is icing on the cake!

.....it's gilding the lily.




Maybe you could change that foot-in-your-mouth avi to "Lily."


You don't have any evidence of illegal aliens voting, you stupid bitch. Right-wing conspiracy websites don't count.

On the other hand, there is plenty of evidence of Repug voter suppression tactics, as my previous post indicated. Instead of winning by 2.6 million votes, Hillary probably would have won by 5 million votes if it wasn't for Repug voter suppression tactics.

Clinton crushed sorry ass Trump by 2.6 million votes and counting. A 2% point lead. Hillary Clinton won this election. Period.

A "wave"?

Really?

It was a dozen guys with boxcutters who took advantage of a situation Bush was warned about and did nothing.

3."... took advantage of a situation Bush was warned about and did nothing."

Now pay attention: this is where I educate you:

A CIA spokesman said the agency routinely passed on intelligence citing the possibility that al Qaeda might be planning to hijack an airliner as part of a terrorist action against the United States. But a suicide attack involving an aircraft was never envisioned, the spokesman said."
Bush Was Told of Hijacking Dangers (washingtonpost.com)

Pretty specific warning, huh?

"...information prompted administration officials to issue a private warning to transportation officials and national security agencies. ... In a press briefing, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice said the threats were very general and did not mention a specific time, place or mode of terrorist attack." http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=August_6,_2001,_President's_Daily_Briefing_Memo_(External_Links)



And...do you know who asked for intelligence briefings?

"The White House said the presidential daily briefing, or PDB, was requested by Bush, who sought information about the possibility of an al Qaeda attack in the United States."
CNN.com - White House releases*bin Laden memo - Apr 12, 2004


There were no specific warning, Bush passed the thoughts on to the transportation industry, and requested daily updates.



4. Seems like Bush was far more responsible than the oaf in the White House now.....the one who took a nap while Benghazi was under attack.

"Waterboarding is torture, and for you to equate it to a beer chug is fucking comical."

But one of your masters said it isn't.

1. [Rep. Dan] Lungren [(R., CA) and the state's former attorney general] then switched gears to a line of questioning aimed at clarifying the Obama Justice Department’s definition of torture. In one of the rare times he gave a straight answer, Holder stated at the hearing that in his view waterboarding is torture. Lundgren asked if it was the Justice Department’s position that Navy SEALS subjected to waterboarding as part of their training were being tortured.

Holder: No, it’s not torture in the legal sense because you’re not doing it with the intention of harming these people physically or mentally, all we’re trying to do is train them —

Lungren: So it’s the question of intent?

Holder on Waterboarding — Proving It's Not Torture While Insisting It Is

http://www.nationalreview.com/artic...partments-torture-hypocrisy/andrew-c-mccarthy


So you must be one of their drones not smart enough to keep up with the propaganda.


And...clearly, as both enhanced technique of waterboarding and the college prank of chugalug both have exactly the same 20-40 second deprivation of oxygen.....
...either one is torture,or neither are.


QED....you're simply a robot of the Left.

True?


Another loaded piece of crap. My masters? I don't have a master and Eric Holder was a complete douche. Either you are an idiot willfully or you have some kind of mental defect, which is it? Beer chugging and waterboarding are NOT the same. One of the major differences, that you can't seem to fucking grasp, is one is done willfully and a person can stop, the other isn't.

You see how that works rightard?

Did you vote for Obama?
Then you voted for those he put in charge of you, hence, Holder, your master.



"Beer chugging and waterboarding are NOT the same. One of the major differences, that you can't seem to fucking grasp, is one is done willfully and a person can stop, the other isn't."

So you agree that there is no physiological differentiation?
Excellent.

So, are they both torture, or are neither?

No I didn't vote for Obama twit. Quit assuming.

And no I didn't agree they have no physiological difference... but to ignore the idea that one is voluntary and can be stopped at any time and the other is not, is a huge fundamental flaw in your argument. Of course you are too righty brainwashed to understand that.

Hell some people like to be chained up and beaten... does that mean if I chained you up and beat you that isn't against the law? Do you NOT understand the difference?


1. "...one is voluntary and can be stopped at any time and the other is not..."
Wrong again.
Waterboarding, when used to train our soldiers, cannot be stopped at any time.


2. As you realized, there is no physiological difference between waterboarding and chugalug.

3. And, as a great deal of significant intelligence was gained by enhanced interrogation, it is recognized as a defense of the American people.


4. I only deal in facts and truth.
That's why I'm never wrong.

Let's summarize:
Waterboarding is considered by many on the left to be torture only because it occurred during the hated Bush administration.

Had it occurred during the Obama administration it would be lauded as an "effective, non-lethal, humane information gathering technique."


5. Wasn't it fun proving that you have all the discrimination ability of Don Quixote?
You didn't understand that any more than you understand waterboarding, did you.

You can ask yourself question that you can answer. Congrats! I'll reiterate, if you can understand that that word means... you are the dumbest poster on this forum.

I don't care what you think you know. But professionals have said numerous times, and even the new Secretary of Defense agrees, torturing people for information is worthless.

'I've never found it to be useful.' He said, 'I've always found, give me a pack of cigarettes and a couple of beers and I do better with that than I do with torture.'"

But you go right ahead and keep thinking you are right all the time. You are good at playing D&D... that is dumb and delusional.


'I've never found it to be useful.' He said, 'I've always found, give me a pack of cigarettes and a couple of beers and I do better with that than I do with torture.'"

Donald Trump 'surprised' by Mattis waterboarding comments - CNNPolitics.com"



Then, there's this.....from the Wall Street Journal:

1. "Sorry, Mad Dog, Waterboarding Works
I respect Gen. Mattis, but he has never employed enhanced-interrogation techniques. I have.

2. ... on the subject of questioning terrorists, I have some practical experience. In 2002 I was contracted by the Central Intelligence Agency to help put together what became its enhanced-interrogation program. I spent much of the following six years at “black sites” around the world, trying to extract lifesaving information from some of the worst people on the planet.

3. It is understandable that Gen. Mattis would say he never found waterboarding useful, because no one in the military has been authorized to waterboard a detainee. Thousands of U.S. military personnel have been waterboarded as part of their training, though the services eventually abandoned the practice after finding it too effective in getting even the most hardened warrior to reveal critical information.

4. I personally waterboarded the only three terrorists subjected to the tactic by the CIA. I also waterboarded two U.S. government lawyers, at their request, when they were trying to decide for themselves whether the practice was “torture.” They determined it was not.

5. Waterboarding was never the first, nor the best, choice for most detainees. We started out with the “tea and sympathy” approach and only escalated to harsher methods when it became clear that the detainee held vital information that might save innocent lives and was determined not to provide it. We quickly moved away from enhanced interrogations as soon as the detainee showed even a little cooperation.



6. ....it is not as if we had unlimited time to see if we could buddy up to terrorists to find out if another attack was on the horizon. There were multiple attacks being planned at the time. For example, not long after 9/11 the CIA was told of an al Qaeda effort to obtain nuclear fissionable material.

7. Critics will point to the 2014 Senate Intelligence Committee reportthat declared enhanced interrogation didn’t work. The investigation cost $40 million and took five years, yet investigators didn’t even speak to anyone involved in the program. Anyway, a report produced by an extremely partisan congressional committee deserves skepticism to begin with.

8. ....it is unreasonable to expect CIA officers to put their lives at risk to protect a government that will not do its best to protect them in return. Overemphasize political correctness, and we will be standing on the moral high ground, looking down into a smoking hole that used to be several city blocks.

9. .... if intelligence cannot be elicited using only the tactics contained in the Army Field Manual—as President Obama has directed—we will simply have to live with the consequences?"
Sorry, Mad Dog, Waterboarding Works


Save American lives!
Amen and God Bless!
 
It was a dozen guys with boxcutters who took advantage of a situation Bush was warned about and did nothing.

A "wave"????

Really?

You are a lying scumbag.

Every President was warned about every bad thing that has ever happened to this Country.

The problem was, the warnings were so generic, they meant next to nothing.

"Mr President, goatfuckers don't like us too much and they would really like to hurt us."

Or, "Mr President, Japan is seriously pissed and might launch an attack against us" -- Circa 1941.

"Mr President, there are goatfuckers in this Country that want to harm us" -- Right before the Boston Marathon, the Orlando butt-ranger massacre, Fort Hood, the al Qaeda killing of a Military recruiter in Little Rock, not to mention all the murders committed by BLM, an organization SUPPORTED by dimocrap FILTH

You are a dishonest pile of shit. But -- You're a dimocrap so that's kinda understood.

You lost. Get over it.

And you're going to keep losing. Almost certainly for the rest of your life unless you grow up.

Which is highly doubtful
