Cincy plus three is a winner but what a end of the game meltdown.

Problem for the Steelers ... injuries. Denver in a blowout.


Oh and exNYer is still correct.

Just when I thought you couldn't look any dumber, now you want to call a clash between rival nations a "civil war"? Please don't even TRY to elaborate on that one.

That you do not understand that one simple concept is why you do not understand how the GWB led invasion of Iraq had upset the balance of power in the region. It was a huge mistake but one we must run from , not to.

That is why I agree with exNYer. He seems to understand that getting in the middle of that mess is a huge waste of our resources.

Obama has succeeded in getting us almost into war. Iran is breaking off relations with Saudi Arabia and Dubai. Iran has a much larger army and air force than does Saudi Arabia and Dubai. Their military is basically a place for some prince or friend of a prince to play soldier until they take over for their aged father. Saudi Arabia and Dubai have always relied on the US for protection. What do you think the first Gulf War was all about? So now the US (after reducing the size of it's military) may have to defend 8,000 miles away two countries from Iran. So what does Iran do? They can either go it alone, make a deal with Israel, or (more likely) put together a deal with Russia.
In the mean time, Russia is talking about problems in Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania. Problems that only a Russian invasion can solve.
North Korea says it can attack the US. China is building a second aircraft carrier and they only have to defend their coastline, not police the world, and they are still building those armed islands in the South China Sea.

Yep, Obama has allowed things to get out of hand in three parts of the world while continuing to reduce our navy, air force, and ground forces.

You don't read up on anything before you "share" with us, do you?

The Saudis have been bombing and fighting in Yemen for the past 9 months. From what I hear, it's not going well for them. Yet you think they could destroy Iran (a far more formidable foe that even Israel is reluctant to attack without US help) in short shrift? You're fucking clueless.

This is yet another hysterical thread by our resident genius.

How do you sink an island Munchkin? We on the other hand have to put some very valuable equipment half way around the world to project power while at the same time projecting power in the Persian Gulf and Med.

You know, it's times like this that make me believe that Munchkin has never seen the inside of any military base (except for his super secret, crack suicide unit)
