Come on now, I think it's well established that anything coming out of our talking heads in the white house is a big stinking sack of BS.

I've read stroies about how young Afghans have tried to get out of Afghanistan the same way, paying someone to smuggle them out. Sometimes they are taken as far as across the Iranian border, where they get dropped off and then arrested by the Iranians. Some take months to get to Europe, and when they get there, they expect to get free housing and a job, plus any other benefits they can think of. Problem is, when they don't get what they want, they claim they are being treated unfairly, and start trouble, rioting in some places.

Don't know whether you want to help them or send them back?

Are in need of help

As many of you may have seen. There is a picture of some officer with some paper in front of his face. This picture have even been posted in this thread

I know it's not real as T. S stated

Many of my friends have shared this picture and I really want to tell them, it is a fake. I know it is. I just can't say why. I could use T.S and Platapus words but would that be enough?

We have plenty of sheep. (still a bit irradiated granted, but probably safer than depleted uranium rounds)

We'd have to ask the Welsh Assembly for permission to being the conscription, but I think you've got a good idea there.

You know that, I know that...I guess we'll find out if Congress knows that over the next few days.

I think we both know the answer to that one...

Catch-22, of course, some people will state that the best thing to do is send them straight back or put them in camps or something, but immigration is as old as humanity, to them the streets of Western Europe are paved with gold, it is basically the new world for them, just as many saw America, and just like many who went to America, not all of them survive the experience. Unfortunately some nations, such as the UK, are getting to the point where immigration is becoming a social problem, and when that happens you get radicalisation of both sides and bad things occur.
I don't have the answer, but I know that if I was a young Afghan or Syrian who wanted to get away from the bloodshed and fighting, and take my family to a place where everything is supposed to be better then I wouldn't hesitate to get across Europe to the UK or France or wherever.

I dunno Oberon. By that standard the weed killer you use on your crab grass is a chemical weapon.

True, but you spray that on the grass, not on your neighbour.

Idiots. One and all.

Obama gains Boehner's support for Syria strike

I loved watching the video on that news story, with the two big government statists from the Peoples Republic of California.

We have the best government money can buy; they'll find a way to get us into another war - one way or another. (insert long string of colorful expletives here)

Secretary of State John Kerry, lead-off witness at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, said, "President Obama is not asking America to go to war.

LYING SACK OF ****.

The Russians have dispatched another ship to the Med, the AGI Priazovye.

Looks like they are going to get some good old fashion snooping done.

Just like the good old days. Wonder how many times F-18s will buzz it?

mapuc · 09-03-13, 03:28 PM

Have any of you wondered what will happen if the Congress turns Obama's demands/wishes down ?

A lot of anger and shouting between both sides, and then Obama will probably bomb anyway.

So basically, business as usual in America.

eddie · 09-03-13, 03:45 PM

I have to laugh at the Syrian Foreign Minister, who says if they are attacked, Syria could lash out at Turkey and Israel. My question for that jerk would be, what kind of response do you think you would get from Turkey and Israel? There aren't a lot of Christians living in either country, so I don't think turning the other cheek would apply in this situtation!

If he do, what do you think could happen next ? Yes Israel and Turkey will of course response, what else?
