I bet they are on welfare. All of them. All of them are on canine welfare.

Definitely not as good as at home but functional without being raspy. Fold only. That bunching technique is idiotic, especially with lower quality TP.

You need to put the apples in the refrigerator.

Always put apples in the fridge. DWags is right

So why can I buy raw milk cheese at the store but now raw milk?

Those damned libruls want to keep the Amish dairy farmers down but I'll bet them Amish don't have them any of damned terrorist Egyptian dogs.

Good posts Vlad.

I'm not sure I agree with the narrative presented in this thread.

Missed or ignored key points about Iraq and Maliki in his first post. Kind of just OK.

Iraq and Malichi are kinda moot compared to the main contention.

Excellent question. Have wondered the same a few times.

Sorry, I haven't been following closely. Are those the names of 2-star recruits that Dantonio is going to turn into NFL talent?

You can argue and bitch about the accuracy of the minutia all you want. The main contention that "we have no friends in the Muslim world" is dead fucking on and the shit that you are talking about is 100% moot with regard to such.

Yes. When Jerry Kill and Bruce Weber were there. The last time either team was any good.

1. He missed key details on what happened in Iraq in respect to the rise of ISIS.
2. He equates ISIS with al-Qaeda. Distinctly different organizations with different goals.
3. Says we have no friends in the Muslim world, which is not true. Jordan immediately comes to mind. Many other states in the region are very much interested in terminating the threat that is ISIS
4. All of this contributes to a conversation on how to deal with the problem that is ISIS, which does not involve the same old counterterrorism strategies employed to fight al-Qaeda. Therefore, it is all relevant to the conversation.
5. Please carry on with your planned all night bender.

Well, you don't really seem mad, but it looked like you wanted to go all personal attack mode so I was trying to oblige.

That said, I am totally going to sleep easy tonight knowing Jordan and all 6 of their war planes gots our back, though! Thanks for reminding me! Whewww! I think Vlad oughta amend his contention to something way more accurate like "we got no Muslim frens cept fer Jordan, so suck it ISIS!!!!".

We should blow more shit up. Seemed to work before.

The argument was we have no friends. It was not we have weak friends. You're changing the argument so you can win the Internet before sleepy time. If you have not learned by now, only poster SD32453 wins the Internet.

I should have just stuck with "good posts vlad" and called it good.

At least my argument isn't "Hey man, moot shit matters, like a LOT!"

Was way too low key. Thermonuclear carpet bombing with overlapping craters is the only long term solution.

There you go again...trying to downplay things that do matter because they undermine the point you want to make.

I think we should close our borders, but once a year offer a chance to come in if you find a ticket made out of gold in a bar of chocolate.

More of the world would be buying our chocolate so it would be good for our economy. Plus if more of the world is consuming chocolate, they would be getting fatter and then Americans wouldn't seem as fat in comparison any more.

Generalities are generally correct. I don't have time for your complexities that don't really fucking matter.

Why did the US discover success in Iraq in 2007? Because of the Bush administration's surge policy and the "Sunni Awakening" that followed, where 40+ Sunni tribes fought with US forces against al-Qaeda Iraq. Today, Qaeda Iraq is known as ISIS. It is possible to build strategic partnerships in the fight against ISIS. The argument the US has no regional partners in this fight is flat out false.

Edit: In the interest of transparency, many of those Sunni tribes now fight with ISIS. I have to think this has something to do with the divisive way Maliki governed, but also because of the power vacuum created with the withdrawal of American forces.

This board is really good at one thing: Reading what I post, and then letting me know what I ACTUALLY meant to say.... It's so easy to become more informed around here.

If what turtleneck says is true, they all pretty much love us. This makes no sense to me..... Why would they like us so much if we bomb the fuck out of them? I don't get it.
