@FroggyRuminatesIt services a market, the advertisers are spending the money. If the wannabees want to pay him their money to join his Team Room well that's their damage.

A lot of the 'silent professionals' aren't very silent anymore. 

Are you mad you didn't think of it first? Or are you looking out for the poor sheeple?

Best guess, Kim will have to attack; but it will be a) another small island shelling so as to limit the SK blow-back or b) unconventional attack with plausible deniability.

Just enough to show his mettle, not enough to get vaporized, and the dance continues.

@Old PH2 Agree, {see post below} my best guess is in theory those items could drop an aircraft. Anything item when viewed through that lens it gets a lot of people nervous. 

 That or pretense to drop the hammer on U.S. citizens doing naughty things.

This clown aside, what a sad joke that an RPG is in the same classification as a multi-warhead ICBM. That's some good lawyering.

I'd drop it down to a 'weapon of destruction', not as sexy I know.

Established new organizations are scrambling to keep up with the Blogoshpere and in doing so rush the scoop and try to get stories circulated regardless of the truth and the credibility of their story. It makes them look less responsible than 'amateur' blogs that have the REAL information and REAL integrity, such as SOFREP. Pretty interesting times for journalism. "Keep it tight."

“There is no helicopter today that is as quiet." And that was mission in 1972, and built before then. 

 Why does that sentence bother me so much?

"supporting and encouraging terrorist attacks on US soil, including the attempted assassination of President George H. W. Bush"

That wasn't on U.S. soil, that was in Kuwait.

"There is no higher good than the good of the tribe. The good of anyone outside the tribe is of minimal importance."

Then why did they let foreign jihadis into their communities?

"We stuck to our timetables and our mission briefs, regardless of the situation on the ground, and the enemy got around us."

No we didn't, we extended the mission multiple times, we didn't stop combat operations when we announced combat operations had ceased. We changed policies multiple time to try to get a hold on the situation.

No mention of disbanding the Armed Forces of Iraq by Paul Bremer and his snazzy combat boots? Quite possibly the biggest, earliest single blunder?

It sounds like the only success of invading Iraq was we were able to choose the battle space and bring the jihadis to our fight. That cost $1,000,0000,000 and thousands of U.S. service members. That's a damn expensive battle space.

 @Tango9You notice how we weren't the Great Satan until the Soviets went away? Always finding someone else to blame for their own problems. I think this fellow said it the best.

 @Tango9 Oh come on, Chinese allies are laughing at you Tango. You think China's doing the NORKs any favors for real? Myanmar? They live in the stone age.

 

Canada and GB, Japan you never had it better! And the don't get me started on those Estonians, they love us. You try and pull the KFCs out of India, never happen.

 

And you don't pay them for sex, you pay them to leave afterwards.

@Tango9@aezino With respect to Iraq however it was obvious scope creep and took eyes, barrels and bombs off UBL; not a pincer movement against Iran (I've heard that argument as well).
