We have to conduct raids to get the bad guys, why would we make Somalia their safe zone?
Active Duty ping.
They’re just recruiting more cab drivers for Minneapolis.....
I was on the Peleliu. I remember us lining up with the other international armada nut-to-butt and, cruising parallel with each other, then turning east and sailing away.
I was like, “What the hell kind of symbolic wannabee crap is this?!?!”
jOkeass is going to get a lot of people killed.
The Bolshies make a lot of polls show that no one wants to get involved in wars, but, I think no one wants to follow zerO anywhere. I will follow Allen West into hell. ObOzO thinks the only way to win is cheat.
Did you forget Pakistan? This time the chaos could go nuclear. It seems the lunatics are seizing upon America’s ‘out to lunch’ stance under 0bama.
Exactly what happens when the World’s chief cop goes on either a perpetual vacation or is way in over his head to deal with such crises and suddenly hope and change is no longer an organizing principle. Instead its a jerky-jerky response to every situation, a tactic if such be it, just like what community organizers are used to doing. ACORN training does not work in international affairs affecting American interests.

So let's get behind the troops whenever they hit terrorists hard (and al-Shabbab are the most worthless pieces of :s: on the face of the earth outside of ISIS and Boko Haram), even if we continue to do everything within our power to undo the Obama administration, if it means forcing him from office and putting up with Uncle Joe for the closing months of that eight year plague.
Go Troops. Get some!
And North Korean provocations of late, too. Launching missiles into the Sea of Japan to rattle our biggest ally in the world.
“We are assessing the results of the operation and will provide additional information as and when appropriate,”
Translation: We need to see how big a boost his approval rating gets.
Ain’t that just dandy.
Nope, stealth bombers loaded with 100 megaton nuclear warheads. /s
Obama's numbers are in the tank. The last act is to hide behind the military.
Obama to Join Chiefs late last week: “I really need a bump in the polls. What do ya got?”

The peration in Somalia was without risk. A headline was written......
