Enemy of our land, ping.
My guess is the good Dr. Dyer opposed our efforts to topple the USSR as well. Just another idiot liberal.
"we aren't living in our old superpower world anymore, one in which we are the leader of the forces of light against the evil dark powers of communism."
So what happened on 9/11 wasn't the work of an 'evil dark power'?
WHAT!PING!
The left = The Enemy Within™.
What the frack are the libs putting in the koolaid?!
Yes yes, we American's are all soft, our military's a paper tiger... yadda yadda yadda...
Sorry my friend, but America is only soft when a socialist domocrat is in the White House.. in my life twice this has happened and in both instances America was abused on the world stage by pathetically small dictators and thugs, not due to the inability or unwillingness of american's to take on a long fight, but due to leaders who didn't have the courage or conviction to do what was right.
And as to a paper tiger... please, any nation of the world (since most live under our umbrella of protection anyway... BRING IT.
This sounds like Howard Dean's message.
What does that sentence mean? Why would weak countries be using our military machine? What, do they rent it?
bump for later
He also thinks global warming is going to kill us all! The nut tree drops another...
No one who intends to be taken seriously would say something so ridiulous.
I wish he would have said this towards the beginning of the article, then I wouldn't have read the whole stupid thing.
I thought that's what they said about Afganistan where the Russians were thrown out on their ear. How could we possibly think we could succeed where they couldn't. Then it was Iraq think of all the tanks and Elite Republican Guards, why we won't have a chance. The desert sands will run with American blood. Yada yada yada, blah, blah, blah.
Never trust someone who says they have a simple solution to a complex system. Once again, Mr. Lessenberry, social secutity is paid by employees and employers. If you remove the cap, you will raise the burdon on businesses. They will either compensate for that by cutting wages or raising prices. So using your "simple solution" will contibute to inflation and higher unemployment. Great idea, jackhole.
…the author takes on the most frightening topic of all — the real condition of the American economy, which is now totally dependent on foreign investment.
Oh, so being a Ph.D. in Middle Eastern History makes him an economic expert? Obviously he is a crackpot, but helpful that he describes clearly the agenda that is supposed to stay under wraps.
Yep.
The only thing he didn't blame stuff on was the alien mother-ship remotely controlling his head. Needs a tin foil hat, he does.
Yea, we need to lose. That way the fine people of Iraq can go back to enjoying the right to be put in a plastic shredder or being blown up by Muslim fanatics.
Idiot. Regardless of 'degrees' from 3 countries. Idiot.
The world hasn't actually changed much - it's still the grubby, ruthless, cynical, lawless, violent place that it was even before human vanity chose to illustrate it otherwise. If, as Dyer does, you have the luxury of sitting in a warm office in a safe country and you squint just right, you see no difference between a Mugabe and a Bush. That does not mean that there isn't such a difference, only that through a combination of pig-headedness and ideology that you can't see one.
What's this "we" sh!t?
And where exactly was the BARF ALERT for this thread?
Just so everyones knows, the MetroTimes is a far left liberal rag which is distributed FREE around the area.
Good paper if your looking for classified which read "transvestites looking for couples or singles for fun and adventure"
