The Economist put him on the cover dressed in Bush's flight suit.
"I can't be another Bush---I'm a Nobel Peace Laureate."

I’m certainly no expert on what took place, but it seems to me that those compounds would have served as barracks as well as meeting places. It would seem to me that you could catch a sizable number of people in one place if they were sleeping on site.
I think the guest is trying to address what he sees as a valid point, one that we would agree with if he is right. I’m just not convinced he is.
West Point graduated this one a little slow on the uptake.
Here is my comment on an earlier FR thread discussing the bombings;
The missiles targeted training camps, a bomb factory, a communication building, and command-and-control facilities belonging to what Washington calls "the Khorasan Group".
That should read: The missiles targeted empty training camps, an empty bomb factory, an empty communication building, and and empty command-and-control facilities belonging to what Washington calls "the Khorasan Group".
After all we wouldn't want to actually kill these people. -tom
Night attack minimizes risk to aircraft. I have no idea if ISIS is suffering loses or not.
I recall that Bill Clinton sent cruise missiles into an empty Iraqi military building at night in response to some event that Saddam did. It could have been the assassination attempt on former President G. H. W. Bush, but may have been something else.
Does anyone else remember that?
This stuff is only too obvious to me. They want to fight a war, but they don’t want to hurt anybody. As if fighting a kinder, gentler war will accomplish anything. If anything, we have to fight a harder, more brutal war. If you start a war, you have to be made to pay a price. Otherwise, nothing will change.
#1) ISIS accountants would love this because of the unused or unspent portion of the card would remain in the control of ISIS.#2) Real payroll costs will come in way under budget. #3)Obama can't bomb empty buidings just to diminish their call-in centers and AS-400 servers doing automatic batch runs at midnight. Hellfire missiles @ $5,000 per copy will actually kill the enemy instead of punch holes in the roof of their empty office buildings.
I am not familiar with the site.. but I am familiar with W.W. II. It was the last time the Allies won a war.
The combatants didn't cut off heads they blasted the enemy military and civilians into tiny bits and cinders.
The Allies did it better. It's war. We won.
The Khorasan Group stumped me at first until I figured out it’s an AKA for al Qaeda.
After all, Obama told us al Qaeda was wiped out, so they can’t very well show up again, unless it’s under another name.
I saw Co. Peters saying this live - don’t think I’ve ever seen him more angry.
Our government is insane and we’re all having to pay for it.
Stupid stupid lo-fo’s!!!!
Doing the same thing in Iraq......
No doubt it was so they wouldn’t kill any. Everyone knows that at night they’re in the pasture with their goats

After all, isn't that what he and the left have been blaming Israel for all these years?
He LIES about it!
Saw this - was from last weekend I think.
RE: Kosovo
The press allowed Bill Clinton to commit war crimes against the people of Serbia
"Serbia did not pose any threat to the U.S. . . . the liberal media never once questioned Clinton's motives nor do they to this day . . . Bill Clinton convinced NATO to join in the fight against the people of Serbia . . .The air-war . . . targeted civilians . . . schools, hospitals, churches, office buildings, and private homes. They even bombed a nature park! In Belgrade, all three bridges which spanned the Danube were destroyed. They knocked out power and water to the Serbs. The bombing went on for 79 days."
As I recall, bombing civilians was deliberate and meant to force them to oust their leader (Slobodan Milosevic) who had refused to resign. Clinton and Albright could not get him to resign so they "had" to bomb the civilians to get them to oust Milosevic.
