You think those views are over-represented in today’s media?

Big government socialism is the overarching theme, the only other two specific issues they seem care about are gay and feminist causes.

FNC has shown there is a huge underserved market of normal people out there, so the leftwing media's goal is ideological, not monetary. I'm surprised the ideologues have held off newroom reforms as long as they have.

We are clearly looking at a mental disorder here. Psychological counseling sessions most often begin with “I can’t stop (fill in the blank). I need help.” I think as a first step we need to send NATO military aid in the form of cases of Depends for their leading generals and politicians. They likely have a problem with their urination and defecation, which is causing an embarrassment.

And with Turkey going even further Islamic, it’s going to get even harder for NATO to work effectively.

“How in the hell does one have air superiority over the battlespace, and not have the ability to destroy artillery??”

Rules of engagement....

Without infantry backed armor, air superiority can’t stop arty.

Small artillery spread out over a wide area, with many fake units, you expand all of your bombs and get one now and then. The most of them keep doing their job and they move every few rounds.

and trying to take out three men mortar units is just peeing in the wind. Not to mention small rocket launchers on pick up trucks moving all the time. Smart bombs are designed to use on stationary target and very slow moving ones.

I wonder if the reason they can't stop Khaddafi’s forces is because they are co-located with civilian housing or hospitals? Maybe they should ask the Israelis for advice on that? Or the troops in Iraq and AF who dealt with this for the last 10 years?

Or would that be politically incorrect?

Ronald Reagan is credited with bringing about the collapse of the Warsaw Pact. Baraq Obama will be credited with bringing about the collapse of NATO.

I’m not being a smartass here, but i don’t follow. Are you saying infantry has to go in and take out the crews before we can drop a JDAM on their positions? I thought that was the whole point of developing precision munitions.

Unfortunatly, that POS is the representative of the US.

It is hard to take.

He talks on TV or appears in video clips. The TV gets turned off at my house.
