U.S. is bombing Syria

[_bruce_]

Obama needs a good kick to the head - what a smug asshat.

[240 is Back]

So why will Rush spend his day serving Dem interests by avoiding ISIS discussion?  

LOL RUSH AND REPUBS DONT WANT TO TALK ABOUT ISIS now that he's bombing them.  Cause they'll be on record, saying it won't work, or saying it's too violent, or saying we need thousands of troops on ground, we need to invade syria...

There's no easy spot for them.   They HAVE to agree with half of what he's doing, and thye hate doing that.

Go back, there's always a big latte-style debate every time they have to agree with obama on things.  Yep.  It's true.

[Nails]

All is quiet. Most of the attacks have stopped. They've run out of targets and most of the terrorists have integrated into the general population. Oh wait. I think I said that might happen on the other board. Damn, where is Commander 240 when you need him?

Obama found and killed osama bin Laden , something Bush was never able to do, he will let you know when its mission accomplished again

Obama needs a good kick to the head - what a smug asshat.

uproar about obama saluting with a cup of coffee in his hand. Yet no uproar over this picture. I am not saying that Obama is a good president, but it is quite obvious people are going to call him out for things he does, yet ignore similar behavior of other presidents.

Head down, buried in face of dog. Not too classy either.

[240 is Back]

yeah, a cup of coffee in the hand is easily forgotten.  How many of us will dial a call, unlock house/car, and do a million other things and realize "I still have a cup of coffee in my hand".

Toss in, if he STARTS to salute, then stops because of the coffee, then voila, he hates the troops.

FACE IT - this issue is being driven by RIGHT WING RADIO for good reason - They don't want to talk about the ISIS Syria bombings.  If the bombings work, they want to be able to say of course they supported killing bad guys.  If the bombings fail, they want to be able to say they were against it all along.  SO spending half their show talking about LatteGate means they're not on record on Syria.  It's just smart politics.

Uh........

Obama had fuck-all to do with finding and killing Bin Laden.  Our intelligence community found him and our Special Forces killed him.  It's been documented that he was found because of interrogation techniques that Obama personally opposed.  Obama said it was torture.  He actually wanted to close down Guantanamo, bring all those Islamist cockroaches here, and give them lawyers. 

It's great that Bin Laden is dead but I'm a little offended by Obama strutting around taking credit for it.

[Fuzzy Nuts]

The saluting thing is a joke. Anyone that's been in the military knows that a superior officer doesn't have to return your salute. Try telling an officer you don't like their salute...good luck.

The salute of the soldier on the left looks a little weak to me for an honor guard type.

I agree.  This is petty shit to make a big deal out of regardless of who is doing it.  Does it look bad?  Yes, but there is plenty of other huge issues with severe consequences to give Obama shit about right now.

[The Abdominal Snoman]

Don't hom0's salute each other before they dock

[El Diablo Blanco]

Republicans don't know what position to take here.  Senate voted 75-20 to arm the freakin rebels?   lol!  

So they are going to spend this week yelling about a lattee salute.  it means they don't have to criticize obama for syria bombing, in case it works out well, and they don't want recordings saying they were against it.  

Repubs don't know what they want when it comes to isis and syria, they just want to shit on obama.  So let's focus on latte salutes and make it about Bush vs. obama with bush holding a dog for salute... then we don't have to talk about the repubs positions on ISIS/Syria

Winners again are the military contractors.  Northrup, GA, SAIC etc....  They all make weapons but only sell them when there's war.

They bombed an oil field today. Try again.

They bombed an oil field today. Try again.

For ISIS, which is now the wealthiest terrorist group in the world, oil is a key source of riches. ISIS is believed to have taken control of hundreds of oil wells in Syria from both the government and moderate rebels, and the Syrian regime of President Bashar al-Assad has said it has lost about $4 million in stolen oil amid the country's ongoing civil war.

ISIS, meanwhile, earns as much as $2 million per day illegal selling oil, Central Command said. The group produces anywhere between 300-500 barrels of refined petroleum per day.

"These small-scale refineries provided fuel to run ISIL operations, money to finance their continued attacks throughout Iraq and Syria, and an economic asset to support their future operations," Central Command said.

According to Janine Davidson and Emerson Brookings of the Council on Foreign Relations, ISIS has access to "a volume of resources and territory unmatched in the history of extremist organizations." And according to the Brookings Institute, ISIS controls about 60% of Syria’s oil fields and several oil-producing assets in Iraq.

Waste of time and money. The retard in chief strikes again.

Let me guess. You thought Bush Jr. was an articulately spoken, intelligent man, who was a great leader, right?

The U.S / Saudis want to overthrow Assad to run a pipeline through Syria into Europe.  You try again.

Yeah. I was gonna say what you said. Isis has to be stripped of its finances. I could be wrong, but the illegal oil operation that ISIS has probably pissed off some Arab Oil Tycoons.

Not just Arabs.  Don't forget that the USA sold rights to Iraqi oil to Shell, Texaco and BP to manage.
