  1. I agree it's there fill it up. Other countries in the world have no problem with terrorists being interrogated why is the USA. Remember the last five released are now actively engaging in terrorist acts. :angry: All because of a POS..POTUS.
  2. So the crybabies are coming out of the woodwork because they can no longer line their pockets with monies allocated for the reconstruction of the provinces affected by Daash. It goes to show some are not in line with getting the whole of Iraq back on it;s feet. Just my take.
  3. Let's hope they keep moving in the forward direction by passing and approving all the laws. This is the most progress made by the Iraqi government in the past eight years . See what happens when they elect a president that is willing to move forward for his country and not himself.
  4. Put an end to this group. Seems Jordan is the only country that wants to stop ISIL. Most of the other Arab nations are watching, (cowards ) because they don't want the war to come to them. It's their circus and their monkeys. They need to take care of business.
  5. Read the book many years ago in school as a reading assignment, when reading was a part of homework.
  6. I believe Yota mentioned it could be a preparation for the new currency .
  7. Wonder if they will share this info with the World banks to inform all the banks with these so called new techniques.
  8. Jordan’s King Abdullah ibn al-Hussein, who has trained as a pilot, may fly a bomber himself on Thursday in the country’s retaliation against the ISIS. Several Arabic-language newspapers reported late Wednesday that the monarch would personally participate in bombing raids on the terrorist group, citing his vow Tuesday to “strike them in their strongholds.” The king was in Washington when news broke Tuesday of pilot Muadh al-Kasasbeh’s demise at the hands of ISIS extremists. Meeting with the House Armed Services Committee shortly before leaving for Amman, he reportedly quoted the Clint Eastwood’s film “Unforgiven” and said that Jordan would pursue the jihadis until it ran “out of fuel and bullets.” Rep. Duncan Hunter, who was in the meeting, told Fox News that given the ruler’s immediate and vehement reaction, “King Abdullah is not President Obama.” Jordan, which has been a key American ally in the air war against ISIS, killed a number of ISIS-affiliated prisoners early Wednesday, as it had promised should Kasasbeh turn out to be dead, prior to the news of his immolation. Some have warned that the terrorist group deliberately deployed news of Kasasbeh’s fate in order to provoke a Jordanian overreaction. But public outcry in Jordan before and after the news seems to have pressured the government into a strong response, regardless of strategy. (RELATED: Jordan To Retaliate For Pilot Killed By ISIS)
  9. Hope the driver got out. That was some dangerous stuff and people were watching as the missiles took off. Yikes
  10. WASHINGTON (AP) - In 1942, they were lumberjacks, miners, hunters and farmers from the United States and Canada, who came together at a U.S. Army base in Montana. Within a few months, they were well-trained warriors who went on to become one of the deadliest commando units in World War II. Nicknamed the Devil's Brigade for their fierce tactics and practice of wearing black boot polish on their faces, the unit excelled during nighttime raids that featured mountain climbing, amphibious landings and parachute jumps. On Tuesday, Congress awarded surviving members of the Devil's Brigade the Congressional Gold Medal, its highest civilian award. A crowd of about 700, including about 40 living members of the brigade, attended the hour-long ceremony at the Capitol Visitor Center. The 1,800-member unit, officially known as the First Special Service Force, included 900 Americans and an equal number of Canadians who specialized in hand-to-hand combat and mountain warfare. By the time the war ended, the brigade had captured more than 30,000 prisoners, won five U.S. campaign stars and eight Canadian battle honors - and played a key role in the 1944 liberation of Rome from German forces. "These men saved the free world," said a tearful House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. The group's achievements were all the more remarkable for how quickly they came together, Boehner said, noting that the unit was activated in July 1942, completed its first mission in 1943 and disbanded in December 1944. The brigade is the precursor of modern special forces such as the Green Berets. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said members of the Devil's Brigade excelled in rock climbing and amphibious assault. "They advanced on skis and through the air. They survived by stealth and trained in demolitions. Some of their more daring mission plans would have made James Bond blush," McConnell said. "But this isn't just some Hollywood script," he said. "It's a true story about a fearless group of young Canadians and Americans ... who were willing to put their lives on the line in the truest sense of the term. Through it all, they helped save a continent in chaos." Eugene Gutierrez Jr. of Texas, who enlisted in the Army in 1941, joined the Devil's Brigade a year later. He fought in the coastal city of Anzio, Italy, in 1944 and later helped liberate Rome. Gutierrez accepted the gold medal, specially made by the U.S. Mint, on behalf of his fellow brigade members living and dead. "Guess what? They delivered," Gutierrez said. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called the brigade members "heroes" who "helped free the world of tyranny." The group also stands as a "shining example" of the abiding friendship between Canada and the United States, two countries that "stand as one," said Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla, chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee.
  11. I've said it before and I will say it again. The USA is getting closer and closer to a " POLICE STATE", and the American people are just ignoring it by doing nothing. JMHO.
  12. The puppets in the House and Senate are too comfortable in their own little domain to raise a stink. To do so would jeopardize their comfort style of living off the American people. The fear of upsetting the" Apple Cart ". I agree with Bette White on this one.
  13. I fear the USA is getting closer and closer to a " POLICE STATE". So sad, but then again the people are letting them get away with it by not contacting their state Representatives to put a stop to these over-reaching government strong-arm tactics.
  14. This " SOON" looks like it could be between 2015 and 2018. Hmmmmm I hope not.
  15. Huh, thought it was a done deal, get the wrench out of there, have a seat and let's march on.
  16. Well that was an interesting take on the money havens. Wonder what that will do to the aftermath of the RV when most will be buying up as much precious metals as one can. Thanks for bringing this post in as it was an excellent read and a different view on safe money havens.
  17. Will the stupidity of these so called higher educated educators ever stop. Theses are supposed to be people with masters degrees in education. Oh wait, these degrees have to come from on line courses because surely professors can't be teaching this stuff, or can they. Thanks for the story pluMmet. I am glad I didn't have to learn during this time period as I would have been permanently barred from even entering a school.
  18. Very well written and to the point. All the fluff is missing and all that's left is the " meat and potatoes". Hilarious
  19. I'm all out of breath as I always am after reading the posts. Jaygo you're absolutely correct in your assessment to read the last couple paragraph to get the gist of the post.
  20. Oldie but very true, thanks moose.
