But seriously I don't have time to read all these posts because I gotta get back to work because I'm a proletariat who has to support the pinko commie party machine that tells everybody who should be the haves and the have nots and which persons to call dirty scum sucking maggots who live off the mothers tit of society while we working people pay our taxes to support the bombing and raping of the innocents like our politicians tell us to do in the name of patriotism and fighting terrorism go Niners.

Fear,
They are not messing with the oil shipments either. The choke points at either end of the canal would be a great place to sink a couple supertankers if they really wanted to get some attention.

Lyndon and Andrew Johnson had Johnsons too.

Why, chief? Because I wanted to. Excluding your keyboard diarrhea, there were several interesting posts.

Edit: btw, you've been proven to be a liar and hypocrite many times. So quit trying to climb on a high horse, it's too tall for you.

I heard an excellent bit on NPR yesterday where the Saudi Intel head was really laying it on the line. Dude was straight up and no BS. He called
out the Euros for being the limp-wristed worthless lot they usually are.

A Saudi calling Euros limp wristed? That's f*#king rich right there. I've rarely met bigger pussies in my whole life than Saudis....

They won't do that RB, it is probably their oil in them tankers. One of their primary sources of revenue.

Nonsense.... although that's what's been reported it again doesn't make sense. First there wouldn't be enough oil moved through the few fields they control to pay for 10% of their burn rate. Feeding/watering/arming/fixing/motivating that many people fighting in a harsh environment would be millions of dollars every day not counting the losses incurred from conflicts.

To "sell the oil" requires complex accounts to be setup. Tankers do not arrive with bags of cash or gold spontaneously.

Pumping/refining/transporting/selling lots of oil is again very complex involving thousands of knowledgeable people and not something beheading "Muslim Monsters" would have the knowledge or time to do.

Rotton from the ground up....

Well, Survival, I wasn't generalizing, I'll leave that to the PC crowd.
I was talking about that one guy and what he said. You have to hand it
to the Saudis for being able to get us to do their dirty work.

Hypocrite Dirtbag? Where?

Lol. Too funny. Dude, at least make this challenging.

Low hanging fruit coming up (this gem is located in his next sentence):

See, there's them attacks again. Right on cue.



Yes, we know you never ever ever ever attack anyone.

Ok, back to work I go. It's been fun but I need to generate some tax money so the Feds can pay chief, and he can keep his internet service turned on.

Progressive politicians and pundits trying to cope with ISIS lapse into a shrill incoherence that has nothing to do with their outrage at its atrocities and a lot to do with their sheer incomprehension. Terms like “apocalyptic nihilism” get thrown around as if heavy metal were beginning to make a comeback.

Those few analysts who admit that the Islamic State might be a just a little Islamic emphasize that it’s a medieval throwback, as if there were some modern version of Islam to compare it to.

Journalists trying to make sense of ISIS demanding Jizya payments and taking slaves ought to remember that these aren’t medieval behaviors in the Middle East. Not unless medieval means the 19th century. And that’s spotting them a whole century. Saudi Arabia only abolished slavery in 1962 under pressure from the United States.

Instead of this verbal ping pong, why don't some of you liberals here talk about how to solve and or react to issis..Or if we even should react to issis. And then what do you consider desirable attributes of issis types if any.

There been a lot of articles posted on this subject. The President talks about some ideas to help stem the tide of disaffected people joining the movement...it gets turned into a silly rightwing media deal about giving jobs to terrorists. Not remotely close to what he was talking about.

I posted an article about a potential military offensive in Mosul this spring. Another about US and Turkey training Syrian troops. Another about UK girls joining jihadist...wondering why this is attractive to them.

There's a couple for starters.

It's all Crap Locker.... Political OT's that is. Every single one of em.

Indeed The Chief...it is all crap. However, most of the posters only have one azzzhole through which to dump. Unfortunately, you must resemble Swiss cheese.

Yeah, Rick - it's totally me. I still laugh when I think about that meteorite picture you made of me in the north fork. Good times.

Why have I been kicked off forums? You familiar with that whole " wouldn't want to join a club that would have me as a member" concept, or however it goes? That's a good place to start, I'd imagine.

Love the flung crap on Susan's part.
Great double standard that prevails here. Good stuff.

Double standard? What double standard?

As far as I can tell, this entire thread consists of very little except poo-flinging. On everybody's part.

At least we do have that in common my friend. You been putting any more cars into the LEE VINING creek? ;/


Oh, it's not a concept. It is real. Evidenced by so much that goes on here on the ST. This thread being a prime example.

It's the Tribal thing. Know what I mean, B!

Haha, I get it. As you can probably guess, it's all Lulzy to me.

No more cars in the creek, although I will say - that event has scarred me for life - can barely stand to ride shotgun with anyone any more, especially in bad weather. Not saying that I would have steered it any better, but maybe I would have.

Haven't made it up once for LV, took a jaunt on McAdie last month, lake was frozen nice and thick. I remember you mentioned your lack of climbing recently. This...is definitely a serious bummer. Thank goodness for fly fishing and fast bikes, eh?
