  1. Boeing & technical issues.....(I might end up getting additional insurance the next time I fly...people in my will might as well have more money to spend ).
  2. "@vermontgmgReminder that as this crisis escalates, we have no Director of National Intelligence, no Dep Dir, no Homeland Security Secretary, no Dep Sec, no head of CBP or ICE, no State Dept Under Sec of Arms Control, no Asst Sec for Europe, and no Navy Sec." "Only the best people"......
  3. Probably why they launched those missiles knowing it wouldn't cause much damage. It was all for show (and they needed to show some kind of response). Next step depends on what Bone Spurs does next (eg., escalate it further or not).
  4. You do realize that Wargames was fictional right? (I'm just kidding....in times like this, a little levity is generally needed )
  5. Wonder how much intelligence the Iraqis might've passed on to the Iranians regarding 'targets'. Granted, given their past history, probably not likely.
  6. Isn't their political situation kind of in a mess right now? Nothing like a little war to solidify things/fix things for Netanyahu to make the corruption/bribery stuff to temporarily 'go away'.
  7. Yeah I agree with NUCKER67. You aren’t going to get anything of substance for a guy with two whole NHL games under his belt (one of which he **** the bed though that wasn’t his fault as he was thrown to the wolves). Better we keep him in case we lose a goalie in the expansion draft.
  8. I cut Ronnie a little slack there because of that aforementioned affliction. I wish nobody suffer from that horrible illness.
  9. Hey what better way to make money...why discriminate and just supply both sides! I believe that’s the Ferengi 52nd rule of acquisition.
  10. Hockey gods really have it in for us. True, we still would've lost against that team stacked with hall of famers but losing your best D (not to mention team Captain) before the start of the post-season in 1982, is like going into battle with one arm tied behind your back. It was a fluke injury as well that took him out (I *think* it was an accidental collusion with another teammate in practice).
  11. Yeah a few years before my time as well just am amazed how such a series can be successful given the political environment at the time. Granted, it was (from what I gather) more 'camp' than 'serious'.
  12. To be fair though, you have to look at their target audience. Of COURSE they're going to alter some facts (sometimes obliterate all the facts lol) to make the movie more "palatable' to this target audience. Still, you get movies or TV shows that attempt to go 'outside the box'. Look at the following old TV series "The Man from UNCLE". At pretty much the height of the cold war, you've got the two main leads - one American agent & one Soviet agent protecting the world from "evil":
  13. It's "Hollywood". Here's another "Hollywoodized film": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U-571_(film)
  14. Should've done what you guys (eg. CIA) did in 1953 Iran. Take out the democratically elected government in Iran and install a stooge who'll 'follow orders' (probably a good reason the Iranians don't think much of you guys today...). Not saying remotely it was the right thing to do but if "in for a penny in for a pound".
  15. Outside the fact Libya at the time was a cluster**** as a result of the Arab spring events with major uprisings occurring throughout that country....where Obama really eff’d up was having no real plan about what to do afterwards. Don’t do something without an exit strategy.
  16. Paying back is a foreign concept to Urine man. Guys left more creditors holding the bag than putting a NDPer in charge of finances.
  17. Putin laughs and rubs his hands together thinking “I don’t have to do a thing and let Bone Spurs do his thing”. Best money spent (Russian hookers urinating on ‘Can I have a bottle of ketchup for my well done steak?’) lol.
