Saved an eight year old from a fate worse than death.

Ive only been to one wedding. I didnt particularly like it but it wasnt too bad either. I was 6. Oddly its the only marriage in my family since my birth which has lasted.


Im not too surprised that this happened. Things like this have happened before and probably will again. Doesnt make it good or acceptable, but realistically does anyone expect anything to be done about it?

If you get an invitation to a Middle-Eastern destination wedding, don't go. And, no gift is required.
Got noisy neighbors? Put a wedding announcement in the 'columns' and be out of town that night.

So your parents married you off at 6 years old? That explains a lot of things.

I think it could be said that the drone didn't kill anyone. It was the person flying the drone who picked the target and aimed the weapons. The only difference between a drone and a B-52, besides the cost, is that the pilot of the drone could be a thousand miles away. The big difference of course is that the drone pilot is not risking his own life.

Capable was the term used. No wonder you lost the war as even Israel knows that if something goes up and goes bang and then comes down that it can be made to go up and then down before it goes bang.

That wasn't the word used and the Patriot IS NOT capable for ground to ground use numbnuts.

Not when it is going down over nothing.

BOOM!

But Syria... what a grind... what a slow grind... month after month... year after year...

All the rust aside I'll bet the ones who do reconstruction work have already included a BMW for everybody on the block, once that is repaired that is. Might as well make the streets wider and put the pedestrian cross walks on the 3rd floor. At first I thought is was Detroit, who has no hope of recovery.

Bring in some industrial rock crushers, add 20% unbaked clay and some short fiber flax or hemp fibers and cement strength building material with an R-20 value per 8" Add in some fiber-optics to catch the sunlight on the roof and the basements could grow tomatoes if that was desired. (other than the west shipping the mercury filled 'energy saving' crap) Sort of unlike a twister in the Americas except it gets repaired. Valhalla Reconstruction Hammers Ltd. We bring the hammers, you bring the wine.

What do you call it when the munition goes wild weasel on you, 'ground to oh heck' munitions?

If it was an ammo depot or you wanted something to look like a car bomb all you need is this type of hardware and in the newer ones some guy with a laser pointer could do the targeting so the crew that fires it can leave as soon as it is fired, rather than it being the invisible Israeli Air Force. All the billions spent on the cold war weapons are now replaced by gas in a mist (instead of a gel) and then toss in a match, what did they net out of that, about $17T? That is an example of the 'go big' thing.

What mistake? Helpless civilians are the prime targets for terrorists. Terror is a disease, this is how you spread it. Isn't science wonderful.

At least you removed all doubts about you being a full ****tard, in spades. The rest are about 20 ft behind you if they believe it was a mistake. Until they got to a wedding they had no idea where they were goin, the new trend is to target any group that reaches 12 or so.

Walter it's a good thing you weren't part of the exodus wars as you most likely believe rapes took place then (rather than they grew up as children and then got married and then lost their virginity). How many would you have raped for God and Country Walter?
Walter, a red, really!
You are just full of new tricks aren't you?

When that comes to a town near you it will be because hockey games bring on feelings of agression even if you watch just a little bit so the bombs will be before the end of 20 minutes of play.

I apologize MHZ, but my medication seems to have overpowered my reason and I cannot make sense of your message, at this time. I will repair to my couch till the unease passes. hugs and kisses

It means we better pay attention to how targets are selected because it will be how we get targeted. If idiots running things is what is causing your ailment I fear you will be on the couch for sometime. That they aren't very good at being bosses right now means them trying to become gods is a comedy you won't want to miss so enjoy the show.

Oops I accidentally gave Walter a thumbs up. Mistake I meant to give him a thumbs down since he can't possibly know the child was saved from a fate worse than death, perhaps the child would have grown up to save his or her country from extremists rather like Walter.
OK Walter you are a better aim than I am so have at it.

I think America has bigger problems than Fuzzy Wuzzies on the other side of the planet. Our response to the events of 9/11 has been counterproductive...I say this with deep regret. In our search for safety we have created a far more empowered federal govt. which has itself become a threat to individual liberty. The mutual hatred and recriminations in this country led us into figurative fatal error and enabled the election of a Manchurian Candidate in the form of Obama. All in all, I think bin Laden succeeded beyond his wildest dreams. I loved the United States with the greatest of passion, unwavering loyalty, and unquestioning obedience...until I realized that Uncle Sam had evolved into a creature of nightmares. Frankly, I don't see any reason to vote any more.

and I suppose in your mind, this makes murdering 15 innocents just fine.

I would lay odds that if those responsible for "collateral damage" started getting charged with murder, that there would be far less "collateral damage".
Satire and/or sarcasm is appreciated by the intelligent.
