#5 If you drained the swamp to begin with the fauna doesn't return to the pond. However, that would be 'evil' and nasty and icky.

#6 Got yer answer right here Leon old boy. Put the entire culture to the sword. Lay waste to the cities, power grids, airports, roads, poppy fields, and dams. Turn the air black with contrails until there is no longer any movement on the ground, no electronic signals, or electric lights.

Our departure should be locked into their collective memories.

#8 Beating a dead horse? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result each time?

#9 I think the problem with sci-fi analogies is, a sci-fi epic is thought out. The stuff going on in our foreign and military policy post WW II, not so much.

#13 Maybe, just maybe, if we didn't buy the religion of peace bullsh*t so readily we could identify who should be carefully screened before allowing them in our country and we wouldn't need to go there and blow up their little sh*tholes. And if we were thorough in focusing on the people of that persuasion already here at the first hint of radicaliztion, the really peaceful ones who didn't want sharia law and just wanted to be American would be safe and productive citizens. Act like Hungary, close the borders, limit new immigration and defend the American culture and way of life! Peace Through Strength. Duh!

#15 Yup, just as predicted. They're fucking PISSED that their war is over. They're foaming at the mouth to start it up again. This isn't over until the real government (i.e. them) says it is.

Honestly I'm surprised the Pentagon obeyed the executive on this. The last time it happened, they flat-out refused orders. They were close to declaring the President an enemy of the state for doing it, too.

#19 There is a difference between sending some guys over to "mow the lawn" once in a while and establishing a permanent residence.
