Feb 2016

Probably better than a one-note wonder who doesn't know that Iran and Saudi Arabia are MADem Feb 2016 #1

Yes Saudi Arabia is that adversary we provide billions of $ in weapons systems each year. Cheese Sandwich Feb 2016 #3

And telling them to team up with their adversary is the way to roll! MADem Feb 2016 #19

Whew...you missed the point all together. George II Feb 2016 #56

Would Obama call Iran our adversary now? nt grasswire Feb 2016 #5

So what? Egypt and Israel have been at peace for over 36 years. Motown_Johnny Feb 2016 #25

What does that have to do with what I just said? MADem Feb 2016 #29

It is about your conclusion and my ability to question it. Motown_Johnny Feb 2016 #30

No. You just completely changed the subject and expected me to not say anything about that. MADem Feb 2016 #35

It was an example of people being wrong about enemies in the middle east. Motown_Johnny Feb 2016 #37

Hillary does only Neo-Conservative foreign policy. Motown_Johnny Feb 2016 #26

DITTO. Hillary is a neoconservative HAWK on foreign policy, John Poet Feb 2016 #33

It scares the shit out of me. MADem Feb 2016 #31

Fear, the real reason to support Hillary. Motown_Johnny Feb 2016 #34

She is always in favor of military action. Motown_Johnny Feb 2016 #13

Ummm...foreign policy is a fluid situation. JaneyVee Feb 2016 #16

She has a lot of experience with being on the wrong side of history Betty Karlson Feb 2016 #20

She has no genuine foreign policy instincts of her own. TwilightGardener Feb 2016 #21

Please stop digging a hole too deep to get out of. That's just the most absurd statement I've seen MADem Feb 2016 #47

I know she knows that. My point being that the no fly zone is nuts. Motown_Johnny Feb 2016 #48

No fly zones work beautifully if all the players cooperate. MADem Feb 2016 #49

But you are the one who argues that adversaries can't work together! Motown_Johnny Feb 2016 #50

Russia and the USA are superpowers, not regional actors. MADem Feb 2016 #51

Which is why I mentioned Turkey, who already shot down a Russian plane. n/t Motown_Johnny Feb 2016 #52

That encroached in THEIR air space. Back in NOVEMBER. MADem Feb 2016 #53

But a no fly zone would be asking for more of these incidents. Motown_Johnny Feb 2016 #55
