    Show us the price-list (including the development and modernization , the service too) of your one drone and the price-list of training of one soldier. Just for comparison haw much the usa spent for killing only one Arab.

    Breaking News:


    Obama announces the burning of KFC in Lebanon is the last straw. He has ordered the closing of the US bases around the world and calling all his hero troops back home and closing the door now to saving the world. Tomorrow he is flying to Oslo to hand back his Nobel Peace Prize Medal but keeping the 1 million $ prize to buy a few plastic limbs for some veterans.

    Sorry to keep you waiting, but it was not exactly top secret. It was online on the tenth. Jihadis Threaten to Burn U.S. Embassy in Cairo

    Which got the info from here, dated September 8th.


    So there were known open source threats that were available a few days ago.

    I find it interesting that Romney condemned Obama for his response on the attacks many hours before they even happened. Somebody got their timing confused.

    US intelligence warned embassy in Egypt of concern about anti-Muslim film
    September 14th, 2012 - Concerned about the reaction to an anti-Muslim film that was gaining attention online, the U.S. intelligence community sent a cable to the embassy in Egypt warning of the concern, a U.S. official told CNN. It was sent 48 hours before the protests in Cairo and Benghazi in Libya, the official said.

    Anti-Muslim film promoter outspoken on Islam
    Thursday, September 13, 2012 - The public face for the anti-Muslim film inflaming the Middle East is not the filmmaker, but an insurance agent and Vietnam War veteran whose unabashed and outspoken hatred of radical Muslims has drawn the attention of civil libertarians, who say he's a hate monger.

    Drones beat troops on the ground any day. There would be no need for drones or troops if the barbarians simply stuck to murdering their own folk.

    That cost goes down with time as technology improves.

    A soldier, on the other hand, is more expensive in 2 ways.

    1) the cost of benefits over the period of his/her life

    2) the political cost of losing soldiers in conflicts

    Mechanized war removes most of the death from our side of the conflict. Admittedly, this is a scary thought considering how much easier it would be to sell a war under those conditions.

    Not to mention drones have a much much lower down time. They can fly for days 24 hour/day.
    Remote control warfare is in its infancy. In 10 years or so, manned fighter planes and bombers will be obsolete. Mobile armour will be able to roam the countryside, Automated sentries will patrol perimeters and automated scouts will provide intel. Its kind of creepy when you think about it.
    A vision of the ultimate evolution of unmanned warfare is Star Trek - A taste of armeggedon.

    Ya, I mean it isn't like we are involved in a war in the Middle East which has been escalated, or like Bin Laden was killed, or like we are constantly using drone attacks, or like we are propping up autocracy in the Gulf!!! You are right, all we seem to do is apologize!! :fart:


    PS. Obama's foreign policy SHOULD be loved by the right. It is just that braindead right-wing partisan hacks see only the D next to Obama's name and therefore feel the need to criticize no matter how irrationally!! Similarly braindead Democratic partisan hacks see the D next to Obama's name, and defend his hawkish foreign policy, the drone attacks, the surge in Afghanistan, etc.

    It is amusing, but I wouldn't say enjoy is the right word. You are right though. If Bush had overseen the campaign of drone attacks Obama has, the left would be calling for him to be charged with war crimes!! Instead most sit idly by and don't care much, just as long as a politician has the right initial next to their name, their actions don't matter to far too many people!!

    One does not apologize for either civilization or defending western civilization.

    If you want to sdo something for peace and to get rid to the criminal governments who bet for chaor and war you could begin posting this everywhere pertinent: "I respect Islam. Please, don't fall in a calculated provocation. Integrism has been financed for decades spacially by Arabia Saudi families, court of the Royal Saudi family...which happens to be close friends of the Bush. They need war to maintain power and to destroy democracy everywhere. Research for the truth (also in Voltairenet, Laouche, etc): http://www.globalresearch.ca/blasphemy-as-a-political-tactic/".

    Reports are saying that the families and villagers are unhappy.

    Source, please. This sounds like complete rubbish, unless we're talking Afghanistan instead of Libya. Way to go AS - paranoid rumor is always better than determined fact, right?
