What we do know is that both sides create their own boogeymen as a way to power and money. None of the boogeymen really exist.

Our fatal error is to believe one side has a monopoly on the truth about imaginary boogeymen.

We would all be much better off to ignore all of the boogeyman fabrications and stick to just the facts.
The fact is they are all thieves and prostitutes, it is just a matter of degree and how much they can steal or sell.

Picking the lesser of two weevils isn't going to help, for in the end they remain weevils.

Another episode of neverending drama and does'nt anyone ever get tired of this day in and day out minutia ?
4 dead Americans and the fail involved are a hell of a lot more important than 2 grown adults playing footsie so to speak.

Yup, but we're all talking about the footsie (and ramifications of), while the dead become a distant memory. If there's a method to this madness, it's working spectacularly.

Hey, I'm just as infuriated as the rest of you with a functioning brain. We can't discuss politics here or, trust me, I'd be all over it. Something stinks, BIG TIME, and I hope someone gets to the bottom of it and those who are guilty pay (both abroad AND here).

I thought the sex angle was funny (in a sick, twisted way). Sorry if it annoyed anyone.

Unending war for inchoate purposes at the behest of an amoral system will sap morale.

“When you engage in actual fighting, if victory is long in coming, then men’s weapons will grow dull and their ardor will be damped. If you lay siege to a town, you will exhaust your strength.

Again, if the campaign is protracted, the resources of the State will not be equal to the strain.

Now, when your weapons are dulled, your ardor damped, your strength exhausted and your treasure spent, other chieftains will spring up to take advantage of your extremity. Then no man, however wise, will be able to avert the consequences that must ensue.”

- Sun Tzu
