    They are on most wanted lists.
    They are pretty damn important.

    Still. I feel as though this will never end.

    again the liberals resorting to 1) insults (bigtrolll?) and 2) throwing out "the absurd" to distract attention away from their inability to make a point. I'll be the bigger man and not stoop to that level.

    B-Bob, do you disagree with SENATOR FEINSTEIN's opinion? She does provide you representation in the Senate.

    B-Bob didn't ask a serious question, therefore I wasn't avoiding any questions from him.

    Notice how I completely shut down the liberals with this post? A true silencer.

    I won't shed a tear for any terrorist that gets taken out, although I have my lingering doubts about due process issues.

    That would require having an opinion other than, you know, "Obama is da debil"

    Oh I'm sorry, you must have missed the question in the quote that you responded to. You must not have taken the time to read it, in the future I ask that you do, it's only a few sentences and it is lazy and rude to ignore his contributions to the discussion, here ya go:
    I'm not going to even bother to rip into you about how weak and sad it is to go "I don't have anything relevant to say, my point has been torn to shreds...but look at what I did a long time ago, I sure got them liberals that time!"

    Lars tried to employ an amateurish "gotcha trick". Of course I saw right through that and didn't give him the satisfaction of responding to a very deep and complex question with a simple yes/no response. He was not being intellectually sincere.

    BTW, speaking of foreign policy --

    Poll: Voters Prefer Obama Over Romney On Foreign Policy | A new Politico/George Washington University poll out today found that President Obama holds a double digit lead over presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney on the question of which candidate will better handle foreign policy.

    Fifty-one percent chose Obama, while 38 percent chose Romney.

    I disagree. I believe he was simply framing the question in accordance with the intellectual level and sincerity of its recipient.

    This is why framing an issue in certain ways can really make a difference in how it's perceived. After 9/11, the Bush administration didn't try to seek revenge on Bin Laden. They didn't seek to destroy Al Qeada. They didn't try to solve the issues that may surround Arab hostilities towards the US. Instead, they declared WAR on Terror.

    "War on Terror" is something that encapsulate basically anything and everything. Hence it cannot possibly ever end, but the government can basically say that killing any supposed enemy group/person is a point for the good guys. And any day that doesn't have a terrorist blowing people up scores even more point. Heck, even getting attacked by terrorists can be a way to score points, as our great leaders in D.C. have shown. And no president will ever stop this "war" because it would mean he's a soft p***y.

    This is a quagmire that makes Vietnam seem downright expedient.

    Its not a gotcha question, if you were sitting in that room and you had the authority to either:

    A.) initiate the strike or
    B.) pass on the strike

    What would you do? This seems like a pretty slam dunk easy decision to make.

    Look, its fine if you prefer conservative ideas, but this image you and your kind have of "the devil president" where it is against the law to give him any credit for what was clearly the right choice is just silly.

    You countered my question with one of your own regarding the citizen incident, but unlike you, I don't live in a world where I have to agree with everything left and disagree with everything right.

    Its like you are a character, forced to live by some basic rule set, which ultimately make you look silly, when asked perfectly simple reasonable questions.

    Normally, I don't care because there are always people who are outliers and act in this manner, but my concern is that this has become an epidimic in the media/politics.

    The retreat from simple reasoning and logic in politics is extremely disturbing to me, and I am curious how you ended up the way you have.

    What are the alternatives besides somehow getting Israel to establish a Free Palestine? (because I can't ever see an American President that would promote that ever even reaching office)

    You can't negotiate with non-sovereign combatants. The prime directive of the Commander-In-Chief is securing the security of the American populace.

    Obama would give the order to take out Bin Laden, and Romney wouldn't.

    oh so now you're ignoring me? Another indication that I've won. ....and of course I did note the insult that you again tossed into your post (biglulzzz).

    I guess the liberal professors in the bay area aren't used to running up against a formidable conservative voice? Not used to being challenged? Can't take the pressure, B-Bob?

    Or are you just trying to deflect attention after I completely silenced the left with this post: http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=6835288&postcount=8
