leader of Yemen in on what exactly
Quote: Again, I'd prefer to be made aware when we're doing military stuff in other countries, not have to find out and be surprised thinking we were backing out of wars not keeping them going.
It really is not difficult to find out. Just read a reputable journal like The Economist and you will be kept well enough informed.
Quote: Also, I don't fully buy into the legitimacy of Yemen, feels sketchy to me.
Huh? Its a democratic sovereign state with a multiparty system and regular elections but it doesn't 'feel right'? WTF?
Quote:Even 7,000 is more than what we lost. My point still stands on this one.
Sorry what exactly was your point again?
Quote:He was still what sent us into Afghanistan, and he's dead. This was supposed to be a 'get Bin Laden' deal, and even after he's dead there seems to be no sign of a wrap-up.
Very lousy planning both in the Iraq war and the Afghan war. No point in ousting the Taleban only to let them back in again.
Quote:You won't convince me of this. I still remember Obama's declaration of war on Syria. The guy couldn't even have let himself be bothered to wait for the U.N. to finish its investigation into what happened. He was all about that war, until Putin stepped in.
And it was all resolved oh so quickly. Putin just 'stepped in' and a weak 'don;t do it again' agreement was reached. Also the UK had just voted NOT to go to war for the very reason that I mentioned. Too many MPs thought that Assad was the lesser of two evils.
Quote:Oh and I'd rather not live under facists or islamic extremists.
Nor would I but the people of Syria are faced with one or the other. They don't have the luxury of choosing neither. Faced with that choice I would go with the fascists. they seem to be less killy and don't shove religion down your throat. Indeed the Baathists seem to be very religion averse.
