Allahu.

Admiral?

its not rocket science

So, they hear it in schools, in refugee camps, from their neighbors and friends. One can then argue that everyone from an Arab country is a potential terrorist. If we were to be 100% successful at keeping them out then, what policy would that look like?

You have no evidence that the NSA has been ineffective. Neither of us have any evidence on this because the NSA (rightfully IMO) won't tell us. 

US policy has inadvertently resulted in the rise of ISIS- specifically the invasion of Iraq, which Hillary was for. She should be criticized for voting for that war. 

Arab Spring, Libya, and the crisis in Syria are far more complicated, and I don't believe Hillary made poor decisions in any of those events. 

I think I've been pretty consistent on foreign policy. On the NSA I have been decidedly inconsistent, because I have changed my mind a few times. Despite your low opinion of me, I would like you to know that you are one of those people, along with Politician Spock and Rich Conway, who made such convincing arguments that I have come to doubt my own position. And I appreciate that. 

Arab Spring - failed to realize the fundamentalists were as powerful as they are. Actually praised it as a democratic movement (which it wasn't)

Libya - waited until the rebels were almost defeated before giving them support - result - many more deaths.

Syria - how is this anything more than a more violent Arab Spring? Should have seen ISIL coming and acted more decisively. And why the hell can't we create more refugee camps in the Middle East? 

Three strikes against Hillary IMO, though Kerry hasn't been any better.

Great, just what the forum needed, another kook/ alias.  

Since the last page has been Tim and people responding to Tim, let's get Rambling and Cobalt in here to chase him around for seven more pages and make this the 471st Hillary pros/cons/liar thread we have.  Wrap it all up in one tight little package so we can eventually just merge all the content into one pinned thread.  Great job, we have regressed to the mean. 

And it only took 4 pages!

So they set off a bomb at the entrance and then rushed shooters in during the chaos.  Seems like this airport was well fortified compared to US airports where you can walk in and out unmolested.  Gotta think that'll change.

It is scary when you see the indoctrination. But, how many of the nearly 1,000,000 resettled refugees in the USA since 9/11 have committed an act of terrorism. None. They are a potential risk, and some attacks by them may have been thwarted. But home-grown domestic and foreign-inspired terrorists have been a greater problem since 9/11.

I don't think the indoctrinated would come here as refugees. They might come here to learn how to fly airplanes though.

Should we just steal their meteorite and promise to give it back when they learn to behave themselves then?

Islam:  Religion of peace?

Not according to history.

Allah Akbar!

I think I figured it out, anything Orthodox sucks.  Only the Orthodox Muslims are nuts, the Sunnis.  Though they don't kill people, Orthodox Jews certainly will kill your property value.  Not to mention, they see nothing wrong with grown men sticking a babies Weiner in their mouths.  I'm all for freedom of religion, but I would have no problem banning any Orthodox practice.  While we are at it, I don't think we would get any complaints banning some of those far out Christian groups either, like the ones that protest funerals, or make teenage girls marry old men.

It's almost like viewing the words of a holy text as literal unerring words of the sole Supreme Being, violation of which will render you an inhuman monster unworthy of the right to eternal life turns people into completely insane jagoffs.  That's so weird.

 

[Henry Ford]

Saw a very religious Jewish friend on facebook yesterday losing it about how horrible the Muslim religion is, going off about what kind of monster religion allows for things like [he meant female] genital mutilation and stoning people to death.  I just didn't have the heart to engage him.

Hence the reason I adopted an unorthodox throwing motion.

Bedouin Soldier, dreadlock rasta? 

Funny because I've always felt the way to solve the Middle East issue was to drop tons of weed on the region and play Bob Marley 24/7 - who's going to listen to some silly Ayatollah/Iman when you could be getting baked instead, Beats dropping bombs.

28 dead, 60 injured. :(

Except for most Orthodox women.

Well it has the virtue of being a new approach.

Huh - The attackers were Russian, Uzbeki & Kyrgizi.

I never can tell - are those the kinds of people Trump is wanting to keep out, or not?  I mean, assuming they're all Muslim.

I don't think Trump can find two of those countries on a map or pronounce them. As for Russia his head might explode if anyone dares inform him of this news.
