1 No hat tip on that line?

2 did I miss somethin Admiral?  Mybad.

3 It's a trap.

4 Referencing a 40-year-old pop song is a pretty trifling and non-serious way to run a blog that should be MORE. POLITICS. ALL. THE. FUCKING. TIME.  DiT, only Ace can pull off this kind of shit, and you're not Ace.

Thank you dish.

 

Suck my dick.

 

But also hit the tip jar.  For the children.

6 we got drones that carry six missiles? I'm having a hard time keeping up with the technology.

7 Punching down with Elvis. Sad.

8 Those fucking Waziristanis had a good ass kicking coming from Zero for mucking up our whole Gulf Coast.  Or something.

9

I'll try..

13 wedding guests terrorists killed by suspicious minds and Hellfire missiles, but mostly Hellfire missiles.

Sorry, I don't know how to make the entire page red, underlined and center-justified. I'll never be good enough for Gen Raykon. Sniff.

10 I love watching the Left wring their hands over Obama's expansion of the drone-killin' program.

It's like the non-closure of Gitmo, troops still in Iraq...

(My favorite soft drink?  Spite.)

11

A suspected U.S. drone fired six missiles into a compound in North Waziristan, killing 13 suspected militants Friday, according to a Pakistani intelligence official and a local government.

Wasn't us.  All our drones are right here.

12 General Kenobi, Years ago, you served my father in the Drone Wars; now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Empire.

13 I'm still waiting for Rear Adm. Raycon to come back to bed. There's still that fucking hole to plug.

14 This is the only thing Barky's been able to get right.  Until he unleashes a predator drone on the Jonas Brothers.

15 Wow, I read the title and the first thing that came to mind was that song.  Should I be afraid?

16 I, too, am still moved by the Left's whole, "preemptively violating a nation's sovereignty" pleading of the past seven years to not ever get anything done. Fairness? I drink Lance's Spite. In my best D Day Lewis voice.

17 Thirteen terrorists killed by a hunka-hunka-burnin'-love and a salvo of Hellfire missiles, but mostly by a salvo of Hellfire missiles.

18 OT: DRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW!

19

Thirteen terrorists killed by a hunka-hunka-burnin'-love and a salvo of Hellfire missiles, but mostly by a salvo of Hellfire missiles.

Much improved and better than my lame-o attempt. Bravo!

20 I keep thinking of Adm. Raykon wearing that white jumpsuit. Dayum.

21 15 Wow, I read the title and the first thing that came to mind was that song.  Should I be afraid?

Me too!!  Oh, CRAP!!

22 Taught in a crap? Caught in a trap. Raykon? Krayon? I say what's what in the butt, Admiral.

23 Stef:  Data where are you going?
Data:  I'm setting booty traps.
Stef:  You mean booby traps?
Data:  THATS WHAT I SAID! BOOBY TRAPS! God. These Guys!

24

OT:

You gotta love the gubmint giving BP a 48 hour deadline to CLEAN UP THAT MESS RIGHT NOW, YOUNG MAN, OR IT'S STRAIGHT TO BED WITHOUT DESSERT!

Yay Barry! Way to go, Champ! Throw out a totally useless deadline and then...what? What happens if they can't fix the problem in two days? Widdle Barry can't confiscate the company because it isn't American. Maybe Widdle Barry can order all BP gas stations closed until the leak stops?

25 Sorry. Once a Goonies reference comes to mind, no matter how non-sensical, the call must be heeded.

26
Obama also forgets that thousands of Americans own BP ADR's, or they are held by proxy in pension plans.  Trash talking about BP isn't the same as trash talking with his Marxist buds Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod. 

The long-awaited butt fucking of Obama will be complete in '12.

27 Let me be clear: my administration is all about setting deadlines on troublesome actors both here and overseas. And when those deadlines aren't met, well, we'll set another one. Eventually they'll come around.

28 Has the full 30K surge made it to Pockeestaun yet?

Hell, I am surprised that he hasn't cut and run yet.

29 It seems the only things still functioning are those that were already in place that He hasn't meddled with yet.

30 Aww hell, it's too damn obvious even for me to say it.

31 Thankya vurra much

32 He didn't call those shots his arm was twisted until he said ok, I promise!

33 Ladies and Gentlemen; Achmed ... has left the building

34 Just finished reading the Rolling Stone article about the Gulf spill (linked in other threads). Hate to say, although RS sucks, and they just had to tee off on Bush 43...great article. Nice fuckin' job, Barry.

35

_{He didn't call those shots his arm was twisted until he said ok}

 

Daddy, which is prettier?

The Call to Prayer?

 or the Sound of a Predator Drone launching a Hellfire Missle?

also - Why is mommy calling my sister fat?

 

36 Six missiles and only thirteen killed?

More video game time for those soldiers!

37 I think Carville is switching to GOP this year.

38

Well, only 13 that we know about.

Maybe Vince Foster was there.

This is, in a way, reminiscent of Somalia in '93, when the Clinton Administration was sleepwalking into a bad situation there.  At one point, they massaccered a large part of the tribal leadership of the tribe which "warlord" Mohammed Farah Aidid was a part of, with a barage of TOW missiles launched from helicopters.

That kinda put the hash on the fire, so to speak. We are either killing off the Taliban and al Qaeda leadership (and maybe winning the war?) or else making a lot of bad mistakes.  And I frankly don't know the truth of it, but it was interesting to read the limp wristed comments at the CNN blog.

Oooh, innocents are being killed. Wake up, lunkheads, that happens all the time in war. That's what makes wars something to be avoided. 

39 we're in effect trying to 'create' a country. it past time to realize that afghanistan is basically a region only and not a unified nation state. it's just one big tribal area with a bunch of nincompoops running around with guns. we've been there for too long, i say screw em and let em kill each other. if any more trouble comes from out of there, go to the bombing campaign. we can't save em all you know, but we can level the place at will.

40 How many weddings parties we take out?

Given the number of times we supposedly took out wedding parties I figure the jihadis have a one trick propaganda pony... then again, it may be the only time that a bunch of high-value targets get together, kind of like a combined Gambino / Soprano family reunion... irresistible.

41 Afghanistan needs a Las Vegas. Booze, babes, and buffets will trump religion and tribalism every time.

42 still waitin gfor the shrill cries of the left, for extending criminal war crimes in yemen, and pawkistawn.

43 I'm on the highway to hell.

44 I'm at stage 3 of drunkedness, but did someone say Carville to GOP? I think someone be at stage 6.

45

Anyone else watching Back to the Future II?

 

46

From daves link

Alston also urged the Obama administration to disclose the number of civilians killed in the drone strikes.

Hell Obama can now even assasinate Americans that the "obama team" might deem terrororists: with nary a  screech right or left.

Disclosures of LAW are only necessary with a REPUB administration.

LV housing prices down by >50%. Funemployment and funclosures are leading the nation. I'd say Afunhnistan is already Las Vegas...at least economically.

48 still waitin gfor the shrill cries of the left, for extending criminal war crimes in yemen, and pawkistawn.

The NY Air National Guard runs drones out of their base by the Syracuse airport.  Local hippies still go out there to protest.  Bothers me.

I wonder why biofuel research never consider hippies as a raw material.

49

well i have boobs and babes, but no  buffets and money. while visiting las vegas.

so i'd say a bad plan.

50 O/T Just saw a great pic on Mortis's FB page.  It shows Green (the English goalkeeper) about to scoop us the ball that eventual;y became USA's goal, with the headline, "I got this . . . Trust me."

That cries out for a photoshop with 0bama and BP.  I hope slublog can get on the case!

51

Heather, alright. bothers me too.

still it makes me think they at least have SOME consistancy. ( i still think it's just a show) LIE 

small  amt. of  asswhipes= good for our guys and gals out there.

52 Gov Brewer should invest in some drones. It's got to be cheaper than building a damn wall.

53 My son today had a friend over... a MARINE who is leaving for Iraq tomorrow.

He is a MACHINE GUN operator.
Very polite. yes ma'am and all.

Say a prayer for John who leaves tomorrow.

hoorah.

54 prayers for john..

55 Yeah...there's a little consistency, but they should be protesting the guy giving the orders, not the young guys carrying them out.  (Yeah, yeah, Nuremburg Trials, but the purpose of war is not to die for your country--it's to make the other bastard die for his.  The only difference between the drone and the planes they used to fly is if a drone goes down, no one gets a headstone in Saratoga National Cemetery in the section for those lost whose remains could not be recovered.)

56 Only 1/3 of the victims are civilians.  I call that damn fine shooting.

57

Heather, agree.

I'm so piss'd that i know they lie

I'm also grateful they are not attacking our loved ones.

it's all sick. shame on them.

58 He is a MACHINE GUN operator.
Very polite. yes ma'am and all.

Say a prayer for John who leaves tomorrow.

hoorah.

I pray that they let the machine gunners carry bandoliers with real bullets and not Q-tips, and that the man doesn't have an ounce of courageous restraint in his whole body.

59 I love these drone attacks . They're a constant reminder to the rest of the world that we own the big leagues while they're stuck in single A for the foreseeable future .
Unless Barry is reelected .

60 Speaking of hippie tree huggers. I was driving back from golf in the poconos today into jersey and notice a lot of deer roadkill. I think there is hunting restrictions this year in PA and NJ. So instead of a controlled hunt we have dozens of fly ridden, diseased carcasses strewn on the sides of hiways. I've also noticed a few blackbear who have met the same fate. Can any hunters put me some fuckin knowledge and tell me if your hunting has been restricted this year?

When I asked him what his job was.. he said with a big grin.. Machine gun operator.

All I could say was.. COOL.  and he said..' hell ya, very cool.'

The bravery is awesome.  19 years old.. goes into the Marines while we are in 2 wars.  Americas finest for sure.

62 God bless John.

O/T

Abby Sunderland, her family, the Coast Guard, Australian Search an Rescue, Katie Couric, and every citizen of Austin, Texas awarded a trophy for her failure to circumnavigate the globe. 

The citation reads, "it's not the effort that counts, but merely the suggestion that a young girl could excel as well as members of Code Pink."

64 Drones are the perfect tool for the Glowing Leper™ tactic.  You announce that, say, Mullah Omar is a dead man.  He may think he's alive but he's only walking meat.  You further announce that any building, hut, or cave where we suspect Omar is hiding will be smote, collateral damage notwithstanding.  Then you proceed to do so.  After awhile, nobody wants the leper to hang around anymore.

65 Make with the new fucking thread! This one is old and makes no sense.

I live in MN; been deer hunting the same area for 20 years.  They've actually increased the limit on deer you can take, especially does.  The bag limit depends on where in the state you hunt.

Used to be you could shoot one deer per year, and unless you got a doe permit (done by lottery), it had to be a buck.

Then they started issuing bonus permits, allowing you to take two deer, one of which had to be antlerless.

Now, we can take up to 5- and only one of them can be a mature buck.  The rest have to be antlerless.  They also initiated an early season a couple weeks before the regular season in which you can only shoot antlerless deer.  In addition, they've opened our area to rifles- used to be by shotgun slug (or archery) only. 

This is all due to a high deer population.  As we've gotten more urbanized, hunting just isn't as popular as it once was.

67 66 I don't hunt but I can see the value in it. At least you guys use your bounty for food, taxidermy etc. The dead carcasses on the side of the road just seen wastefull to me not to mention the millions?? In auto damage and personal injury it causes.

68 Dave in Texas, I didn't take you for an Elvis fan.

69

Let's Hellfire the U.N. building until it's leveled.  Hunt down those UN honcho windbags, too.  While we're at it, clip Hugo Chavez, Kim Jong Il, and A-hole-dumijad, too.

If Paki bites our feeding hand we can drop a few canisters of bubonic plague and typhus, and the place will be a crap-filled  morgue within a week.

We've suffered 2% of the fatalities that we had in Viet Nam, collateral damage is at a minimum, too. It won't get much better as time goes on, because the nutty muzzies want to come over here.  We need to be ready to defend ourselves here in the States from the domestic and infiltrated enemies.

Keeping our hands clean now is suicidal.  Let's get the job done right over there and back here, so that we are not permeated with religious and political extremists.  Otherwise, those lives were lost in vain.

70 What, no picture of Admiral Ackbar?

71

What?

 

The completely new comprehensive plan for Afghan from the Won that he promised to save us all didn't work as planned?

You know, the one 'good' war he's been bitching about Bush dropped his eyes off? 

The one Bush left him in relatively under-controlled conditions?

Now it's a trap?
