The idea that every single human on the planet can haul their ass around in about 1000 kilos of metal and plastic on road, literally, paved with oil, is about as stupid as a plan ever devised by us monkeys. Whether by oil or lithium, it's still a remarkably stupid idea.
Which is exactly why America has the Bill of Rights, 200 million misinformed or manipulated people cannot "vote" to take away ones human or civil rights.
The oath he swore was to protect the Constitution, he has NOT violated that oath, quite the opposite. What he did do was violate the terms of a non-disclosure agreement.
Israel has been caught, many times, stealing and spying. Yet, I have never seen a US President complain about this. Why?
The next enemy for America is China. Right now the US is in cold war with them. But it's going to get hot soon. Much of what is happening in the Middle East is about controlling the oil and thus, China.
The next battlespace will be Africa.
America is sleep walking, as usual, into a war with China.
You don't have to be super skilled to use a lathe to make a steel barrel either, so between the few, and perhaps a few other easily or obtained metal parts, and you might have yourself a serviceable device.
What was he supposed to do? Stop reading to the kids, stand up, and say "Children, I must save the United States! Begone!" - demon
Right, you get a call that your house on fire while you are at work, but you just sit there for 20 minutes to finish reading your email. Laughable. His location was also known, it was scheduled visit, public. Sitting there put himself and the kids at risk. OTOH Cheney was practically dragged out of office by SS men just as soon as they got the news. That's just SOP.
In his book Jawbreaker (2005), Berntsen said that his team had pinpointed bin Laden's location.[page needed] He wrote that a number of al-Qaeda detainees later confirmed that bin Laden had escaped into Pakistan via an easterly route through snow-covered mountains to the area of Parachinar, Pakistan. He believed that bin Laden could have been captured at the time if the United States Central Command had committed the troops which Berntsen had requested.[4][page needed] In a 2005 interview, the former CIA officer Gary Schroen concurred with Berntsen's opinion.[5] Pentagon documents suggest bin Laden escaped at Tora Bora.
Unwilling to "scorch the earth"? How kind of you. 20,000+ people did get "scorched" so there is that. You are losing because no one likes invaders. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Did they even try? Well, yeah.
"In the years following 1926, Mustafa Kemal introduced a radical departure from previous reformations established by the Ottoman Empire.[73] For the first time in history, Islamic law was separated from secular law, and restricted to matters of religion.[73] Mustafa Kemal said
“ We must liberate our concepts of justice, our laws and our legal institutions from the bonds which, even though they are incompatible with the needs of our century, still hold a tight grip on us.[74] ”
On 1 March 1926, the Turkish penal code was passed. It was modelled after the Italian Penal Code. On 4 October 1926, Islamic courts were closed. Establishing the civic law needed time, so Mustafa Kemal delayed the inclusion of the principle of laïcité until 5 February 1937.
Ottoman practice discouraged social interaction between men and women in keeping with Islamic practice of sex segregation. Mustafa Kemal began developing social reforms very early, as was evident in his personal journal. He and his staff discussed issues like abolishing the veiling of women and the integration of women into the outside world. The clue on how he was planning to tackle the issue was stated in his journal on November 1915;
“ The social change can come by (1) educating capable mothers who are knowledgeable about life; (2) giving freedom to women; (3) a man can change his morals, thoughts, and feelings by leading a common life with a woman; as there is an inborn tendency towards the attraction of mutual affection.[75] ”
Mustafa Kemal needed a new civil code to establish his second major step of giving freedom to women. The first part was the education of girls and was established with the unification of education. On 4 October 1926, the new Turkish civil code passed. It was modelled after the Swiss Civil Code."

Yes, it is, it's used in English magazines, newspapers, and orally. You just used it. Usage is what makes a word a word.
I suppose instead of saying glacier, you say "a big piece of ice thingy".

Small correction. Apple does not have customers, they have "acolytes".
Can MIT render you or kill you in a drone strike? And I guess you missed the "voluntary" part.

Yes, fine, but how many people did you kill with your car mounted laser cannons?
"Clearance"? Authoritarians are robots.
Manning also said that he reviewed the documents himself before turning them over to Wikileaks.
He did not dump, you are either lying or misinformed.

What a brilliant idea.
Or you could put them in camps and gas them.
People like you are the reason we are fucked.

So open another account, drop say $200 into it and use that card.
I just wish Jerry would fact check more! Sorry, Jerry, I could not resist.
More like one million.

Quark was coined by James Joyce in Finnegan's Wake, which was serialized in 1924 and finally published in 1939. But I take your point.
