    As much as I didn't like Bush policy, I think he is a decent guy who may or may not have had the befit of fit council (Iraq war?).
    what I did mean is that the military industrial complex does benefit from the wars we the taxpayer have to support. I am a proponent of a strong military, but our spending is disproportional. The introduction of military contractors cheapens the sacrifices our armed forces make. Said contractors behavior, though not subject to US articles of war, reflects on US the country not the corporation. Profits are being made on peoples lives. That is just fact, a sad one.

    "eventually the Democrats get elected " because we the people are tired of the war and the casualties and no resolution or end in sight.

    ""to hell with them"" would be an effective policy if an entire nation was involved in the attacks. AQ was not even technically in power as head of state. The taliban (imho inhuman pieces of feces, mostly because of their fictionalized vision of the world) are a bane to their own people. Bush as a decent human being probably knew this.

    The current US policy of "Proportional Response" in southeast Asia seems to generate much better result. That is a direct lesson learned from our recent experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan. This may also be a factor in response to Syrian violence.

  11. Re:Back to the future! on Grumman Building Football Field-Sized Robotic Surveillance Blimp · · Score: 1

    so "didn't also take out the Taliban"... basically the response after 11 years of war... hasn't been effective either. The cost in lives both foreign and domestic has been very high.
    I do wonder how things might have been if we had focused in on Afghanistan without the distraction/wtf in Iraq.

    war is good for business.
    USSR invasion failed because of US involvement and support.
    We should have learned from USSR. US response should have been proportional (strategic rather than emotional). making sure binladen and his top managers were taken out. Can't destroy a country and hope they will like you back!! Also cant win wars against ideals, only people.

    yes this is overly simplistic but there are no complex way to arrive at a solution for this either, nature of the beast that is human.

    come one now, BOB is only a joke for geeks, no "sweety/hot...chick" will know.
    Also because most of the younger gen don't know Bob, Microsoft is introducing "metro-bob" ;)

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Bob
    "Microsoft Bob was designed for Windows 95 and Windows NT, and intended to be a user-friendly interface for Microsoft Windows, supplanting the Program Manager."

    Microsoft Metro was designed for Windows 8 and Windows RT, and intended to be a user-friendly interface for Microsoft Windows, supplanting the Start button.

    Its always fun to pick on MS, but as far as me, and the geeks i know... what is an icebreaker joke.
