The cops did shoot at him.

That’s certainly impressive, but he was in 2nd place and going a bit slower than the leader. I’d like to see some footage of Bayless in the wet.

The mile marker in the first photo is 64/.6-in the second photo it’s 65/.6. That’s a mile difference, or ?

If it goes before congress and the members get to comment on it, those members will be on record. That’s the idea I believe.

Back in the 50s, some corporations got together and formed another corporation that bought up and killed public transportation in large American cities. They were charged with some crimes, convicted and paid at the time about $5k each in fines. We are still suffering from the actions of National City Lines.

Market forces may cause oil companies to eat the tax. And one can avoid paying the tax, or at least lower the amount paid, by buying less fuel.

Isis was already in power before Obama was elected. It’s untrue Obama did nothing. The truth is there is nothing anyone in the US can do to stop ISIS. That must be done by people of the area.

Now, now. It is, and has been, clear the destabilization of the ME by regime change in Iraq. This goes all the way back to the mistakes of GHW Bush in dealing with Iraq and Kuwait and further back to the US/UK sponsored coup that installed the Shah of Iran.

Except for the big rig close behind.

Glaspie was addressing the dispute about Kuwait stealing oil, not one of borders. Your reading comprehension needs improvement.

Clearly you are unaware of the mixed messages our ambassador to the ME, April Glaspie, communicated to governments of Iraq and Kuwait.

Thank you SirUno. There are lot of jerrking knees here.

How can international waters be “not where it’s supposed to be”?

Is that what you think Flint should look like before steps are taken to supply clean water?

I never referred to the issue as a “border dispute”. It was always an issue of Kuwait stealing oil from Iraq. And it is very likely Kuwait was doing exactly that. Had Hussein been a bit more popular with other countries, his plea to the UN to remediate the issue might not have been ignored.

I suggest you read Glaspie’s report on her visit to the ME.

None of which would have happened if GHW Bush had told Hussein to cool it. Instead our ambassador told both Kuwait and Iraq we had no interest in their quarrel.

The reduction of military forces was termed a “Peace Dividend” by GHW Bush, who begin the turn down and boasted of it in his 1991 SOTU address. His successor continued with the draw down.

April Glaspie, GHW Bush’s ambassador to the area, told both Kuwait and Hussein the US was not interested in their squabble. So Kuwait continued to steal Iraq’s oil and Hussein dealt with Kuwait as he saw fit. Had Glaspie been more direct about our interest in the issue the Gulf War might never have started.

I’ll take comedian over lying blowhard anytime.
