Columbine, so named because it was First Lady Eisenhower’s favorite flower.

Damn that thing sounds like Freedom...

Oh C’Mon, he’s technically American by birth. Hawaii is one of our 52 States...

He didn’t fly the S3, and never claimed to. The fact that he was even in the cockpit only emerged later. And the flight suit - standard procedure for anyone flying in a combat zone. If you’re at 30,000 feet and the pressure drops, you’re in a world of hurt.

Seriously, if Bush wanted to go all rock and roll, he was a…

Leftists never let a fact get in the way of a good lie.

I flew Mondo air. They were trying very hard to appear posh, but the stairs were on a poorly repainted (I think they used a roller) 70's Chevy C-10 truck, and the bus was some late 90's Renault that still had sun-faded ads on it for Drakkar. I just looked up Mondo, and they apparently went out of business in 2004.…

All true. In fact, if had never decided to try our hand at regime change, ISIS still would have arisen. It is not a reaction to anything that America has or hasn’t done; it’s a product of a culture of conquest trapped in a region of despotism.

It wasn’t even close to the only reason - there were at least two other significant sticking points. But more importantly, we did not need to negotiate immunity with the judiciary. Under the Iraqi constitution, President Maliki was the person charged with deciding whether to prosecute foreigners or to expel them.

Nobody is arguing otherwise, dumbass.

You win.

Immunity was never actually an issue. The Iraqi President was willing to offer it, but US negotiators wanted it to be voted on by Parliment. Again, bad negotiating. We get terrible deals. This will never make Iraq great again.

I wasn’t quoting that pompous British hack. I was quoting a true hero and patriot - Vezini!

To be fair, Obama was abiding by Bush’s Status of Forces Agreement.

You know, I’m perfectly willing to admit ignorance in a statement that started with “likely”, but as long as you’re being a dick, I plan on doing otherwise.

Yeah, mostly Fidel though. Not that Raul doesn’t have blood on his hands as well, but not being Head of State gives him room for absolution. It should be noted that one reason a thaw was not possible under Fidel is that his utter inflexibility on demands that the US leave GitMo and repay millions of US dollars in…

Interesting.... [goes to Craigslist to find Durango’s for sale.]

Bitch, I’ve been to countries you’ve never heard of, including a few that no longer exist.

Right, but most airlines aren’t going to fly a giant 747 into Havana. Its simply not cost effective to fly a plane with that much capacity to a destination like Havana. Even huge tourist draws like the Bahamas rely on more regular flights of smaller aircraft like a 737 or A300, with maybe a few jumbos coming in at…

Source? Because the building in the background looks suspiciously like George Bush Houston Intl airport. Also, it wouldn’t make sense to fly 747's to Havana.

Note: Corrected from Houston Hobby, which is the only airport I’ve ever had to walk from a 737 to the terminal at. Ever. I mean... even Nagadir International in…

Can you imagine the spectacle of Air Force One flying a low approach over the poor Havana neighborhoods at the Northeast approach to the airport there? Those people have likely never seen a 747, much less had one actually land in their city.

Only the Brits could possibly out-convolute us Americans on how they are structured. (We have 50 (theoretically) soverign states, 16 territories, and hundreds of enclaves united under a single Federal government.)
