I’m sorry, but there is testimony before congress that we did. Who is “we”? Well obviously Caspar Weinburger didn’t personally back the Mustard Gas truck up, but it was US companies (Dow or DuPont or whoever, sorry I don’t know that part) under the auspices of whoever approves that stuff (State, DoD, Ollie North’s…

Apology accepted! AAA+++ poster would do business with again

Interesting. I’ve found that, in super sweepingly broad terms, the US talks a good game about all our advanced civil liberties, but the average euro walking around in his more restricted landscape has greater individual lassitude from the state.

Derp, I know Iraq had WMD at one point. We sold Saddam Sarin and Mustard gas back in the 80's when he was a CIA client, that came out in the Iran Contra hearings.

Then he looked at his watch, handed me a signed copy of his steamy spy novel,

That would be the US response, fo sho’. I haven’t been to Belgium since 1986 but I never got the impression of the low countries as being particularly police-statey.

Tyler, keep up the good work. I came here for updates on the Paris attacks and the Malaysian jumbojet shootdoown that I was sure was the opening shots in WWIII and I’m back here for this crisis. Can’t argue results.

That’s because cops in other countries can afford the luxury of billyclubbing you instead because they’re reasonably comfortable in making the assumption you’re not a concealed carry rambo.

SEAHAWK!

Agreed. The “how was your flight” business with the phone, even before the virgins bit, has such sangfroid and verve that my jaw drops each time. And then it’s all downhill from there, unless seeing Dave Foley full frontal nude and pooping is your thing.

Never fails, some asshole forgets to shut off his car alarm.

Right? To me it just sounds like they’re pulling back to Tartus for a bit. Russia still needs Assad in power to guarantee their only Med naval port, they will be back if necessary.

“Through-decked cruiser”, I believe you mean. The 1919 Treaty of Versailles approves.

Hey now. Just because they permanently assign a blue water supertug to tail it at all times doesn’t mean anything.
