I think they’d all be surprised how much a Christian theocracy resembles a Muslim one.

Just World Bullshit. You have a flawed view of the world and it makes you a bad person.

Excellent point Chad. I’ll inform that poster to avoid your trigger points in the future. We all know how emotional you conservative types get.

Hm… I didn’t realize the current ballpark was a new one. Good to know!

lol that’s awesome.

How am I not surprised that Belle and Dibble are the first two players featured here?

you owe me a nickel motherfucker.

yep. they do a good job explaining a lot of those types of things.

Science.

Fuck that troll.

No one gives a shit about what you think Chad.

Plus, add SA into the mix and I just wonder why is America acting unilaterally in this? Why is this our…

Well its either that or a ground war and regime change. Which hasn’t worked out too well for us recently.

You’re right that we don’t know exactly how consequential this particular strike will be, but we know the base was heavily used, so either the regime incurs the cost of shifting its operations elsewhere, or launches fewer attacks overall, thus “diminishes.”
