Was: Israel is at War; Now: Scoopers diagnose your anti-Semitism

[Uncle Rico]

I mean, it's at least an 8 for bemoaning the "US is the blame crowd" while also blaming the U.S. for everything bad in the world.

No ellipsis' and didn't mention Hunter or ice cream.  3 air quotes bumped it from a 6.

[The Sultan]

  unfortunately doc, you are right on.  we do not proudly admit this.  let's see how long the general "outrage" lasts.  just as 9-1-1, the outrage lasted, oh, about what?  1-2-3 weeks max, then the U.S. is to blame crowd slowly came back to life and is now acceptable to continue that blather.  pulling out of afghanistan the WAY we did only emboldened the terrorists


too many things going arse backwards with every decision the "big guy" has put forth. 

    our strategic oil reserves are dangerously low

    wide open border has allowed who knows how many terrorists and other country's worst in and roaming around. 

    the cartels are partnering with hamas and isis. 

   $80 billion worth of high tech military equipment left for terrorists putting them automatically into line with some of the most powerful militarys in the world. 

  our military recruitment numbers are way down due to the "policies" of this regime

1. We produce more oil than we consume.
2. We don't have open borders
3. Provided with absolutely no evidence.
4. A conservative media talking point that has been debunked
5. Military recruitment is down because the job market is strong.

So 0-5. Congrats.

From the NYT:

The United States and Qatar have agreed to deny Iran's access to $6 billion in funds recently transferred to the nation as part of a deal between Washington and Tehran that led to the release of five imprisoned Americans from Iran last month.

Wally Adeyemo, the deputy Treasury secretary, told House Democrats on Thursday that Iran would no longer have access to the funds, according to a person familiar with the matter. The money was under close supervision and strict conditions that it be used only for humanitarian purposes.

Huh. How about that....

I can't believe they didn't spend any of it. I mean when I was at MU and my parents put $50 in my bank account, I was at the TYME machine in about 10 minutes.

[tower912]

There were always clearly defined limits, restrictions, and hoops to jump through.  Those held.

That's cause we had the 'Lanche, and Iranians don't drink.

Come on man...

Let's think.  What do cartels like besides money?  Drugs, drinking, hookers/free and conspicuous sex...not to mention Mexico is a heavily Catholic country.  So why they hell would they be of interest to a group that abhors all of that.  There is no "enemy of my enemy is my friend" with Hamas.  They kill their friends who don't hate their enemies enough.  And the cartels have ZERO interest in the destruction of the US that Hamas would want, why would they kill their entire customer base?

I'm old enough to remember when the cartels were partnering with Al Qaeda.

Not to detract from the politics laden stuff, but this concerns me a bit.

Calling for uprisings/protests and violence throughout the Middle East tomorrow. I know a few people in the know, and they are taking this threat very seriously and preparing for violence that could spread and escalate. Hopefully it remains just a threat and doesn't become a reality.

My biggest fear in all of this is essentially what Muggsy has proposed. That this grows from a Gaza/Israel engagement into something more global.

[Hards Alumni]

Well that'd be an interesting end to the world.

As has been explained here numerous times in very simple terms - they never had access to that money. Period.

One roqqet (or two, if you count 4ever) is already too many. IOW, don't be a roqqet.

Open borders mean that people can legally enter the country without any, or not significant, border controls.  That doesn't describe the United States. 

I know...there goes the narrative.

[Jockey]

Thanks, Dog. The joke was obvious but I overreacted because several others here lied about the $6M.

That hardly ever happens.

Secure synagogues across the United States, around the world, and deliver room service to this scumfk at that 5 star hotel in Qatar with a bullet to his head. 

[MuggsyB]

We have 27 dead Americans so far.  We have engaged in war type operations over far fewer American deaths.  Take every one of these fkbags out and tell Iran's leaders  if one American hostage is killed you will be formally introduced to utter darkness.

It took us almost 10 years to find and kill bin Laden, yet you think we're taking out Hamas - a fighting force of an estimated 25,000 - and the entire Iranian regime in couple of days.

I was told by a friend that NYPD and others are staffing in preparation for tomorrow. Could very well just be some rowdy protesting or nothing at all. We can hope but clearly it's viewed as more than fluff

I guarantee that the violent rhetoric will seep into his basketball posts.

[tower912]

...attacking downhill with violence...

[MuggsyB]

I guarantee that the violent rhetoric will seep into his basketball posts.

No, it won't. If we know where this guy is Jockey the answer is to dismiss him from the planet.  And take out the Qataris protecting him as well.  I've actually shown quite a bit of restraint with my anger.  I have a 5 point plan that would take three weeks but because I am courteous to the patty-cake people here I will keep that to myself.
