Marines might be cheaper...Economics trumps all.Can we send JDAMs and Cruise Missiles instead of Marines this time?
I'm currently taking bets on how long it will be before someone declares Syria got their WMD from Iraq (a rumor back during the Iraq days amongst the right was that Iraq had no chemical weapons because they shipped them all to Syria).I would hope none of us take his word after what happened last time.
Right wing pundits are already working this angle on the major news networks.I'm currently taking bets on how long it will be before someone declares Syria got their WMD from Iraq (a rumor back during the Iraq days amongst the right was that Iraq had no chemical weapons because they shipped them all to Syria).
By the end of the week.I'm currently taking bets on how long it will be before someone declares Syria got their WMD from Iraq (a rumor back during the Iraq days amongst the right was that Iraq had no chemical weapons because they shipped them all to Syria).
While this is true, communications lag between UAV operators in the US (Creech, Cannon, Holloman AFB's), boots on the ground locally, other manned surveillance aircraft in the area, and those in the DC/Virginia area making the calls, sometimes you need a manned fighter in orbit to react more quickly to changing circumstances. Until they develop better means of communications that can eliminate the lag because of SATCOM and distances covered by it, there will continue to be a need for manned aircraft.airforce has to move onto drones though, f22 reaches the limits a human pilot can endure.

Ah I get what you mean. By "didn't get involved" I mean, you know, Iraq.We did get involved tho and through some trick of fate or Jesus taking pity on us we managed to not irrevocably fuck it up unto the fifth generation.
That's why it would be concerning if there's a sudden focus on our involvement in Libya. Libya panned out ok for us.
I dunno man. We ended up with all those boots on the ground there.We did get involved tho and through some trick of fate or Jesus taking pity on us we managed to not irrevocably fuck it up unto the fifth generation.

Hasbro is gonna have to make a new board game "Where in the World is Saddam Hussein's Arsenal?"so that would make the chemical weapons like a Benny hill skit, they keep crossing borders while america chases them ineffectively?
