Why do you keep saying Neocons, as though they rule the US? Yes, they're nuts about using the military to spread Americanism, but that's not what's happening in Iraq right now. It's becoming a situation that will affect every US citizen at the pumps and possibly create a base for attacks on US interests.

I bet you dollars for donuts we'll be back over there before the Holiday Season.

If the Taliban or Al Qaeda thought it was smart or easy, they'd have already attacked us again. I'm not as worried about that because the global economy is actually very unstable since the 2008 crisis. I don't think it would take a lot of extra pressure to cause the markets to come unglued again. And we might not be able to stabilize them so easy with massive loans next time.

The economy is still screwed, but ISIS to Al Qaeda would be like the Jeffersons moving into a deluxe apartment in the sky-moving on up.

It would be like disneyland for terrorists.

No, they know that attacks on our soil would make us come after them with a vengeance. They're aware that they can't fight us ALL OUT. They want to kill us with a thousand cuts and make this a war of attrition that costs more than we want to pay.

Osama never thought that 9/11 would be that successful or that we'd come directly after them so hard. Most of our ME enemies won't directly confront us.

I think the last 3 Wars were unnecessary, though I would've tapped down the AQ in Afghanistan after 9/11. But unfortunately, we a choice to either drill, frack and stay with coal, or get over there and stabilize the ME, till we become energy independent. It's not a real choice.



AP reported this month that sixty-nine coal-fired power plants across twenty states are expected to shut down between 2014 and 2017 due to current EPA standards...

Tens of thousands of Americans will lose jobs due to plant closures. As electricity prices rise, it will be more difficult for energy-intensive industries, like manufacturing, to add jobs. And most of the country will see serious negative impacts on their cost of living from rising electricity prices. Electricity is an input cost in virtually every consumer product we buy—these policies will literally affect the price we pay for everything.

It's not those who crapped their pants who are worrisome, but those who did not.
