Gov. Scott Walker: Don't Rule Out 'Boots on the Ground' Against ISIS

A truth teller. Those are always welcome.

Lets see if he stays that way. I suspect the death threats he and his family received for his policies will inspire him. His children have been harassed in grocery stores, and someone threatened to "gut his wife like a deer".

Im reminded of Reagan who was initially a democrat, even doing campaign ads for Truman. And then one day he met a stalinist marxist who told him that despite this fact that if Stalin was able to beat the US, that Reagan would be imprisoned and then killed-all without missing a beat.

Reagan would later be threatened by marxists many more times, from within the actors guild to in the white house. Im sure it was influential to him.
 
Thats awesome, Ive never met Royalty. There was an incident recently where Lebron James was meeting the princess and in a photo he's touching her arm. He was all sweaty as well.

I like older male patients because they hit on the nurses and cute physicians at work. :lol:

Royalty really IS different and I sensed in my few encounters they have great discomfort and anxiety with the public world.

BTW, for Expo I was in a receiving line with Chuck and Di, he has a hell of a hand shake, she was a wet fish, no eye contact. Chuck got me into talking about sailing so I invited him out to which he famously replied "Dear me, I should say that as an officer in the Royal Navy the last place you should have me is on a sailboat."

I have discovered that we do not have to hit on anyone....they come to us. Not kidding, I am approached all the time by women in the early 20's. I confess though, I have cultivated the look, I am fit, 6' 210, with white hair and beard and a snappy African walking stick.

I think they have the mistaken belief that I am "safe"....

but had I known then what I have come to know about women now, I would not have gotten to be old....

It has been awhile since I read it, but Peggy Noonan's book on Reagan "When Character Was King" deals with that. Not surprisingly, what never changed in his life was his faith, which intertwined with his ideology....we forget this guy cracked wise to the surgeons when he was shot "Please be Republicans"...

Think Obama would be that cool?
 
They were a terrorist organization whose goal was the overthrow of Saddam. What they became as a result of our going into Iraq is a much, much stronger terrorist organization that is a threat to us. So yeah, it makes a difference.

Is that the reason ISIS killed the judge that sentenced Saddam to hang??

Your theory doesn't hold water.

I love the irony that men age better, especially with all the princesses running around here. :cool:
At work we have a "sexy cold war" going on between the medical staff, all the younger ones trying to out do each other. Im sure to tell each when they look nice, gotta stir the pot.

There are some stunning nurses, but they have to wear scrubs.

Obama would probably threaten the surgeons just before he was put under anesthesia.
 
LOL Moussaoui was caught training at a commercial aircraft flight school not on a home computer. I'de say that is a difference. The fact that they didn't even check the other schools to see who was training says volumes about the mindset of our intelligence services at the time. They were obviously afraid to find out something that Bush would not like hearing. Like a REAL Al Qaeda plot.


I

George Tenet's disgraceful new book.

You would have been ok with the FBI singling out Muslims for taking flying lessons?
 
I have not yet seen any published or aired strategy that I could support.

I asked you what strategy you would recommend, not strategies that you wouldn't.

Ha....

I know about the "General Hospital" syndrome, my first was a cardiac care nurse and my doc and I are best friends...

Now take that atmosphere into live television, a newsroom of 80% women and seven out of eleven on air talent are "hair dos that talk".

Now try being the producer.....

Yes, and when we are careful we do age much better. The truth is guys like me are rare. Every man my age I know was diagnosed diabetic got the scrip, ignored the classes and went on eating the **** that got them there. My diabetes clinic treats me like Eisenhower arriving in Europe - here's one did what we said! Almost every guy I know gave up exercise long ago and a former friend I used to hike into the mountains and fish with invested in a buggy some while back and never walked again. Screw fishing, he could live two years on body fat

Talking hair do's. :lamo
The irony of DM is that if people would control their sugar levels, almost all of the comorbidities would disappear. Tragically by the time many of them do appear the damage is done.
 
I'm all for eliminating all forms of means tested benefits and special tax deals. I'm also all for eliminating Obamacare, I have never supported it, and I met with congress a year before it was signed into law to oppose it.

But no, I'm not one of the extremist idiots who believe that government should be restrained to just was was mentioned in the constitution. I hate the hypocrisy of those who will argue that, then turn around and argue that we have any business in Iraq.

Well...I supposed we could just put up a big wall against the rest of the world. That worked out well in the lead up to WW2, huh?
 
I believe that it's in our best interest to contain ISIS, "over there". Other than that, it's really not much of our bitness.

I could care less if muslums kill each other. None of those people are "good". I don't believe it's possible for us to establish a good government in any part of that world. Even our closest allies in that region are our enemies.

We certainly shouldn't start trying to change governments all over the world by force. History has proven that doesn't work out so well.

Worked out very well in regards to Germany and Japan.
 
I asked you what strategy you would recommend, not strategies that you wouldn't.

I do NOT have a strategy. I thought that was clear the first time.
 
In a honest bet - both sides put up something they value. What are your putting up?

My reputation against yours. There are other things that are valuable besides money.

had to look up comorbidities....I do love medical terminilogy...co morbid ities .....oooh

I was an exception in that my doc risked a friendship by making me do A1C's every three months for a year and a half till he got the GTL and caught it early. If it weren't for the side effect of high glucose from betahystine to treat the Menierre's I would be peachy....

Here was your challenge to me

I'm betting that if the terrorists start regularly attacking us on American soil, you would be among the first to scream: "Why didn't we stop them overseas?!"

Since I would be in total and complete control of this response and all I have to do is never utter those words - I accept your bet. But how about we make it interesting and you put up your existence here and I put up mine.

We wait for three terrorist strikes here and monitor my posts and ifI do not respond as you predicted. then you leave and never return. On the other hand, if I do respond as you predicted, then I leave and never return.

Except to do nothing, so someone else's kids can endure the effects of the do nothing strategy.
