Hi Polgara :2wave:

The original historical phrase is "One riot, one Texas ranger."

Historically before recent liberal revisionist history. it was about an illegal boxing prize fight match and the local Mexicans going from being lazy pinto beans to becoming Mexican jumping beans on the streets of El Paso and the surrounding area.

The local authorties telegraphed the Governor of Texas requesting help. A couple of days later the train rolled into El Paso and one Texas Ranger got off the train. The local officials asked where are the other Rangers ? The Texas Ranger said "One riot, one Texas Ranger."

In the past twenty or so years the liberal historians (revisionist) have been attacking the Texas Rangers history because they never have been politically correct. No other American law enforcement agency has shot and killed so many Mexicans than the Texas Rangers. The Texas Rangers is one of the oldest law enforcement agencies in America. Before the creation of the U.S. Border Patrol, it was the Texas Rangers who protected the border along the Rio Grande. And they did a better job than the federal government ever has.

The Texas Rangers were the elite "peace officers" and Indian fighters of America. They are Americana.
It's a disgrace that the liberal revisionist are targeting the Texas Rangers.
But isn't that what liberal revisionit do, attack Americana ?

Dude is basically proud that they shoot Mexicans.
 
That article is from 28 August.

Good morning, apdst. :2wave:

So it appears we have been arming and training the rebels, many of whom are AlQueda (sp) for quite some time! It figures! We don't have enough problems in our own country that are being ignored, but need to be be handled? Who makes those decisions, and why do we get involved in overthrowing governments? Isn't that for the people involved to decide, which they will ultimately do, if Egypt is any indication.

I read this morning that the House is trending six to one against a strike in Syria, while the Senate is more evenly divided at this point. It will be interesting to see the actual vote when it occurs, because the American public is apparently letting DC know their feelings about this. :peace:

They use to shoot Mexicans. Today they just slap the cuffs on the bandino while shaking their hand.
Very impressive. You would think other law enforcement agencies would follow suit instead of using SWATT when arresting some 70 year old lady for failure of paying a parking ticket.

Point 1) IIRC, in mid-June the USS Kearsarge and the USS San Antonio docked in the Jordanian port of Aqaba as part of Exercise Eager Lion 2013 which is an annual exercise with allies in the region. Before the warships departed for Eilat, Israel however, around 300 US Marines from the 26th MEU remained in Jordan. Their task was to assist in training Syrian rebels in Jordan. The first unit of these US trained rebels entered Syria from Jordan only a few days before the gas attack on August 21.

Point 2) Granting overflight rights to US cruise-missiles is technically not launching an attack from Jordanian soil.

I wonder if there are any VMFA squadrons in Jordan ?

Ooops ! Was I suppose to even mention that ?
 
Where is the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing?
What can 700 dudes do anyway ;)
 
Now unlike the warmongering, bloodthirsty chickenhawk neo-cons of the Iraqi War, I never said invade.

Back when Clinton launched a few missiles in retaliation no self respecting Con called that blood thirsty did they?

So you seem to be making crap up.... but then again that seems to be a Con tactic.... :peace

No just bomb them from afar and assist Al Qaeda as they murder Christians.

You're the neocon and you're not even aware of it. I never supported the Iraq War. I hate all wars. You're the phony who wants to bomb innocent brown people while at the same time helping Al Qaeda. Have you seen the videos of the "rebels" murdering Christians. Why are you and Obama supporting these bloodthirsty monsters?

Or do nothing and allow Iranian terrorists to do the same once the rebellion is put down. Somehow I don't see Assad in a live and let live mood once the fighting dies down- note I don't say ceases all together.

WTF do you mean by bringing color of skin into this?

You fixate on Sunni terrorists while ignoring Shiite ones? Seriously?

This isn't a missile strike to topple Assad, but to punish the use of Chemical weapons.

I am not a neo-con. I didn't support regime change in Iraq nor planting the seeds of democracy in a desert. I'm more the guy who sweeps up after the crap fest that was neo-con penis waving.

Face it- Neo con hubris has set in motion a series of events that are not all that positive. Ending our mission in Iraq didn't end the trouble. the Con debacle in Iraq has created a new vietnam syndrome causing the once puffing and strutting American citizen is fear any military action- even one the Cons decry as an empty gesture- while other cons claim it will kill thousands... :roll:

I understand the fixation some have on christians, but thousands of other folks are being killed as well. Might want to use a telescope and not a microscope.
 
Satellites cost money. Satellites can only cover a fraction of the world's oceans. That's why the Soviets/ Russians, Chinese spent billions on satellites to keep track of where our ships were. Lets keep them spending billions. We're still spending tens of billions on spy satellites.

I suppose we could fall back on Ouija Boards and goat entrails.:roll:

Do you know why U-2's are still flying today ?

Obama did nothing when the Iranians put down their Revolution in 2009. The protesters were begging for his support. He did nothing.

WTF do you mean by bringing color of skin into this?

Obama and the Democrats are rubbing their hands together eager to bomb more brown people. Using drones from afar to kill American children isn't satisfying enough apparently

You fixate on Sunni terrorists while ignoring Shiite ones? Seriously?

Huh? The rebels are Christian killing terrorists. Why do you support them you bloodthirsty warmonger?

This isn't a missile strike to topple Assad, but to punish the use of Chemical weapons.

We're not the world's police force. It's none of our business warmonger.

I am not a neo-con. I didn't support regime change in Iraq nor planting the seeds of democracy in a desert. I'm more the guy who sweeps up after the crap fest that was neo-con penis waving.

You are a bloodthirsty warmongering neocon who supports terrorists that are killing Christians. The only reason why your doing this is because you've been programmed to support everything that Obama does.

Ending Iraq didn't end our trouble? It was The Left who demanded we pull out. Not a few sentences up you're complaining about Iran. How much better would our strategic position be right now (especially in regards to Iran) if you cowards hadn't pulled out of Iraq after we sacrificed so many lives to establish a foothold there. Now we have nothing as the violence once again increases in that country. Thank you Obama and the Democrats :applaud

I understand the fixation some have on christians, but thousands of other folks are being killed as well. Might want to use a telescope and not a microscope.

These people are not objects to you. This is not a Republican/Democrat argument. We're not in the midst of a Presidential Campaign. Get your soul out of the sewer for 5 seconds. Seriously.

There are no sides to choose in this conflict. It is not our war. THe War Criminals pushing for the US to involved in yet another ME War that could potentially light up WW3 need to tried and sentenced for War Crimes.

How to Hide a Task Force


>" An earlier discussion raised the question of how a carrier task force could hide in the open ocean and questioned whether such an operation could be successful near land.

The following discussion will be split into several parts and will remain at a somewhat top level. The reasons should be obvious. Specific references will be made to a particular operation, NORPAC 82, but details on tactics and modern systems will not be disclosed. These tactics are essentially the same as during WWII. The historical accounts of the German surface raiders, USN submarine actions, IJN surface and CV operations, and of course the USN surface and CV operations during that conflict include many examples of the following basic tactics.


The main question is: How do you hide a task force at sea? The answer in very general terms is; by not telling the other guy where you are.

This is not as dumb as it sounds.

To illustrate take the following generic situation and think of the naval environment. One actually could extend this to other environments as well..."<
