What "doodling"? Why did the Liberals vote in favour of the Afghan extension? Why did the Liberals and NDP vote in favour of the air strikes in Libya? Now why do they oppose action in Iraq?

Perhaps, but prior votes on operations in Libya and the extension on the Afghan mission forced everyone to put their cards on the table........

Sure, but ignoring it, won't make it go away..........

Explain the vote prior to the similar operation in Libya...............

Without a doubt.......as I'm sure you know, our economic engine is fuelled by dinosaur bones under all that sand.......When the oil stops, everything stops

.......or another returns the favour......until such a time though, inaction will only hasten the inevitable....

For sure........ignoring said monster is not a viable strategy....Kill or be killed.

Such actions beget Empires......and maintain them.

So to the Third Republic and Pax Britannica........and one day, Pax Americana, that is a constant, yet eventual theme of all Empires.......But the human precondition to violence and tribalism will remain…….as long as there are humans and tribes.

What is the difference, in your view, between the First World War's aims (and results) in the Middle East and that of the Romans 2000 years earlier? Different actors, but same script.

Could not that be asked of any war, namely in the context of white people, to borrow your phrase, diddling in the Middle East? This clash of civilizations is hardly new....

I offered two quantified opinions on the Americans use of the F-22…….you offered an explanation best accompanied by the adorning of a hat made from tin-foil……You can continue to wait or carry on with this meme as you please.

I doubt it.......perception and context is lost on many........There were more allied deaths during the Normandy invasion, then there's been fighting the war on terror since 2001.....One has to ask, why was World War II a just war, but the War on Terror is not?

This goal: I would say lack of political capital endowed by the populace, fostered by the influx of 24/7 media.

You're confusing military with navy.......granted the majority of said navy was comprised of vessels not much larger than your typical fishing boat.....

FTFY.........Know your enemy

Not sure if it warrants its own thread, none the less, I think, bias aside, this begs a good question of Trudeau.....I wonder if Trudeau would allow a free vote for the Liberals in the House.

Exactly........and when one employs said doctrine to the Second World War, the Allies should never have entered into it.....I doubt, if asked, Churchill, FDR, King or Stalin could have answered such questions....

I never said Janes got it wrong, they presented a clear quote from Putin.........which indicated a portion of the order was complete, which would jibe with this Israeli report

Such information, though presented in detail at our meeting, is not at my fingertips (nor memory) for the exact listing of specific seats........as to the "new seats", said breakdown of the new seats, and which ones will be carved out of existing safe Tory ridings, should be obtainable with your Google-fu.

You provided a link quoting the Russian president stating they halted the order, after delivering a portion........

I think this is the other 2.0 guy that you seek

Sure, why not? Was such criteria present on September 3rd, 1939?

From your article: What is there, and who controls it?????

Why would you say that? As I said, in either/or this thread or the one on a LPC/NDP coalition, from internal data presented at our last riding association meeting, based upon the current landscape, if the election were held today, it was determined the result being a toss-up minority Government for either the Conservatives or Liberals…….though, from reflection, your presented numbers don’t jibe from the data that I’ve seen (this is not a comment of your presented source), one possible result (Liberal Minority) is shared……….but I’ve yet to see any data indicating the possibility of a Liberal Majority presently or that the Liberals are even approaching such territory.
