So, you are a moron for missing the point...again and again and again
and again, ad infinitum.

What point are you trying to make? That you couldn't explain why one should vote for Mrs. Mao, and now you're sore because Mrs. Mao didn't make it to the White House?

That point is obvious.


And again and again and again, ad nauseum...

You're absolutely right about that. Pakistan is arguably one of the
more advanced Muslim countries and they're still stoning people to
death for blasphemy.

Yet.

Have you ever seen an old electrolytic capacitor blow up? One of my
childhood acquaintances had one go right through the ceiling.

If you look at the capacitors in a PC, you will see they have an X cut
in the top of the can. They just pop open like a dinner roll instead
of exploding. The guys who still fix these things start right away by
replacing all of the capacitors or at least the ones that show any
sign of swelling or cracking open. These are hobbyists, not business
people.


Best capacitor I ever saw explode was one evening in the dark in a traffic
jam and the huge capacitor on a power pole next to the freeway went off
like a Roman candle, just happened to be looking in the correct direction.
Impressive,

The goal in Vietnam wasn't to "win". Same in Korea.

Why would we send our kids into a war we had no plans of winning?

I could **** you off right away and make you a hawk if I pointed out
why we have any interest in the middle east at all. It certainly is

Maybe it's just simple humanitarianism.

Yeah. That was a myth quickly de-bunked.

The Snooze Press (Ft Myers paper) had an interesting article about
this bomb. It was developed at Eglin AFB in the pan handle and they
were talking to a guy there.
It turns out this is the most expensive barrel bomb I have ever heard
of. These are 16 million a pop. I am not quite sure why you need
precision guidance on a bomb with a 1 mile blast radius but it has it.
I am still not sure why it is so expensive but it is a DoD project.
The guy was saying he really expected these things to be "demilled"
(scrapped) probably because they were approaching their expiration
date. I suppose it was "use it or lose it" for the air force.
I am still not sure how effective it actually was but since it is
really a "shock and awe" weapon, I suppose we shocked someone using
it.
In typical fashion, the russians just packed a bigger tank with
explosive and have a bigger one but I am not sure if it is guided and
I know it was a lot cheaper.



If you believe the Pentagon, it was the perfect weapon for the intended
purpose. Apparently several attempts by Afghan forces (with American
special force advisers) had been made with boots on the ground to clear
the caves and tunnels of ISIS without success. They just ran through
the tunnels into Pakistan. The MOAB took care of that problem.




I read where the bomb killed a couple of dozen people. Big ****ing Deal.
At some point, we'll just pull out of Afghanistan and stop wasting
American lives and American money. Your not-so-almighty military isn't
going to solve it.

Thanks, Krause, I'd predicted the liberals would whine about the cost. Took you a couple days, but
you didn't let me down.



Indeed, Afghanistan isn't worth the price of another American soldier's
life...unless, of course, it would be your life.
As for the dollars we are wasting there, there is better use for them at
home, rebuilding this crumbling country.

It's so funny. You weren't spouting your crap a few years back.


Thats because president towel head was surrendering to every
little african and middle eastern country he could. He was
emptying our treasury as fast as he could. He was building an
army of homeless and medicaid dependant. He was trashing the
constitution. He and his extended family and friends were taking
exotic vacations around the world. Life was good for president
towel head and Harry cheered him on only because he was
black.



I'm no longer astonished by how utterly stupid you have to be to be a
Republican supporter of Donald Trump.

Again, why were you not spouting your crap when your hero was in office. All he ever did was good,
eh? Justan's comments above are spot on, regardless of your name-calling - which, BTW, is the
typical liberal out when backed into a corner.
