Word is he's urging the Kurds to do ground fighting. I suspect he's (foolishly) relying on that and his fantasy of a popular uprising.

- He didn't really plan this, so he doesn't yet have sufficient ground forces in the area.
- Telling people to leave isn't actually helping them do so, and that failure is well documented. He just wants to dodge blame for any proxy attacks on Americans.

Nobody else made it to gate #3 on time.

Note: Not a comment on any attempted justification for the war itself.

In any war it's inevitable that some bullets or bombs will go astray. But a decent country does all it can to prevent that, and if it happens anyway, would immediately own up, apologize, offer condolences and compensation, for whatever that would be worth.

Apparently her boyfriend Lewandowski got canned today too.

Was it a tingly feeling in his left arm or numbness on one side of his body?

I mean, he is really defensive about it.

Frankly, I don't think they planned for Iranians shooting back.

I remember that song playing on the school bus radio.

Flip side is that he suffers from the dictatorial curse: surrounded by sycophants, hearing only what he wants, he may think he's popular.

Oh yes. He spent a good bit of time here and knew our productive capacity. I believe his quote was "I can run wild for six months to a year, but after that I have no hope in ultimate victory."

I think it's the *types* of input. It's certainly feasible to use motor skills while using intellectual skills, or even two different intellectual skills (like listening to music while reading). But I think trying to absorb two of the same kind of input would jumble them.

I don't think it's a matter of the sensory input, but of the ability to process both at once.

I think you're nudging the goalposts. I don't dispute that we would've still won, but a talented commander could've affected a lot of battles before the A-bomb was ready.

True, and Yamamoto knew that; but his loss probably made resistance to the American advance less effective. Several major battles could've gone the other way, or caused heavier U.S. losses, with better Japanese command and control.

Criticism in hopes of improvement is qualitatively different from criticism that aims for destruction.

Not a head of state, but it's arguable the death of Yamamoto had a deleterious effect on Japanese capability in the Pacific.

She's only following orders: Destroy both channels.

It's Trump's face merged with Epstein's.

Notice it's never "brain day."

Fine, so long as they neglect to also flag the addition of "sphincter" and "vomit."

Hegseth is delighted at the prospect of a cheap new liver.

The difficulty is not really in building a bomb. Given the materials, that's within the capability of a good college chemistry/physics department.
The prob is building an adequate delivery system: one reliable enough to reach the target and not go off on your own territory.

Hey, we don't exist either!

Since he maintains that he really won in 2020, by his own reckoning he has been "elected" three times and therefore must resign.

News media should be:
- decentralized
- collaborative
- nonprofit
- employee- and/or community-owned.

It is something I only wear when actually in Ohio.

AKA "Hey, what's this button do?"
