Oh, and every soldier is still issued a bayonet when they go to war.

Epic Fail

I think it was an anti 2nd amendment statement. In other words if you have an assault rifle with a bayonet lug on it....kiss it good bye.

what?

I cannot believe Willard decided to compare the number of ships in the 1916 Navy to our forces now. The debate coach that came up with that assertion is an idiot.

It did illustrate just how backwards Willard's thinking is, though. He made a good point for Obama.

Actually, only a fucking moron would think he was comparing Navy's of now to 1916.

He used 1916 as a point of reference as "lowest amount of ships since 1916"

That was not comparing...it was an actual point of reference.....

a reference in comparing numbers.....Seriously you people can't be this dense?

They aren't that dense....they are flailing, grasping at any straw they can.....and of course, spinning faster than a Dremel tool trying to find fault with Obama last night.

Yeah, Obama's reaction to it was childlike and stupid but it is pretty much what many have come to accept from Obama.

And if Romney did the same to Obama, you'd still be sitting in you recliner with your pants down and a box of tissues handy. Because "gotchas" are only cool when your boy does it.

I thought the "We have aircraft carriers that you can actually land planes on" was even better. It was awesome to watch Romney crumble.

The retarded right on here is having a hissy fit though.

I understand their concern. Romney looked like a loser at "Amateur Night on Foregin Policy". How many times does he need to be asked DIRECTLY how he plans to pay for his new defense spending before he actually gives us an answer?

The president won on points regarding foreign policy. Guess what? He should have won. He has 4 years more experience regarding that topic. No surprise there. But what he won on points MAY have been taken away by his very un-presidential behaviors including the aircraft carriers response. But what was all that talk about how much stronger our relationship with Israel is now compared to the past 30 years? Quite untrue.

At the end of the day, the people who support Obama will continue, and the same goes for Romney. If the economy is the first and foremost concern in the "undecideds" eyes, the President won't see a huge bounce from the debate.

Wow.....Jarhead. Just wow. I am not accustomed to seeing you spin like this. Romney's floundering last night must have REALLY impacted you. Point of reference, really?

Romney's ignorance of middle-eastern geography was astounding.

He stated that Syria was Iran's route to the sea when in fact...

a) Iran has NO border with Syria

b) Iran has miles and miles of it's own coastline.

Which sea was he talking about?

Do you know?

There's more than one you know.....

Ummm...have you seen a map of the area?

If you notice...Iran would have to go through either Turkey, which is a NATO ally, or Iraq....THEN Syria to get to the Mediterranean Sea. Iraq isn't all that cool with Iran and I doubt they'd let that happen.

Mitt didn't know what the fuck he was talking about and apparently you don't either.

So, NOW it is a bad thing for the President to point out Romney's obvious stupidity as it refers to our military???? In the first debate, Obama was flat as a pancake and you righties jumped all over him for that. Now, he was on his game, accurate and knowledgeable about the debate questions and that is bad TOO? Maybe you righties just need to grow some balls and buck up a little?

Oh SURE....there you go with those facts and stuff....

The first questions to Romney should be, when he goes off on any rant about how much more we need to spend on defense,

how do we pay for it? Where does the money to pay for it come from?

1. Are you going to raise revenues to pay for it?

2. Will you cut government spending elsewhere to pay for it? If so, where, exactly?

3. Will you just borrow more to pay for it?

That is where that conversation should stop until Romney produces some satisfactory, plausible, palatable answers.

YES!!!! Hopefully, when he figures out how he plans to pay for it, he will also figure out how he plans to pay for his 20% across the board tax rate cuts!

“The first time we used our horses to train Special Forces was right after 9/11,” explains Mark Rossignol, business manager for Smith Lake Stables. Fort Bragg is home to the U.S. Army’s Special Operations Forces. “They were being sent to Afghanistan, and often the only way they can travel over there is by horse.”

Additionally, a sculpture depicting a US soldier riding horseback during the invasion of Afghanistan was unveiled near its new home on Friday near One World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan. The 16-foot-tall bronze statue, titled “De Opresso Liber,” depicts a Special Operations soldier in Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks, and commemorates the first time US troops used horses in combat since 1942.

Romneys stupidity as it pertains to the military?
Really?

Pointing out that we have less ships now than we did in 1916 yet need to protect many more square miles of shipping lanes and open sea...not to mention the need to have CSG's iin many different parts of the world at any given time for national security....and, of course, a CV group usually consists of the flat top, a few destroyers, a few warships, etc....

It was not showing stupidity. It was actually a valid point. Having a CV group within a days sail of any of our enemies can prove to be very helpful if someone wants to do something not in our best interest.

Our Navy is our best defense as it allows us nearly immediate offense. Without it, we are days away...leaving a better chance of the front being our shores.

It was a lie.

 

[VaYank5150]

Following the obama lack of logic, why increase funding for police and firefighters. They drive around in motorized vehicles. What a relief, for a minute it looked like he wanted to put more first responders on the streets.

He does. AND conversely, Romney wants to put more of our military personnel in harm's way to put first responders on OTHER country's streets. At OUR taxpayer expense, too! Why are you OK with that?

Because Obama is EVAHHL! Isn't that good enough reason for just about anything?

Actually, it was not a lie.

And if it were, why did Obama rationalize WHY we have less ships?

Does he not know what his military has?

BALONEY. We have NO need to have all of the warships we have now, much less the additional ones that are in Obama's 2013 budget, and certainly not the additional ones Romney wants to buy. WE ARE NOT BEING PAID TO BE THE WORLD'S POLICE.

We don't need more first responders. They don't walk, they ride around in cars. Firefighters no longer have a bucket brigade, they have hoses and hyrants. Following the failed obamalogic we don't need more, we need fewer first responders because they have better technology.

From last night's debate, Romney doesn't want to put anyone in harms way. To me, neither of them had appropriate responses to the Iran question on nuclear arms and neither of them understand that we need to prepare for nuclear war whether or not Iran stops its program.
