This blood thirsty talk is scary. This is how we ended up in that mess with Iraq. Blood lust ugh.

Speaking of blood lust, where is shay and barfly?

[FLLFlash]

John Batchelor is so dead on.

The amazing thing is that he and Art in such agreement.

[The Coincidence Kid]

More war! More everything!

[MABUSE]

Read "Catastrophe: An Investigation into the Origins of Modern Civilization" by David Keys to find much of the origin of what is now playing out
as well as a crystal clear example of historical cycles repeating now.

Yeah, did they ever find those WMDs?

In the shed "celebrating" Barfly's birthday. 

[swordpoint9]

Yep. Probably started before that tho and was abundantly exacerbated by Bush taking down Iraq. Many, many enemies were spawned by that war.

Being one who helped to restabilize it . It didn't work because Paul Bremmer fired all security and Military folks . I major fuck up !

[Rocky4228]

This guy is the first guest on MITD that has actually scared me.

It's Barfly's birthday today.  They're probably having a private party in the shed.

It'd be nice to be an isolationist nation, worrying mainly about security within the borders. But I think it's too late for that, unfortunately.

That is true lol.

Going into Iraq was the first mistake.  The 2nd and greater one was Cheney thinking Iraq would be transformed into a dusty Indiana six months after conquest.

"Gotta stop that Terrorism!"

Axis of Evil! We already went through this nonsense after 9/11. Why is Art wanting to repeat those mistakes?

+1. More civilians were killed by Shias vs Sunnis after the invasion, than during the invasion. We didn't target mosques.  They targeted each other's.

I don't know but somehow 300,000 tons of Yellow cake  went to Canada to be destroyed. Syria had a large amount of stuff too  LOL

[FLLFlash]

nobody is gonna read this post, but this guest is fucking stupid

Oofa.

[SaucyRossy]

Listening to Bachelor and Bell talk about geo political issues is like peaking into the back room that very few are allowed to sit down in. It's terrible that what happened in Paris is what brought them back together to have a second discussion, but there aren't two better broadcasters in the world I'd rather listen to.

Something about the Founding Fathers warning against “foreign entanglements”?

[albrecht]

Holger Dansk and the Golem is going to uprise against it!!!

Hey let's, the three of us go crash the party!  Um, on second thought, maybe not such a good idea.

We never could do that, sadly. It's far too late now though.

Jefferson put My Marine Corps in Tripoli against the Islamist of His day LOL !

Heather--

Would love to hear Mr Batchelor on as a monthly guest with Art.  He's bright, articluate, and knows his way around a microphone.

I agree, that was an excellent discussion.

[(Sandman) Logan-5]

Not just us. Every Western nation. We haven't got the intestinal tools anymore. We need an anti-terror version of Curtis LeMay.

Ha ha ha...   Gotta agree with you on that !

[Lt.Uhura]

Nah, he's not that simple.  That's over-simplifying his perspective.  Art's a guy who's been around a long, long time.  He's learned a lot and I, for one, am always interested in hearing what he has to say when tshtf like this.

True.  I too appreciate hearing his wise opinions, but lose interest when he occasionally returns to his
let's nuke 'em mode.

History's a bitch!  Well done Marine.
