Im not sure what you mean. How do we lose if he gives up his weapons?

dude.. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/29/us...anted=all&_r=0

Well, its kind of complicated, but the truth is that there is a pretty strong case that the War Powers Act of 1973 would not stand up to constitutional scrutiny. There are people who say the War Powers Act violates the Constitution in that the Constitution already enumerates how Congress...

Interesting, related article about presidential war powers and Congress. http://www.latimes.com/opinion/comme...,7351566.story and another, even better one illustrating the Administrations calculus. http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/...-legal/279298/

Best way out for the US. Take the weapons, uphold international norms, avoid congress vote. Sure, Erdogan will be pissed they dont get pipeline, and the Saudis will be pissed we arent removing Assad for them, but all in all... best possible option.

Two different arguments. Are you arguing guns are the protector of individual rights from their government, or that guns make Red Dawn fantasies possible?

Great rebuttal. Fuck off

George Washington didn't solo the British. The rebellion GW led was born from the ideas of the enlightenment. Two Treatise of Government was far more important than the musket. The ONLY defense the individual has against tyranny is an educated citizenry which values personal freedom and...

No, the argument is ridiculous. It isn't soldier vs the civilian either with gun or sword. It is, as it has always been in history, the story of the group vs the individual. Guns or weapons or even capability are nothing compared to group. Mans best protection against either the more...

I wonder about the equalizer argument. Does that mean all men were equals before Sam Colt? Everyone had the pretty much the same weapon. Couldn't we all be just as equal if we all had knifes or Bows? Why weren't the Dark Ages times of great personal freedom? Would we be even more equal...

Probably alot How many rebels were killed when his father bulldozed over Hama? Assad was using the chemical weapons to force rebels out of a number of different areas. http://www.businessinsider.com/map-s...y-obama-2013-8 So, the rebels not only gas themselves, but do it over a number...

Well, I mean, shit.. Its not rocket surgery. I know everyone loves conspiracy theories, but come the fuck on. Assad has Sarin in possession. Its secured with the highest priority. He has the rockets. He has had trouble moving troops into rebel areas due to high numbers of IEDs being...

The best part of WWII was actually when we used Agent Orange on the Turks in the Battle of the Somme clearing the way for General Broadstreet to take Tripoli.

Infinitely more important to Russia... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian...lity_in_Tartus http://www.rferl.org/content/explain.../24619441.html It is their last remaining military installation outside of Russia.

Hitler lost the war at Gettysburg and Dunkirk /end thread

Are you really going to argue that imperialism was a good thing? C'mon dude... Do you even Belgian Congo? As far as arming and training citizens, its contextual. My frame of reference is NYC.NYC is an amazingly safe place when you consider its size.. I feel safer in NYC than I do in New...

Whatever allows him to survive. I think he has to try to hide as much as he can and then come out after 90 days and claw back whatever he lost in an all out battle of the bulge type offensive.

I really don't think he can prepare. Can someone explain to me how Assad fights the rebels with the US blowing the shit out of anything thats Syrian Army that pokes its head out of a hole. How do you hold any territory or stop any advance? What happens to the Army with its entire...

http://www.reddit.com/r/EQNext/comme..._build_things/ So he says players will be able to create things using the AI in Landmark. More sandboxy. (Could PvP in the mode of Clash of Clans designing your own base and creating an army of scripted AI soldiers, but with 1st person be the $$ maker?)

All we really need is force denial. He is in an active civil war. How do you fight a rebel army if you can't move anything or anywhere? What if rebels amass outside Damascus or anywhere else. Rebels also now have complete unhindered freedom of movement. They can go anywhere, anytime...

I read it more that people in congress were going to attack him politically no matter what he did, so the administration wants to make everyone a shareholder in whatever action they take, or don't take. Also, it was one of primary reasons he was elected. Obama is lucky. Britain saved him...

Ponytail just said the DE models aren't finished... They still have to show it unspoilered Fedor posts for 48 straight hours. That should do it. Finished version

Not striking carries as much negative potential as striking. Obama just put it on Congress, and more over, on us. If there is enough opposition to this, and I really think there is... many Democrats will not vote for it. Id love to see a whole bunch of townhall meetings on this issue...

There will be an intense national debate about if WE should do this or not. This is how democracies should work.

The right choice.

The good of this place is that if there is ANY criticism to be made, its been made on this board and its validity measured. The problem with reddit is that it includes all possible praise but without the circumspection.

Goatse, obviously.

Well, to be honest, SoE asked for this. When you release every detail slowly, people will go over in excruciating detail every... detail. If SoE dropped a shitload of information, or just waited to release a playable demo, 75% of this shit would go unremarked upon. Take the hottest girl...

Interesting infoz from MMORPG.com

Dark elves look like shit. Zero character. As I posted on reddit, they look like farmers painted blue with ears slapped on them. People went crazy getting masks of deception for a reason, DE had a corrupt royal feel to them. Anyone who ever read the Elric/Stormbringer books know exactly...

Enough of the broken record shit. If they wind up not releasing anything substantial new at PAX then bitch, but holy fuck, you are like a little kid saying he hates some food he never tried.

http://m.pcgamer.com/2013/08/28/soe-...-employee-base Mostly QA and Customer Support.

If AQ is fighting the Syrians, wouldn't Otto Von Bismarck do everything he could to EXTEND the war? "Our enemies are killing each other.. How lovely.. Pass the weinerschnitzel" Obviously we want to protect Jordan and Iraq from becoming unstable from refugees... But fuck.. Maybe we bomb...

An MMO without meaningful competition is just a virtual line of people waiting for a digital handout.

I think I figured out the secret behind the advanced AI. PROJECT M, BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!! Death Penalty too. If you die, you come back as a mob, and can only get your character back when you kill a different PC!

I want to disagree with you but I can't. The reality is, Syria hasn't even broken any international law. While they signed the Geneva Convention, that only makes it an illegal act to use gas on other countries, there is nothing in there against using them on your own people. An attack by...

The Syrians present quite a dilemma. http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/26/opinio...rticle_sidebar Pretty good read about how Al-Assad has shit in his own pool to prevent anyone else from jumping in. His greatest protection after using chemical weapons is the same that protects Somalia and North...

Lots and lots of Drones.

Why did Saddam gas the Kurds?
