Well watched the President address America tonight. This will be interesting to see if the coalition actually commits ground troops. I'm a little concerned about sending another 450 personnel to the region. If I'm counting right that will be now 1500+ there. One thing a little confusing in the thinking is they won't be involved in any combat. We are told they are only to protect the embassy and other assets. So are they just going to talk their way out of situations.

Every time his poll numbers start sinking he feels a need to get in front of the cameras and then proceeds to try and justify his incompetent "leadership". The way he walks, his body language, the look on his face tells me that this is a man who is trying to present himself as being large and in charge, but at the same time realizes that his lies are catching up to him and his confidence is beginning to wane.
The voices of those who mysteriously died to cover up his ineligibility and scandals, cry out from beyond the grave demanding justice be served. The burden of knowing that he's not an Abraham Lincoln and that history is going to judge him harshly for every tax dollar squandered, and for every scandal and death that occurred on his watch is visible; it's written all over his face. Every time he should be demonstrating leadership, he goes campaigning, or golfing!!! Frankly, I don't think he has enough leadership to lead a platoon out of a burning house!

It's not that we have one isolated incident. It's the totality of so-called "coincidences" that the odds of which are like having all the planets in perfect alignment (which incidentally has never happended in the history of our solar system). There is a common denominator in all these "mysterious deaths." The evidence is circumstantial. Figure the odds that Andrew Breitbart would die of a heart attack just before he was going to release evidence to the public about Barack Obama's lack of eligibility. He was in his forties. Okay, so it happens. Then figure the odds that his coroner dies before the results of the autopsy were published. For a list of all these unimaginable coincidences, give this a read:

No. I believe what is called the "Gulf War Syndrome" is actually heavy metal poisoning caused by inhaling dust containing depleted uranium. Depleted uranium is not only toxic like lead but it is still radioactive. Much of it was introduced into the environment as a fine dust shaved off the edges of depleted uranium darts that passed through the armor of iraqi tanks as well as rounds fired by the A-10's, etc. That dust mixed with the fine dust of the sand and every time the wind blows it gets carried aloft and those inhaling it are exposed to the depleted uranium which gets into their lungs and absorbed by their bodies.
The symptoms of Gulf War Syndrome are elusive but I believe it's real and something we should consider. While depleted uranium is great to use in kinetic weapons because of its high density of mass, it comes with a cost to the environment and those who must live and operate in that environment. Should we be looking for alternatives?

The VA has recently started acknowledging "multiple symptoms" that cannot be diagnosed and linking them back to presence in the gulf.
I don't know if it's depleted uranium Capt Schwager, but I think the fine dust/sand is definitely part of the equation.
I remember having to spend days cleaning vehicles to kill micro-organisms that live there, so we wouldn't bring them to other countries. If some of those microbes were getting into our SM lungs (with or without with depleted Uranium) who knows what kind of health concerns they would present.
Add in burn pits, and every other environmental hazard we just expose ourselves to on a daily basis.. It's no wonder people end up with a myriad of unexplained conditions.

Excerpt from the POTUS Address: "Let me be perfectly clear. ISIS is NOT Islamic"
That's right, Mr. President. I'm sure the first 'I' just stands for 'Inspirational.'

WO1 Palmer U. - to start with your numbers, depending on whose figures you use, there are between 1.2 billion and 2 billion Muslims in the world today - that means *if* your 120 million had any basis in a discussion about the Daeshi in Syria and Iraq, it would constitute 6-10% of the Muslim population. You also rather neatly conflate "membership" and "support" - they really are different things, as I'm sure you're aware.
The KKK may have only 6-10,000 active members at the moment. They have had far greater numbers before and in the 1950s had regular marches on the Washington Mall. No, they don't call themselves the "Christian State of America" (although that would have the virtue of reusing an acronym many of their members would have supported). Nonetheless, the estimates of the various armed groups that share a similar ideology (Aryan Nations, Christian Identity, Aryan Brotherhood, etc...) have far larger memberships - some estimates put their US membership at 100-300,000. A picture of the Christian Identity folks doesn't have quite the easy identification that the KKK has, but I don't think most people think the Christian Identity folks speak for Christians. Nor do I think most people believe that the Aryan Nations or Brotherhood speak for White people. I know they don't speak for me.
The KKK cloaked their ignorance and hate in religious language (e.g. - "God ordained the separation of the races..."), much as the Daeshi, AQ, and the Taliban do. Plenty of people have, over the centuries, claimed a Christian basis for the barbarities they perpetrated. As Karl Popper remarked in 'Utopia and Violence': "We all remember how many religious wars were fought for a religion of love and gentleness; how many bodies were burned alive with the genuinely kind intention of saving souls from the eternal fire of hell."
To return to numbers - may be true that as many as 10% of Muslims are tacit supporters of Daeshi, AQ, the Taliban, etc... - but far, far fewer are actively involved. It is likely that less than 1% are involved in the active portion of any of the movements - and that includes recruiters, fundraisers, planners, "soldiers," trainers, and the media relations. To be clear, 1% is a very big number still - possibly as many as 20 million people.
