The Commander doesn't look old enough to shave.

"You are a fanatic. "
No I am a Patriotic American who recognizes the enemy. You cannot.


"You just don't get it. "

Yes I do, it is you who doesnt get it


"Then we can be done with each other."
Good, you havent addressed the points I've outlined in this post, there is no reason to continue debating you, with your sympathy for the enemy!

Hey, Stellar Deadwrong, your malicious smearing is wearing very thin. Take your puffed-up uber-patriotism and shove it sideways.

This is all little Stell has (childish attempts at smearing) - Because he is as intellectually empty as they come on FR -

 probably yanked the damn thing over.
 
I suspect that whoever made that decision was desperate and thought, "What the hell, they're gonna die if we don't." But in hindsight, dumb move. Here's hoping for a smooth, soft muddy bottom off the coast of Kamchatka...

" Sometimes you have to put a face on a news story to give it real meaning. Here is the Commander of the mini-sub."

He may climb out of the hatch and walk ashore, but his ass is grassed at this point.

"...sonar listening post designed to listen for US subs..."

Yeah, kinda what I was thinking. Did the Russians keep this quiet at first? And did they not want the world to know? I think so. Could be interesting or ho-hum. We'll see I hope.

Theres nothing childish about it, DevSix. I had caught you in many statements affirming your support for muslim fanatics and providing misinformation on this forum. Do you know Cultural Jihad?

"Fishing nets? I thought they had changed the story to admit they were underwater antennas that were held down by 60 ton anchors..

The news story I heard was that they had snagged a fishing net but were still able to go through the water until a cable or something like that caught onto the antenna and then it couldn't go anymore.

Why don't you celebrate and pray for the rescue and experience a little joy in your life, rather than just engage in meaningless, narcissistic point-scoring and one-upmanship ?

But the burdens on you to show us, just what we armed him with. I won't hold my breath.

I will man up and take take a whoopin' on that one. No, there is no hard evidence of direct transfer.

But, there is no recording of second and third party reselling, is there>

We do know that America was certainly interested is Sadaam having his way - Remember April Glaspie? Something like, "we have no interest one way or the other about your dispute over the oil fields in Kuwait."

Dude, don't let me interfere with your simple black/white view of the world. Keep your uniform on, watch for thought crime, go out and try to whip up a mob into attacking some Russians, lets see have I forgotten anything?

Life is complex. Everyone's life doesn't revolve around global politics. Actually my guess is that only about 1 % of our citizens think about it daily. Most people live, love, cook, have hobbies, read books, listen to music, go to church, jog, eat, etc. We just empathise with people suffocating geo political concerns put aside in moments of being human.

But hey,,keep vigilent and watch out for scheming people. And if you momma and daddy or sisters look like they are sympathising with the enemy, well you know what to do.

What's a few cables and a fishing net.

Hell, the Ruskies should be happy they are not caught in a Tholian Web.

I wonder why?

here is an old post by CJ which excuses martyrdom by islamofascists by comparing them christians:

To: JudyinCanada

Not to excuse or rationalize anyone's beliefs that committing murder is something holy to do, but martyrdom is a highly honored state of grace in Christianity, as well.

It's no secret that the Russians do acoustic surveillance. They just didn't want us to know the exact location of the thing.
