I have never seen so many words being used to "debate" the exact same foreign policy. I only last about 50 minutes before my head caved in.

I suppose the only thing they were debating was who should execute their foreign policy. No differences at all in the actual policy.

Yeah I'm glad I didn't fight sleep to stay up and watch this last night. However, trying to watch it first thing in the morning before work has possibly ruined my day. I made it about 2/3 of the way.

How I saw the Presidential Foreign Policy debate tonight…

Both candidates are being overly optimistic about the US role in the "New Silk Road". Fact Afghanistan has signed an agreement with India to take over training security forces, once the US pulls out in 2014.

I'm confused. What possible role would the US have in the "New Silk Road", which is all about keeping the west/NATO out of the affairs of the eastern world.

I find it kinda funny that I've never heard SCO mentioned on the MSM and I bet you'd draw blank stares if you mentioned it to a newscaster.

I have heard it mentioned ONCE on C-SPAN, and IIRC I found 3 mentions in a search of their archives. For an organization who's member states have 1.5 Billion citizens and conduct military exercises together and could take on and probably kick NATO's ass, this is odd...

The people who support this horror show are as bad as the German people who turned a blind eye to Hitler. Pride goeth before the fall, and I have no freakin pity for these petty monsters who vote for them, or the major monsters they vote for. I am past the tolerance of ignorance into full-blown contempt for anybody that is even capable of not actively opposing this nightmare. :weep:

Our only hope at this point is for America to collapse economically quickly enough before one of these monsters can go on a murder spree destroying 5 more countries and drawing Russia and China into a world war. God help us if the dollar holds out long enough for one of these psychopaths to push the button on Syria and Iran. I don't thing the American people have contemplated what war with Russia and China would really mean. :weep:

The final murder spree will quite possibly be internal. They haven't been setting up laws like NDAA for no reason.

Actually Gunny wasn't too far off. The German people had reported more Jews/dissidents to the Gestapo than the Gestapo were able to uncover themselves through their warrantless searches and seizures.

See something, say something.
