#2 Not going to make it! They have nothing to lose in the continuing delays. What will "W" do if they miss the deadline, say: "G*******t, I'm taking my troops out Right Now !" Yeah right.

#3 stupid's my name is either a) a leftist troll, b) brain damaged from too many recreational drugs, c) a congenital fuckwit.

We tolerate a lot of diversity here at RB, but I'm at the point of asking the AoS (and Sea, rkb) to TROLL him.

#4 SMN trying to play nice, veil doesn't drop as much as it used to. I figure the seminar helped.

#5 SMN has been difficult in the past, but I fail to see what is objectionable in his post. Is the commenter who says something with which you disagree automatically a troll? Are we going to allow no one to clean up their act? Are we going to allow no one to disagree with the party line?

#6 It's been a long hot August already, with more to come, and a tense time with Iran among others.

SMN has been making a habit of moving to provocative language right out of the gate. Not helpful. It's not the disagreement of opinion, it's the intentional use of language designed to hijack the conversation from the start.

#7 smn isn't worth troll-banning. The bait is negligible, the arguments tissue-thin, and overall, a weakass effort

#8 Frank, You and Shipman leave me with a warm feeling inside...phil_b, I can't reach...the fog!

#9 Phil_b, what is a troll? Could it be someone who doesn't atleast censor their own obsenities? Or could it be one which is so pursuaded as not to understand 'the higher, the lonelier'. For 30+ years, you didn't know who Deep Throat was, but you didn't give him as much pain!

#10 Mrs D, my problem with smn is not his (apparently) contrary opinions. I'm a supporter of diversity of opinion here, not least because I not infrequently post contrary opinions myself. My problem with smn is he is incoherent and as a result just noise - more stuff to skip over to get to something interesting. Note, that nobody engages him on the substance of his posts. IMO becuase whatever point he has to make (assuming he has one) gets lost in his convoluted and cryptic (onanastic) verbiage. I don't know what his problem is and I really don't care. All I ask is he either makes sense or goes. And if that requires he be TROLLed then so be it.

#11 phil_b, question for thought...What makes you feel better? Planting your flag on smn's head, or the Iraqi's settling the remaining 15 constitutional issues before the 15th? Even I know that answer!

#12 "noise" nails it, phil_b.

Be nice, you're misunderstood. Be nasty, you're misunderstood.

#16 I'm NOT a troll, becasue I don't know any Trolls, and it takes one to know one!

#17 Congratulations smn, someone is going to respond to you today. Don't project your motivations onto me. If I have something to say, then I say as clearly as I am able. I may not be as funny as some, or eloquent as others, but what I intend hopefully comes through. I clearly stated that you concern me becuase your posts are noise. That is the entire extent of my concern with you.

BTW, I have a soft spot for Joe ALL CAPS Mendiola. It takes all sorts, as my mother used to say.

#18 phil_b, shipman got it right, I'm trying to play nice. I don't like the veil to drop, and the seminar has worked. I try to confine my "rants" to the articles and not direct them to fellow Rantburgers, however when my loyalty to this country is brought to the fore (ie you and 2b and pappy), I will step down from my pedestal and fire from both barrels!

#19 smn, I don't give a rat's arse about your motivations, and I'll wager nobody else does either. Vitriol in the right hands produces good stuff.

Make sense and you'll have no problems with me. I'll even forgive your ignorance which you demonstrated in your comment on Azerbaijan. I get my ignorance on certain topics pointed out to me on a regular basis here. Its part of Ranburg's attraction.

BTW, I'm not an American and references to patriotism in relation to me are off topic.

#21 Be nice Frank, SMN is doing it's best. Yes, this is the best.

#22 Frank, your gold coin has copper in it! Phil_b, any idiot reasonable person can see the tactical superiority of establishing an Azerbaijan base in response to any future Iranian threat.
Shipman, your light is a shining beacon, through the fog!! I'm so misunderstood, that's why I didn't introduce myself at the Washington meeting!

#23 It happens I know more than most about Azerbaijan, but I'll save an analysis for another day.
