C-5s, C-17s and C-130s fly over my house all the time. If I'm working outside and see a C-5 in the distance, I grab my muffs. They are loud!
I saw one of the Antonovs at the Houston airport. That was HUUUUUGGGGEEE.
The press wasn't in that meeting but there have been others that were aired. One I remember with Schumer, Pelosi and Trump. Both Schumer and Pelosi were respectful to Trump during that one. Trump has a habit of disrespecting and attacking people personally, it's just part of his DNA.
Just about everyone in Syria is fighting Ayman al-Zawahiri and his religious followers, including the US. He took over when Osama bin Laden was killed. Now we have this guy who wants desperately to attack the US again.
Ayman al-ZawahiriThen history would make a new turn, God willing, in the opposite direction against the empire of the United States and the world's Jewish government
That's the reason we went to AFG after 911 and the reason we had troops in Syria. You can't just leave al-Qaeda to spread in the ME or they end up here.
How long will we be there? Probably until al-Qaeda is put out of business which looks like a very long time given the recent turn of events in Syria.

What if they have bone spurs? Is Doc Brown working on a Mr. Fusion C-141?All these Fucking Chicken Hawks, from the left and the right, who think we need to leave a standing army in Syria, should go hop on the closest C-141 and go over there and start kicking doors.
Didn't work out well for the World Trade Center. Or is the post just satirical?Yep, we're sending Troops to Saudi for security purposes, and the Kingdom is footing the bill. That's a win right there, getting paid to help stabilize the region.
It’s worked pretty well for Asia. To be sure those nations don’t directly pay us to secure their region, but our access to affordable consumer goods made in Taiwan, S. Korea, Japan and even China is dependent on US Military presence. Without the DoD, those countries would be working to settle VERY old scores, to the detriment of their citizens and ours.

-a Ch'an Buddhist axiom.
So you think those countries would have attacked us and had the same motivational structure to do so as Osama's crew? China is so dependent on US military presence that they are building a military that can equal ours in the Pacific region and maintain an outer ring of area denying defenses?
Huh?
