Hillary Clinton, 1/31/13 Clearly some people from his own party thought Obama had a window to do some good in this matter and think he passed on it for political reasons.

My question isn't designed as a set-up, I'm actually curious as to when the last time a group of Christians proclaimed that they were going to war or killing a number of people in the name of their religion. The Iraq War doesn't qualify under the parameters of the question I'm asking. Clearly we as a country did not agree in any legal or organized sense that we were invading Iraq for Christ or as Christians. Whatever your feelings on the war, it was at least proclaimed/advertised/sold as a war to stop WMD and Saddam, etc.

The idea was to vet the rebel groups and train fighters, who would be supplied with weapons. The plan had risks, but it also offered the potential reward of creating Syrian allies with whom the United States could work, both during the conflict and after President Bashar al-Assad’s eventual removal. Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Petraeus presented the proposal to the White House, according to administration officials. But with the White House worried about the risks, and with President Obama in the midst of a re-election bid, they were rebuffed interesting.

"(not under some kind of pretext)"

Point of curiosity for the history proficient: when is the last time a government or significant entity (i.e. not a whacko splinter group bombing an abortion clinic) killed a number of persons overtly (not under some kind of pretext) in the name of Christianity?

What's FWI?

It offers the perspective of one member of the board, which the rest of the board is free to disagree with or comment upon, but does not have the effect of setting in motion the four horsemen of the apocalypse.

Those who are not members of this board cannot imagine how mentally and emotionally exhausting this is, aside from all the posting.

if you put that on a bumper sticker, I'm buying.

I'm not what I used to be.

Why do you hate teachers?

It's called sarcasm

Board is raised, which certainly helps. Only 2 give any problems stomping on/off--problem meaning I might mess the dials on the pedal below. Will always be a work in progress

Yeah, but you had to parallel park to get that driver's license. Powned.

I've never understood why the 2nd amendment is such a popular gun-rights argument. We've changed a lot of things in the constitution. Has anyone seen a gun control proposal that might actually curb criminal gun use? I'd be interested to read it.

the states pretty much lost all their exclusive enforcement rights when the Supreme Court decided the interstate commerce clause meant something it does not mean.

if you'd like better discourse on this board, you might want to stop with this sort of thing.

what's the worst thing that could happen if people who aren't citizens voted in our elections? it's time someone did.

I liked the last Star Trek movie. Very disappointed by The Way Way Back. There haven't been many movies in the theater this year that have seemed all that interesting. I saw some of The Canyons online.

It was a catchy line. Clinton always nails public speaking. We haven't had a good speech-giver since.
