HONOLULU - A US Navy cruiser based in Pearl Harbor fired a missile last night that struck a crippled spy satellite roughly 150 miles above the earth, in an attempt to prevent the out-of-control spacecraft from dumping hazardous fuel on a population center, the Pentagon said. . . ."

What the fuck does this have to do with Clinton?

McHale's Navy?!

Nice shot.

Nic Shot Indeed. Bill was always good at hitting the target with his missle.

Tim Conway was the real star of that show, he made it work!

After all Clintons cutbacks, its a wonder the nave still ahd any cruisers.
Bting back the Mighty Mo!

Are you typing with your toes?

"What the fuck does this have to do with Clinton?"

Ask Donald Rumsfeld.

The Lake erie was commissioned in 1991, which means she was built and commissioned on President Bush the 1st's watch.

This is awesome that that they successfully shot it down.

Amongst other things it demonstrates to the world what our defense systems are capable of.

Here's a video of the shoot down.

It only took 24 min. from missile launch to impact.

They said in one report I read that the combined impact speed was 22,000 mph. Impressive!

Nwokie, I think the proper way to state this: After all Clintons cutbacks, its a wonder the nave still ahd any cruisers. is: IN SPITE of all of Clinton's cutbacks......

Way to go Navy!

Anchors aweigh. Mission accomplished!

"They said in one report I read that the combined impact speed was 22,000 mph. Impressive!"

Satellite's in orbit must maintain a pretty high speed. The rocket was going about 5000 mph.

1 kilometer / second = 2 236.93629 mph

Donald Rumsfeld in 2004: "you go to war with the Army you have, not the Army you want."

So basically I hear that the Military hated Clinton.

Ok, now I understand.

Yet, Clinton built an army that could liberate Kosovo, rid Afganistan of the Taliban, dispose Saddam Hussian and hit a bullseye on a moving target in space.

Now the Army Bush is leaving for the next President leaves a lot to be desired.

Hey if you prefer delusion over denial then more power to you.

I think the EXTREME RIGHT loves both.

The main reason clinton was detested by the military, was in his first campaign, he made a statement, that said basicaly, anyone that voluntered to serve in Vietnam was an idiot. Nearly all the senior officers in the military and NCO's, volunteered to serve in Vietnam.

Approx 1/3 of all Vietnam vets were volunteers.

Anyone that voluntered to serve in Vietnam was an idiot.

I want to see the speech with those EXACT words in it.... Unless you produce that YOUR post is another one of your fabrications of the truth.

Anyone that voluntered to serve in Vietnam was an idiot.

Nice support for the men and women who defend ALL of OUR freedoms.

Edit Add: Trixter, Sorry man. After a re-read of your post I realized that you were just repeating the statement from the original post and not stating your view of Vietnam Vets.

My apologies for misinterpreting it.

Put up the source for that Oak.

I have to find it, and I said it was something like that. I have some time later today, and will look it up.

Man, if your gonna drop a bomb like that your better off to post a reference to it cause your gonna get called to the carpet on it.

Its pretty common knowledge, it was debated in both of his elections.

Yet another idiotic statement by the resident tool. I look forward to the proof of your statement. I'll be waiting with bated breath...

Lie.

Anytime Nwokie uses the word " Basically " that is code for " I remember something happened, I recall no details, but since I have thought about it so much, I have filled in all the blanks ( of which there are many ) with what feels like the truth. Even though I'm wrong almost every single time, I obviously have some kind of condition that prevents me from learning from any previous lessons that I have either brought on myself or have been shown to me directly."

It's a long code, I know. But how he can cite " common knowledge " along with gaping holes in his ability to prove anything ( and when he does, it'll be VERY far from how he paraphrased Clinton ) really deserves to be called out for utter bullshit.

He's flat out lying.

That's ok though. The one good thing about the way he does things around here is how, when shown how wrong he is, he pretends not to see anything further on the thread...until the subject shifts. Then he's back, hoping you all forgot about that previous unpleasantness.

It's Tom Hanks' Mr. Short-Term Memory guy from SNL.

Nwokie, you should try and work on those things. They are messing things up too much. Please stop it.

IMHO, that's fairly accurate. Resonates with my perception also.

Me three. Why not bring some meat Okie? We all dig for the goods and take our lumps when we are wrong. I think that your alleged quote is a slanderous and unsubstantiated claim without merit. Prove it, or find a topic where you can add something to the discussion.

Ok, I can't prove it. How about Clintons statement that he "Loathed the military". that I can prove, that was in his letter to the Col that enlisteded him in the ROTC, which he then failed to show up for.

LMAO!

OK. Have at it.

It'll be good exercise; Prove it.

I have seen that one as well.

"I am writing too in the hope that my telling this one story will help you to understand more clearly how so many fine people have come to find themselves still loving their country but loathing the military, to which you and other good men have devoted years, lifetimes, of the best service you could give. To many of us, it is no longer clear what is service and what is disservice, or if it is clear, the conclusion is likely to be illegal."

Yep. There it is.

To be honest, I can't figure out what we are talking about. But you are right, there it is.

It is what it is.

Yep.

No argument against that.
