I can see it now, the next debate: Foreign policy, how best to spell Al Qaeda in English.


Damn straight! It's the most important issue of the whole election.

@Leon Said

Are you a Republican, TPT?


I am a conservitarian Republican supporter, and for all intents and purposes, in this election with titanic stakes, I am a Republican.

You are a liberal who supports the Democrats on most issues as well as Obama, the second worst President in our history.


@jonnythan Said

Well it doesn't really have an English spelling. It's just a phonetic interpretation of Arabic.


What he said. Al Qaida is another alternate spelling. I prefer Al Buttface but then I have to explain it alla time.


@chaski Said

You have presented this idea before, but have apparently failed to research it.

While the investigation continues and therefore there is not yet a final answer, the information available actually tends to refute your statement.

Actually it appears that many Libyans attempted to save Ambassador Stevens and took him to a hospital.


Yes, the Bengazi US consulate was indeed overrun. I was thinking of the Embassy in Cairo. There was a mostly one way fire fight but I've seen nothing about an extended 4 hour one. The force was overwhelming. So far, nobody knows how the Ambassador's body got to the hospital, but there are pictures of him either dead or dying being dragged before his body arrived there.

Quote:
In one of your postings you also stated that the consulate was over run without a shot fired.


That was the Cairo Embassy.

Quote:
In addition, in one thread on this topic, you seemed to be suggesting the the USA attack Libya.


We should, and have the international right, to defend/retake the US soil that the consulate represents.

I wish I could say that I remember you as always being right, but I can't. Arrogant, however, pretty much.

While your're fact checking, why don't you read Crowly's adjusted take on the exchange on the Libya question during the debate (where she gave Obama 5 minutes more than Romney and interrupted him almost twice as often). She admitted that "Romney was indeed correct in casting blame on the Obama Administration (read Obama) for falsely blaming an anti-Islamic video for attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi".

Of course she said that on CNN so hardly anybody saw it.



About as out of context as it gets.

Which isn't "qui". Qui is pronounced as it is in words like quiz or quill.


What, Big Bird didn't pan out so you trotted out this red herring? Is it a sign of disrespect? I can only hope.

Okay. Lets put a percentage here. Say we have a voter who agrees on some things from the Democtratic platform and disagrees with other things in the Democratic platform, as well as agreeing/disagreeing with things from the Republican platform. At what percentage do the things he/she agrees with from one side does that person to be defined as a Democrat or Republican, as opposed to being an independent? 55? 60? 70? 80? 90? 100?

Perhaps you should have paid more attention to phonics in school eh? No wonder you aren't a fan of Big Bird.
