I certainly hope that is the case. We need responsible officers that are unwilling to let our leaders

I certainly hope that is the case. We need responsible officers that are unwilling to let our leaders

get away with dragging us closer to war.

UPDATE: The Military Times newspapers, who originally broke the story leaked by unnamed military

officers, reports that the squadron commander has been relieved of duty following investigation. The

papers also reported that there were six, rather than five, nuclear weapons that were transported

across the country.

Several years ago I watched a Canadian PM debate on TV. It bore no resemblance to an mbt shoesn

Presidential “debate.” Two guys, a few feet from each other, actually debating — no moderator, no

buzzers, just two guys arguing, vigorously. I remember a movie featuring the Lincoln-Douglas debates.

Although I don’t know if it was historically accurate, a similar sight, two guys arguing about real

issues with no real rules. I have seen similar clips in other countries, but rarely in the UGG.

The mbt shoesn version of Presidential debates resembles a game show or beauty pageant, where each

contestant is called on to answer for a set two-minute response. Rarely any follow-up, and rarely any

effort to actually confront real issues.
