Still better than a Russian plan. Flamethrowers?! That sounds like something I want to use for a hostage situation.

That would've worked way better if they'd bothered to turn everyone on their side so that they didn't choke to death on their own puke. Hundreds of Russians dressed in their finest went the same way as Hendrix.

seriously though...that was a hell of a lot of gunfire.

why is no one discussing how unnecessary it was for the entire French SWAT team to empty their entire clips?

Running at them with an automatic weapon is scary, theres no hitmarkers in your hud, and you dont go ragdoll like in videogames when you lose too much HP.

At one of the two locations the phone was off the hook so they could hear him start to loudly pray which is what they do when they're about to start some hostage shooting if the hundreds of videos these people have posted in the last few years is any indication. Or he could have seen they got his buddy on the tv in there so his demands were unmet I dunno.

I only care about it because he was director of the loving CIA when it was going on and stuff like infidelity that opens you to blackmail is kind of a big deal when you occupy a job like that.

That said I care a lot more about the fact that he was director of the loving CIA and thought it was totally cool to release classified info to someone without the appropriate accesses and without a need to know.

But lol if you think someone like Petraeus is going down for something like this, DOJ is way too busy prosecuting whistleblowers anyway to deal with the guy whose sole motive for releasing classified was profit.

Yeah, that's a good point. I kind of figure most guys like that cheat routinely though. But yeah, guys like that probably don't usually lead the CIA

Petreus's appointment to the CIA was nothing more than politics. It was an olive branch to the military after McChrystal, and to the Congressional hawks to show that they still supported the Bush Doctrine. Everyone probably knew about his dalliances, and it was only after the 2012 election that he was asked to resign.

It's more that sometimes, we just need to tell "reporters" to shut the loving hell up because they are lousy pieces of poo poo. And if they don't, we should shout louder. No, I don't think any of the Charlie Hebdo people deserved death. But I am pretty sure a whole bunch of them deserved a swift kick in the groin.

There's a slight difference from the candidate and their supporters... If you look hard enough (or casually) most supporters of any candidate are pretty "uuuggggghhhhh". The trick is finding the candidate who's more meh or yeah okay that's not so bat poo poo crazy of a platform.

Could be worse, had a guy in japan run for Diet on the platform that he was literally the Messiah, and the Nazis were right, he claimed his opponent was also at personally at fault for everything that is wrong with Japan since his birth. I could see a candidate in the States running on the platform that his opponent is everything that is wrong with America, and perhaps even maybe Hitler wasn't an entirely bad guy, but I don't see anyone getting a seat in Congress on the claim of them being the Messiah.

Didn't Obama come out and say that he was just holding to Bush's timeline for withdrawal when he was getting hammered for ISIS appearing in the vacuum? I seem to recall that. It's factually true, but unfortunately he had already claimed the withdrawal as his own.

I've seen that video a dozen times over the years and I'll never stop cringing at the part where they climb out of their foxholes and start walking into an irradiated blast zone.

In other news, George Zimmerman managed to get arrested again. This time he chucked a wine bottle at his girlfriend during a drunken domestic.
