Half of Fox's viewership is 68 or more and isn't replacing fast enough to stay viable. Fox is going to have to pivot hard to remain watched, scale down operations or close down altogether.

It's not like Fox pivoting to the center would even ball that unprecedented. When Otis Chandler took over the LA Times, it went from a mouthpiece of the republican party to being an actually good newspaper.

Perhaps the real solution isn't personalized autonomous transportation, but instead a system with dedicated lines capable of transporting large groups of people all at the same time with less fuel costs.

If only there was some way to transport a mass of people at once in vehicles with a high passenger capacity.

How long will it take to capture Baghdad? 2 days
Will Saddam be killed? Yes
Total Iraqi civillian casualties: 500 dead
Total military casualties Iraq: 3000 dead
Total military casualties U.S.: 15 dead
Will the Iraqi army regulars hold the lines? No
Will the Republican Guard fight to the end? No
Will chem/bio weapons be used on invading troops?: Yes
Will Saddam launch attacks on the Kurds? Yes
Will Saddam launch attacks on Israel? No
-If yes; will Isreal retaliate harshly? Yes
Will Saddam sacrifice Baghdad (gas/nuke it)? No
Will the Kurds make a grab for independence? Yes
Will Iran do anything silly like try for land? Yes
Will Saddam burn the oil fields? Yes
How long will the US be occupying Iraq? ~15 years
Will the Iraq war catalyze increased terrorism in America?No
In the long run, will this war be good or bad for the world? Good

Comments/Thoughts: The most difficult part will be holding Turkey and Iran back from the Kurdish territories after it's all said and done. I think most Iraqis will just surrender. Those that don't are most of the 3,000 dead. I expect hardcore troops to launch chemical attacks, but I expect them to have very limited effeciveness.

Edit- drat, I posted, then went back to read everyone else said- why are you all thinking this'll take weeks and weeks and weeks? Even if there's stiff opposition, the US will be in Baghdhad 24 hours after the first tank rolls into Iraq...

i mean yeah posts like that in the context of today show how spectacularly wrong those attitudes were in hindsight, and while that grover post is an extreme lowball, the rest of the thread is pretty typical of that attitudes of the time.

remember that we were still in the post-9/11 "america needs revenge" mentality, and the only real war in living memory was the first gulf war, which was very widely seen as a success and had cultivated an attitude of "america can do no wrong" on the right.

A pretty good (teeny tiny) presser there for Clinton, she handled it well and gave good responses. Plus, no emails questions! Turns out if you just treat the press like the whiny pissbabies they are, they'll stop throwing tantrums for long enough to ask slightly less hackneyed questions.

also stuck by her answers of "no troops on the ground in iraq and syria." which wasn't a surprise but it was nice to hear.

He's not wrong. We literally have missiles that shoot down missiles. He's an idiot who understands ONLY that point though - no concept of how it works or what it takes to make that happen or even what the implications are. That said, she sure as gently caress didn't have it in Reagan's time.

What Trump is talking about sounds like nuclear tipped strategic ABM, which we've never really had.

The ABM that we had in the gulf was was obviously conventionally tipped, and that was the PATRIOT system which, as Dr. Zeigler said wasn't as effective as it was hyped to be (GHWB claimed it had a 97% success rate, the Army later said it was closer to 70% in Saudi Arabia and 40% in Israel). And in OIF there were several cases of Patriot batteries shooting down or nearly shooting down US aircraft.

The older systems like Nike Zeus were poop from a butt in terms of effectiveness since they could only target a single missile, and the Soviets had moved on to MRV and later MIRV systems pretty quickly.

What up, fellow (anti-)BMD person?

A Good Post. If there was one thing I could communicate to all American voters...well, it would probably be that global warming is a thing, and we should probably get on with dealing with it. But a close second would be how much BMD is not an answer to the threat of nuclear proliferation and missile launches. The arms race with the Soviets was a very, very bad thing for international security. More ABMs = more nuclear weapons being built to get around those ABMs. More nuclear weapons = greater threat that those weapons and other nuclear technology will fall into the wrong hands.

i'm pretty sure there's more knowledge of BMD in this thread than there is in the entire trump campaign.

Romans isn't so much fiction as it is just one latecomer to the party's ramblings on his theology. The best part being that the book of James is basically telling him (Paul) off and making GBS threads all over his Salvation through Faith and Grace Alone doctrine. Even better given that it was James, the Brother of Jesus, writing it.

Also half of the NT books written by Paul probably were written by somebody else in Paul's name.

Also the line where he said "and women shouldn't speak up in church, but should wait till they get home and ask their husbands." doesn't appear in earlier manuscripts of that book, and where it does, it's been added in in somebody else.

True, though of course, it's not everything. Bill had net +19 approval going into the 2000 election and we all know how that turned out.

It didn't help that Gore tried to distance himself from Clinton as much as possible during the campaign on the assumption that the 8 years of manufactured Clinton scandals would hurt him if he was seen as Bill Clinton's third term.

Yup. In 2008 he was very] pro-Obama and would freak out at the slightest dip in poll numbers against McCain, which led to the term "Arzying" being coined.

Somehow by 2012 he had gone full in on Romney and would smugly act like Romney was 100% certain to win and ended up eating an 11 year probation.
