Trump Says He'll Teach Military Expert 'a Couple of Things' About Mosul

Nice clip.... Did I actually hear trumpf say he can barge into their dressing rooms cause he is the owner??? Has he ever denied doing that?? I mean this week??

This creepy pig and his droit du seigneur...

"Dixon went on to say that employees of the Miss Universe Organization encouraged the contestants to lavish Trump with attention when he came in. "To have the owner come waltzing in, when we're naked, or half-naked, in a very physically vulnerable position and then to have the pressure of the people that worked for him telling us to go fawn all over him, go walk up to him, talk to him, get his attention..."

The Trump campaign did not offer a response to either story, but in a 2005 appearance on Howard Stern's show, Trump bragged about doing exactly what the women describe. "I'll go backstage before a show, and everyone's getting dressed and ready and everything else," he said.

His position as the pageant's owner entitled him to that kind of access, Trump explained, seemingly aware that what he was doing made the women uncomfortable. "You know, no men are anywhere. And I'm allowed to go in because I'm the owner of the pageant. And therefore I'm inspecting it... Is everyone OK? You know, they're standing there with no clothes. And you see these incredible-looking women. And so I sort of get away with things like that," he said."
 
The man w/ 45 years experience isn't the king, his job is to do the best he can w/ the bull shit the politicians want done, & in the way they want it.........:dunno:

wherever the error is the man with 45 years experience has failed and our politicians with 30 years experience has failed. You realize we won ww2 in 5 years and in 10 years were pretty much still in square 1 with this shit yes?

You may be fine living the rest of your live with this I am not.

When we invaded Iraq in 2003, did you support the decision?
 
He'll also teach musicians a couple of things about music, writers a couple of things about writing, geologists a couple of things about geology, scientists in general a couple of things about science and, doubtless, have them sent to Alaska if they don't learn. Stalin was very similar.

IMO stalin is the main reason you are not speaking german not the US.

Show me where he failed so we have something to discuss......... HE, NOR ANYONE IN OUR MILITARY MAKE POLICY........... As I said, he can only do the best he can w/ the mess the politicians hand him........... I totally agree we have a mess.......... I believed then, as I do now, that going into Afghani-NAM was a huge ass blundering stumble into the graveyard of empires........

Attacking Iraq, a country that did not attack us or pose a threat to us was merely doubling down on stupid..........

I am not "fine w/ it" & neither are you, but yea, we will both live w/ it, we have no choice/say........
 
??What does overall policy consist of??

All of us armchair generals can agree/disagree, but if I was to bet I would put money on the man w/ 45 years experience as opposed to the man w/ ZERO EXPERIENCE.. just sayin!!

I was responding to CHRISTIE's post about the 2007 surge -not the offensive on Mosul (ISIS). pay attention please.

I further (rightfully) criticized the lot of them on Iraq - Obama/Clinton/Trump -add Bush in there then.

Do you realize that it does not matter right now wheter the general or the politician is in fault? The fact is we are 10 years into something that we are no closer to solving. Has he been successful? If not then why is he not telling the media or his commanders why we are not? Your defeatist attitude is precisely why we are here. We allow our ruling class to walk all over us and mindlessly follow some new controversy. Yes we have a choice. We can choose something else :)

Did you support the invasion in 2003?
 
The US is in a limited role -thnks to those great liberators the Iranian Qods,and Baghdad Shi'a militias who are there to help us out
^ *sarcasm*

we completely screwed up Iran in the Bush war, and the Obama withdrawl,and aftermath. Plus Iraq screwed itself
up with the purging of Sunni officer corps by Maliki.

Iran is colonizing at least parts of Iraq, and making sure the rest of Iraq is disjointed/federated. Much like Putin is doing in the Ukraine.
Events are beyond our control -really we have little influene except to join the Iranian coalition.

Events are gonna happen,and we are along for the ride only.

Bull shit!!!

WTF is policy?? What does it consist of??-> "the surge isn't tactics.or even a strategic operation. It's overall policy"

You blamed the general, now it don't matter.....:rolleyes:

We agree, we are no closer...... You called out the general, now I am calling you on your bull shit.... Back up your take on him or just STFU about it...........

You can blame my attitude for whatever you like, you obviously don't know wtf you're talking anyway..........

SO when you have something on the general, get back to me........

Well, certainly the defence of Stalingrad had that effect, and we were properly grateful to the heroes who died there, but I think that without Stalin's silly behaviour in the 'thirties Hitler would never have dared attack Poland and start the War - though certainly Chamberlain and may other politicians helped. Our own CP candidate, Harry Pollitt, who nearly won Rhondda East in 1945, quietly dropped out at the time of the Hitler-Stalin Pact, and only came back when the USSR had to start fighting, and that was the general view here.
 
Bull shit!!!

jesus christ Bill.
POLICY= overall handling of an affair. Troop levels, alliances, shaping of things on the ground -ultimate goals
STRATEGY= what type of forces, where are they displayed, long term ( but not ultimate) goals, implementation of goals, logistics
TACTICS= military battle plans- battle timelines, logistics ( they overlap) day today battle adjustments

^ not hard and fast, they can shift a bit,but that the outline of situation awareness and implementation.
 
He'll also teach musicians a couple of things about music, writers a couple of things about writing, geologists a couple of things about geology, scientists in general a couple of things about science and, doubtless, have them sent to Alaska if they don't learn. Stalin was very similar.

I'm sure you're much more versed on the details of Stalin than most of us, taffy.
