  1. More details here than the NYT.
  2. Dannen was the AD at Northen Iowa in 2008. Frost was the Co-defensive coordinator & linebackers coach. Strong Nebraska ties!
  3. As they typically say in the hearing, coalition forces, the funny thing is that used to mean NATO and Russia. NATO and Russia together pledged to punish the 9-11 terrorists. Russia got supplies from Poland to Afghanistan.
  4. Yes, Milley said 2500 of our best trained men, I believe he said Seals. They would have been supported by military contractors and, get this, NATO troops! They don't say permanently, only that some US troops would remain behind. @BigRedBuster, I agree, Trump was pretty clear on getting completely out. I don't think Trump would have taken the Joint Chiefs advice to leave behind a small force.
  5. I had the hearing on for a few hours yesterday. Pretty much a rerun of the Senate Arms Services hearing in Sept 2021, had that on at the time too. Milley and McKenzie spent most of the day telling how the White House and the State Dept time after time ignored their advice. Heck, Joe Biden couldn't remember his briefings (a well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory). Milley and McKenzie testified otherwise. Instead of honoring Trump's May 1st withdrawal date, Biden sent tthe military contractors home, abandoned Bagram Air Base, drew down the forces, and stayed months longer than agreed. The Republicans asked several times why Milley didn't do more. He goes straight up military, it's his job to advise the president, not to make or influence the president's decisions in public. He's had a change of mind on that stance, he suggested negotiations between Ukraine and Russia back in Nov 2022.
  6. Why are they attacking civilians?
  7. I did. It's based on a historic punch recipe by the same name that was popular during the 1860s. I like to think it was served when Abraham Lincoln came the the city's dedication.
  8. If genocide isn't answer, would you consider ethnic cleansing? Every Muslim country has done this to their Jews.
  9. I agree with you but Biden doesn't. Biden explicitly said no boots.
  10. Yeah, let me clarify. Biden's only secret goal is to get elected. He's losing Muslim voters here in Michigan. He has problems in Minnesota and Georgia too. I doubt Biden does this if it were 8 months after the election rather than 8 months before. He wants to be seen as helping the Palestinians. The Muslim terrorist groups from Lebanon to Egypt have 10,000s of rockets and drones. They've hit targets over a 100 miles away, Gaza is 25 miles long. Look at the Hezbollah drone attack on our base in Jordan, 3 servicemen killed and 80 injured. I believe the pier will become a honeypot for all these terrorist groups. The Iron Dome protects Israel, not the Mediterranean Sea. Is our military going to shoot down rockets over Gaza? Or Lebanon? Or Syria? I just don't see how this doesn't become a quagmire.
  11. Foggy Bottom's handlers threw the press out immediately after he said he liked Schumer's speech. And happy birthday Andrew Jackson, father of the Democratic Party.
  12. The Moscow Times: What Do We Know About Russia’s Presidential Candidates? Leonid Slutsky is polling a distant 3rd. As his name suggests, he's the “Russian Harvey Weinstein.”
  13. It's the 12,000 Palestinian/Hamas rockets that concern me most.
  14. Here's a good overview of how Biden's beachhead is going to be built. I don't believe Biden's promise of no boots on the ground. This is going to be a beachhead. There are going to be casualties. I don't see how this doesn't turn into a war zone.
  15. F that guy, he was cancer. We were looking for an AD when we hired him. Next man up! Now that I have that off my chest I can finish this fifth of whisky.
  16. Got through, no information.
  17. I don't know how much of a tell this is but the athletic dept isn't answering the phone, goes to vm.
  18. I wonder what the buy out is on the 8 year contract he signed in Nov is.
  19. I've got some bridges for sale
  20. We've never had a series with Tennessee, just 3 bowl games.
  21. Row 14! Fun game, Tominaga dropping 30 was awesome! Quite few Huskers there. Howard didn't slap anyone, not even after Williams nearly killing one of his players.
