I'm pretty sure you're mistaken then. Removing the Taliban was always a part of the plan. The Taliban were harboring terrorists (remember that term?) so we were attacking them (back).

The last time a vehicle was touted by a manufacture as the safest, the word used was unsinkable and that was a titanic mistake.
I think you may have forgotten (or never heard about) the Bricklin SV-1. A big mistake, for sure -- but never touted as unsinkable.
They won't get anywhere with this, except making a clone of JL that will obviously fail to live up to what he will be told he should be. So he will be miserable.
If he's miserable, then he'd probably make a pretty good singer-songwriter. Success! Oh, wait.
If by "mainstream media", you mean the "liberal lamestream media" and the "right wingnut media" -- then yes -- they control both of those.
Respect is earned, and is a 2-way street.
If the company doesn't have the respect to give you 2 weeks' notice, then you should provide them the same amount of respect.
Do you actually have a legitimate news organization reporting on the waivers granted to unions? Because that Heartland site isn't worth the paper that it's (not) printed on, as a reliable source.
At least I have control over my elected officials. I have no control over the people running my insurance company.
The whole idea of profiting from denying healthcare is abhorrent. The government-run programs at least remove most of that.
But of course, this is just a red herring -- ObamaCare doesn't actually remove this function (or profits, except for profits over 20%) from the insurance companies.
George W Bush: started 2 wars on false pretenses
While I agree that W and Cheney are war criminals (failing to treat POWs as required by the Geneva Conventions), I'm failing to come up with a 2nd war started on false pretenses. Iraq is obvious. But the other major war -- Afghanistan -- was in retaliation for harboring the 9/11 terrorists. I have no problem with having gone into that war. I actually had a problem with the war in Iraq getting in the way of eradicating the terrorists in Afghanistan. (Both of which lead the creation of more terrorists than we eliminated.)
Can you please explain the 2nd war started on false pretenses?
Generally speaking, the NHS is fantastic when anything life-threatening happens, but after care can be crap
That's pretty much the situation in the private healthcare market in the USA as well. Doctors are good at immediate needs, but not so good at managing longer-term health issues. They typically just put you on medications for anything long term.
I'd bet they are good +/- 50% of the figures he is quoting. He did a pretty good job of coming up with a price on the Falcon 1/5 as well as the Tesla Roadster back when people like you were saying he was a nut case that didn't have a clue what he was doing with those vehicles.
The Tesla Roadster was supposed to cost $80k, but ended up at about $110k. So about a 40% cost overrun on that.
I suspect that they'd outlaw trains in this country before outlawing guns.
If only there was some kind of map that would show where highways go.
BART
Uh, the San Mateo bridge is a direct link to the East Bay. Maybe out of the way for many, but still useful for a lot of folks. The Dumbarton bridge is also a direct link, but even less useful for most.
Nice one! Took me a second to realize that you were referring to the comment about the state with the most earthquakes.
Why would PBS write an app? Not trying to be snarky, I just have no idea why a producer of TV programming would make one. Is it for showing TV schedules?
It's an app. You've got to write apps.
It's a bypass. You've got to build bypasses!
