To the Queen, he might have.

A nod and a bow aren't the same. That's why I asked. When I was growing up, believe it or not, boys were taught to bow to their elders but it wasn't from the waist, it was more a deferential nod as the article stated. A more earnest gesture would have been sort of a shoulder tip. So if President Obama bowed from the waist to Queen Elizabeth or any other head of state then that would change the import of the incident in my eyes.

Really? Where were you raised?

Near Pittsburgh, PA. Girls curtsied and we were taught to speak the Queen's English. Different time, for sure.

That war mongering BO goes ahead and give his OK to kill, instead of talking to terrorists/pirates...

What a chump!

Richard, you know it didn't happen like that.

Of course.

He had no say in the matter. Cowboys rule!

And if he hadn't given the okay to shoot the pirates, and the captain was killed - what would you say then? No doubt something equally offensive.

FYI, the negotiations continued right along - weren't you personally informed about that?

Heavy is the hat that wears the crown.

BO Promised to sit down and talk to people , not shoot them while they are boating.


BO gave permission to the AFs to 'do the job' or 'whatever it takes'.

HE just green lights any mission and leaves the planning to the guys in charge.

Had the Captain been killed I would have gone ahead and plowed the beach front real estate these emm effers started from. Sorry to say this but they only understand violence, just as we would have been begging Barry to "Do Something" had the Captain been killed.

Enough of the "black hawk down' mentality.

We don't act soon or harshly enough to start the game.

In football you start the game by looking over at the other team, shossing a dance partner, then after the whistle, you go down and hit the idiot as hard as you can.

I can guarantee that he will be on the lookout for you during the rest of the game.

It's time we start playing 'firmly' and let people know that they don't want to mess with us.

Flip Flop?

So BO wanted to let the guys who 'tortured' confessions out of the terrorist detainees go.

But, he does a little side step a day later and wants the people who wrote the outlines to be on guard. They may be set upon by the government.

I saw a very telling piece on the info that BO released about theses torture sessions.

The guest said that there was page after page of details regarding the torture.
But when it came to detailing that some of the info gleaned helped deter the 'second wave' of attacks - one attack set for the city of El Lay- the government chose to black out THAT part of the papers?

I guess Big Brother-insert fist bump here-knows best.
