On paper, they're supposed to be, yeah.

I know it's bullshit in truth, but it's what the leaders try to tell us.

I don't exactly know why. Strategy, I guess. Honestly, legitimate forces in Pakistan always seemed to be in between a rock and a hard place, with Taliban bombing government offices and committing massacres, and Americans droning the shit out of civilians.

It may be what they say publicly, but even they know it isn't true. There's a reason the US sent in their special forces to get the SOB without giving Pakistan a heads up. If they had, OBL wouldn't have been there when SEAL Team 6 arrived, he would have been ferreted off to the next safe house well before then.

I'm still not sure what Osama has to do with the Olympics in Sochi though.

What? Are they gonna scoop him up from the fishies and fling what's left down the bobsled run, or something?

Actually I hear the slopestyle course is where the problems are. There's already been 3 injuries just practicing. Shaun White has pulled out rather than risk that cheap commie deathtrap. Fling some Osama bones down there maybe. See what the problem is.

Commie??? I think Putin and co. are even further to the right on the political spectrum than Paddy Buchanan is

There seems to be different opinions on the subject.

Is Vladimir Putin a Communist?

So me, in my opinion I'm using what I consider to be the North American version of "Right" on the political spectrum where it describes decentralized government as much as possible, and personal freedom as opposed to centralized, statist control as much as possible, so yeah, in my world Putin's still a Commie. He's no part of right wing. Not my right wing anyway.

My right wing put the hoorahs, huzzahs, smiles and chuckles, everybody still raves - Vancouver Olympics together. Whatever Putin's wing is put the yellow water, roofless hotel room, two toilets in a stall, feral dogs in the lobby, Olympics together.

If anything he's an extreme nationalist more than anything else.

You mean like a national socialist, or something, maybe. Gee that sounds familiar. Where have I heard that term before?

I was expecting some annoying blog and all i got was a Yahoo answers query? Jesus dude.

My point was there are varying opinions on whether or not Putin is a Communist. Are you saying those are not varying opinions? I take it your point is you don't like those particular varying opinions. Very well, point taken, but so what? I stand by my point. There are varying opinions.

Also, "North American version of the spectrum" is no such thing, don't be disingenuous.

Here ya go. Do yourself a favor, catch up.

So wait a sec here. You're reaming on the fact he's a "commie" while equating him with right-wing fascism?
I'm confused
