No. I think the only way to defeat militant Islam is with a sustained, large, purposeful and powerful military involvement in that part of the world. Anything less than that is just punting the ball down the field and waiting for the next attack here and/or in Europe.
As for the notion that "they hate us because of oil and Israel" -- as I've noted previously, that theory is belied by the fact that France and Spain were the targets of the 2 biggest attacks since September 11.
Did not Spain ally itself with us during the invasion of Iraq? France isn't Switzerland either.
Not to be crass, but we've gotten off pretty easy after how many decades of our meddling (sorry) over there. What you're proposing will cost tens (hundreds?) of thousands of American lives and trillions of dollars, potentially bankrupting us the way the old Soviet Union was bankrupted. It will also be the greatest recruiting tool these terrorist organizations will ever have. And it will only increase the number of terrorist attacks here. I just the feeling if your way wins out, we'll be playing right into their hands. But, man, will a few people get really rich. Oligarchy anyone? I can only imagine the cigars that the fat cats lit up yesterday. It was a dream come true.

KP is running the Bills, she got duped by Rex.
TP is running the Sabres, nice upward trajectory thus far.
It's a family competition, who can win a championship first? Probably a $1 bet between them.
If I had to guess, I would say Terry's interest in playing fanboi owner with the Sabres has waned with time and his feeling that things are on the rise with Murray and Bylsma in place. He's mostly about the Bills now. I don't know about Kim, but they've both said in either venue she goes one way to the business offices and he goes to the GM side.

Hope tomorrows announcement helps the positive votes.
He's letting his kids take over both franchises?
I was wondering that too. It's about time, too. After reading on Timmy's life after hockey I can't be mad at him, just the people that gave him all that money.
Nope, Timmy lives in. I've always hated that too.

This is a critical point. I don't agree with your conclusion insofar as I don't think the only possible solution, which was and remains a long-term military commitment to fighting militant Islam at its source and on the ground, has been tested.
As I and others here have previously posted, although the correct solution was initiated, the American people tired of it and elected a president who promised, and delivered, a pullout that was at least 2 generations too early. This has led to predictably disastrous results.
The longer we wait, the worse it will get.
Are you arguing that the less military/political involvement we have in that region, the more we will be attacked? I take it if we finally achieved energy independence and totally pulled out of the region, and told Israel and Israel's enemies to have at it, enjoy roasting in Hell, we'd be devastated by terrorist attacks. Because... they hate us for our freedom?

Do we have a new default avatar? Timmah is gone?

The telegraph machine will be the death of us! And Tele Visions will eat our babies.

No. Because they were both Muslims, he was devout, he traveled to Saudi Arabia within the past year, there were multiple shooters and the police said that this was a planned operation. They also brought multiple bombs that, fortunately, didn't detonate.
Those are facts, not jumped-to conclusions.
How does being devout suggest that it was a terrorist attack? Devout does not equal extremist.
-
The definition of terrorism is important. You need more than "people were terrorized." By the definition, there are thousands of terrorist attacks every day in this country.
Terrorism attempts to achieve a political aim or make a political statement. It goes to motive. Pick a mass shooter from recent times who was a Christian (shouldn't be hard as white Americans commit one of these atrocities every couple of days, it seems). It doesn't make it a Christian terrorist attack.
Let the investigation unfold. Social media will probably hold the key. nfreeman is suggesting there was some coordination with elements in the Middle East.
There's also an issue of scale. If one extremist Muslim shoots a bunch of people in the name of Allah, is that a terrorist attack as much as 9/11 was? IMHO you really need the elements of planning, funding, coordination, a logical target etc. to make it a terrorist attack. The rest is the lone wolf syndrome.

Link?
Hmmm, I don't think so. Not unless you want to download the game from a site we're probably not allowed to link to here.

My reaction was "ew"
Maybe he's a germaphobe?

The ElBogo celebration... discuss.

No idea what would give you that impression.
:w00t: What am I looking at here?
-
Because, I'd rather have a ****ty hockey team in Buffalo, then a good team in Hamilton. So keeping the team trumps any other decision.
When was moving the teams ever an issue for Pegula? It's like giving Obama credit for not surrendering to Russia.
-
I don't see why the moving caveat has to be there. Now I have to grade him even lower.
There are many aspects of being an owner and so many ways to judge him.
As far as building a competitive team? Took way too long.
As far as making a better fan experience? Much better.
What's better about the fan experience?

Domestic. Terrorism.
Or the shooters were foreigners.
This one is different. Our homegrown mass shooters never leave the scene, on their own anyway. And they don't drive black SUVs. Or travel in groups.
-
Maybe I'm noticing something that's not unusual. Maybe I'm seeing things (after thinking I saw the Wing arm the puck into the net on that second goal).
But I'm pretty sure Eichel often gets called to the bench for a line change (or goes on his own, but usually it seems like he reacts like someone has shouted or whistled from the bench) even when his linemates are forechecking (and sometimes even on a shoot-in while his wingers keep going).
I thought I noticed that Eichel's shifts were cut short in that scrimmage in July. There was a story after the game that he was gassed from his busy schedule, so I figured that was it. Now I'm thinking maybe not.
I don't notice this kind of change with the other lines.
What's up here?
Have at it, hockey intelligentsia.

Why do I feel like Boris Rousson would eat you with fava beans after the game if you ever scored on him?

The panties my mother laid out...
-
She's very attractive.
And a second on the moist word, not sure why, but if used I get the evil eye.
So you tell her the brownies are dry, and where does that get you? Sack up, gents.
OMG she's a two face!
-
I can't help but think of Moulson and Gionta as two old bucks, their hides a little forlorn, their antlers all gnarly, trying to lead knock-kneed, awkward, gangly Eichel through the woods. And Rudolph is all, "Imma save Christmas and you ###### are gonna be tied to the front of cars by the end of the day." I can't help it, but I try. The meds are not working at all.
-
I feel like I'd be hypnotized if I was skating in towards those pads.
I'd be thinking, who's Briana?
Seriously though, is there any doubt it's not just a cool design but a design someone thinks will throw off a shooter? Should such designs be banned? How about the pads that, when put together, give the appearance of a five hole (black pads with white border, or vice versa)?
We may end up hating Garret Sparks down the road, but you can't help but feel great for the kid tonight:
I might get a little moist standing next to her. I like the glitzy, first star interviews some teams do. Unfortunately, a market that Ted Black described as "mature" would never stand for it.
-
haha. X. has to feel like the dude who was standing with Glenn on top of that dumpster, looking down into the sea of snarling walker faces.
Bylsma needs to handle OT like other teams are. A select group of players who have puck skills and speed rotating quickly. Line change wind sprints basically. O'Reilly, Kane, Eichel, Reinhart, and Girgensons are the names (and Ennis when healthy) with Risto and Pysyk/McCabe/Bogosian on D. Instead, we get Gionta, Gorges, and Franson.
You can't help yourself sometimes, can you? :lol:
I can. It's the super-cynical and suspicious I worry about.
-
Eichel hates the call too, that's why he's scoring less. I'll hang up and listen.
Longtime caller, first time listener...

I think Murray is learning it's better to play dumb in the media than to give real insight into what he's thinking.
So he doesn't believe what he said, but he thinks by saying the opposite it will help spur the real change he is after?
So your trying to say that if they increase ticket prices goal scoring will increase?
Exactly! Wait, wut... The two might be connected though. Even though GMTM is this young-ish, brash newcomer to the GM ranks who G 0 F, and Pegula is this new-ish, free-spending, outsider, fan boy owner, they both seem to have gotten the hint of how the business works. Increase revenues, hold down costs.
Things that are AWESOME...
