How many times do you have to be bitten on the hand by a rabid dog before you realise you can't pet it? This turd is a complete idiot and has to go.

Nothing wrong with reaching out to them, as long as you're fully prepared to (a) get pretty much nothing in return, and (b) don't plan on giving up anything important in the process yourself.  As long as you go into it with those two essential conditions in mind, no harm done.

I said in another thread, in BN . . . if you "reach out and touch someone" with a .50 BMG round, I'm all for it.

Actually I was talking about the art of diplomacy, not the direct application of force to stubborn and annoying problems (Which is not to be discounted, but it's usually much too expensive a choice for a first option).

Diplomacy, when very well-done is the art of getting something for nothing, but when at least competently-done means not giving up anything important, while keeping one's own options wide open.  Sadly, the Kenyan-American's Adminstration, with Helpful Hillary running the State Department, seems to be falling far, far below the standard of simple competence here.

I would say that Lord Zero has been outmatched in every case with our adversaries. He seems to be the one giving up something and getting nothing in return.

From the teachings of MOO-hommed.

Deception is a part of war.

Lying to an infidel to protect oneself or to further the cause of Islam is acceptable.

No treaty with the infidels should last longing than 7 years or no longer than it takes the Muslims to regain the strength to attack again.

Don't trust the Muslim bastards no farther than you can shoot'em.
