I think its less about people not realizing its a fake country and more about people hearing "its muslim sounding. better bomb it." When they clearly knew nothing about the country (or they'd know its fake).
Funny (political, religious) pictures
- Thread starter strawman
- Start date
It might also be that they can't remember the names of the cities involved and trust the interviewer not to mislead them. Their answer might mean: yes, let's enter the conflict that i think you are referencing in that area of the world.
Just imagine what he would have accomplished if he had been a late term abortion.
Oh, oh, I know the difference! One of them was elected president!
One of them got us involved in many foreign wars.
Someday, Karl. Someday.
Holy Poop that synced well!!
I don't know how she does what she does between her brain and her mouth, but Colbert's scripted attempt could not replicate it. Perhaps nothing can.
I'm sure it is Obama's fault

I know I am really late to the party on this one, but just wanted to correct a few things. Those are actually substantially different guns. The bottom one has a pistol grip, a collapsible stock, and a rail system along with a heat shield on the barrel. It also looks to be made primarily of plastic which would give it a much lighter weight, and the barrel itself looks different, not sure the purpse of that though. This gun would have a substantially reduced AP penalty of readying and firing it in Jagged Alliance, plus it could fit advanced optics. The heat shield is pretty much useless though, although may give an accuracy bonus when hip firing.
All guns should be analyzed in terms of Jagged Alliance.

Found this in my inbox:
Just what kind of government are you running Mr. Obama?

That may not be the whole story.
Context: Clinton won the Iowa democrat caucus by less than a percent. Six precincts had perfect ties and had to be decided by coin flip. All six coin flips, astonishingly, went to Clinton. Without those, she would have lost.
Helpful, but I can't help but somewhat agree with some of the *shudder* comments there. There's no sensible reason to do your caucuses in such a way, there's barely any accountability, and it just adds layers and layers of easily-manipulated numbers. I'm not saying it should be a straight-up across-the-state head count, but there are literally dozens of statistically useful, intelligent, fair ways of counting votes with changes based on who drops out and where the votes go and such. This isn't exactly one of them.
I'm not too inclined to call foul and say Hillary's campaign really cheated or manipulated things, but more because this one or two coin flips won't make a difference in the grand scheme of things than anything else. For anyone from the outside looking in, the links between Hillary's campaign and the Democratic party vs their dislike of Sanders, coupled with a whole bunch of these systems that are only checked and controlled by the Democratic party with no recourse and no way to verify, really don't make for a pretty picture.
