Mulcair raises a valid point. I thought we were there for training? Not for combat. Which is it Mr. Trudeau?

We may not have a battle battalion on active operations but it would be naive to think that we don't have special operations operating.

All these dastardly people who's sole purpose is to "terrorize" us because we're predominantly Christian.


So when these same dastardly people sole purpose is to terrorize Israel because there are some Jews living there that they don't want to see living there, where is your outrage?

For once, you raise a point that I can't argue with, or even more usually laugh at whole-heartedly. I was told by the uber-sanctimonious SJW gang here that Justin was going to pull us out of Iraq. They even celebrated with hearty guffaws of joy and shrieked "Canada's back!!!" when he apparently called Barry O. to tell him we were pulling our aging crates out of the Iraq air war. All was quiet until now, when I see our boys are in Iraq, kicking Islamic fundamentalist *bleep*. And good for them. But where's the out-cry of anguish from the sanctimonious SJW gang? Don't they feel betrayed by this?

Amazing shot....first try or did he have a few tries I wonder.

I would think, one and done, there is usually no second chance.

Good question though about the heat waves and distortion along with the windage and elevation.

Honestly, you can't be serious?
You really think that's why?

For someone who appears to be "up" on politics, you're retort is woefully inadequate.

Even though in 1947 when the allies gave Israel to the "Israelis", despite fore going other deals, your post has nothing to do with this topic. However, it does somewhat speak to what's going on in the larger sense.

And straight up. My outrage is at the Israeli. Feel free to ask me why.

Of course it is. Why am I not surprised that you are on the side of the lunatic Islamic fundamentalists when it suits your leftist purposes. The hypocrisy is just disgusting.

The thing is at these distances, perhaps the round has gone subsonic so no noise is heard when the bullet strikes say dirt above or below target. All one would see is a puff of dirt if a miss and perhaps a bit of impact noise but no recoil from the rifle.

perhaps not for everybody but gives some insight from a Canadian regarding previous long shot.

One quote out of context. Nothing touched of multiple posts. Isn't that what you say about leftists?

And how you draw conclusions while putting words in my mouth..
Quite the spin. I must say
