    If you can name one socialist country in Europe, you win $100. I suggest my money is quite safe.

    Hard, well impossible to have a socialist country when their economic model is capitalism. LOL If a country operates using capitalism, but they employ a Commons, suddenly it becomes a socialist hell. LOL Since we have always provided for the common defense, and did not use mercenaries to defend our nation, these right wingers have to say we have always been a socialist nation. Not to mention the police and firemen. So, the faux liberals are not the only ones who have problems with thinking rationally, with integrity of thought.

    Here is my evidence. How ironic, you accuse others of "Fake News".

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/06/12/AR2006061200843.html
    The Bush administration has concluded that Osama bin Laden was present during the battle for Tora Bora late last year and that failure to commit U.S. ground troops to hunt him was its gravest error in the war against al Qaeda, according to civilian and military officials with first-hand knowledge.

    No matter what happens a lot of people in the middle and to The Right of that would say getting elected and making sure the supreme court doesn't go to the far left is the biggest and only thing needed.

    We will see would be my only response

    Well, I updated you in that reports more local than the boys of DC state eyewitnesses tell us Bin Laden was killed by the Frank forces.

    Franks lacked our forces to search the heavily bombed out Tora Bora area. But read General Franks book for his first hand report.

    I don't know and I don't care - all I know and care about is this . . . "Who is paying the agreed-upon share to NATO — and who isn't. Only five of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's 28 member countries last year met the alliance goal of spending at least 2% of their gross domestic product on defense."

    It becomes a very cold, dark world when the only thing you use to measure value with is money.

    Wrong yet again. Before you even considered getting involved in the war, we had defeated the Luftwaffe over England in the Summer of 1940. Air supremacy was vital to Hitler's invasion plans; no air cover, no invasion, and Hitler shelved his invasion plan (Operation Sealion), indefinitely as a result and never tried again. Furthermore the US didn't establish the European Theater of Operations until 1942, by which time Hitler was being defeated by the USSR in the East, Operation Barbarossa (invasion of USSR) had failed and he was in retreat attempting to fight a war on two fronts, which was doomed to fail in any case. Sorry to have proved you wrong. Again.

    Ehm ... you know that that for the US righties is everything socialist what is not so far right to be called better Nazi?
    Socialist is for them one of the worst insulting words you can use... means to be a socialist is far more worse as any pedophile, raper, drug cartel member, illegal immigrant and Muslim. Shows the emptiness of the righties heads at least very well... ;-)

    They had a chance, as they had a chance to win the complete war too ... but they failed to wrong decisions, fortunately! Otherwise we would have these days no discussion about the BS wall of Trump to Mexico, but having media news about the German - Mexican border fightings!

    Fine. The answers are:

    1) 2024 is year upon which the NATO members agreed to reach the 2% goal.

    2) September 11, 2001 when the United States invoked Article 5.

    STARTING in 2024. FFS. This is not hard.

    NATO got its members together in 2006. They said, "Let's all spend 2% of our GDP on defense." Some of the members said, "Wait, that is too much money for us to shift around right now, can we have some time to slowly make that shift if needed?" And the NATO said, "Sure, let's set a goal of 2024." And then everyone said, "OK, sounds good."
