The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

You guys are just torn to pieces that president Biden has risen to the occasion.

President Biden provided unequivocal support to Israel, Israel's right to defend itself, and gave a forceful, unqualified condemnation of terror. Unlike presidents in the past, president Biden described the atrocities in detail.

President Biden had the vice president and the secretary of state standing behind him in a show of unity and strength. He sent a clear signal to Israel to pursue a ground operation in Gaza to rid Gaza of Hamas.

President Biden went on to tell the American people that he was allowing Israel to use U.S. military material that has been stored in underground warehouses in Israel to replenish their munitions: "I'm going to give you the munitions right now."

He gave a warning to Iran and Hezbollah that was unmistakable: "Don't you dare."

He reassured Americans that we would not put boots on the ground but did not rule out the use of our immense array of weaponry including the USS Ford, the aircraft carrier, and its 75 attack planes.

And he said he was willing to work with Congress to meet the needs of Israel.

Finally, he reminded Israel that we are nations of laws and, as such, do not commit war crimes.

Meanwhile, your Orange Idol was making a speech about himself, spending a few seconds on Israel by mispronouncing "Hamas," pronouncing it "Hummus."
