Russian Bounty on U.S. military in Afghanistan.

On the sofa?

Illogical. Does not compute.

I am lying right now.

It's still a lie to say a nonsensical statement with an intent to deceive.

Then I was telling the truth that I was lying.

[DivineOb]

Then I was telling the truth that I was lying.

Yes you were. You were intending to deceive with your nonsensical statement. Just like one can lie by giving an answer which is true in technicality but false in spirit. E.g., if I drink the world's largest beer then honestly answer that I've only had "one beer" that day I'd still be lying since I'd be intending to deceive with my true answer.

So was I trying to deceive you by telling the truth when I said I was lying? Or was I trying to deceive you by lying about lying, meaning I was telling the truth?

The next statement is true.

The previous statement is false.

[Sparko]

The previous statement is false.

Indeed.

Shocking that Trump is so desperate to change the conversation from these bounties that he even commute's Stone's sentence. Hmm...

Yes, that's EXACTLY why he did it.


Top Pentagon officials say Russian bounty program not corroborated

Defense Secretary Mark Esper and Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Thursday that the intelligence on the Russian bounty program had not been corroborated by intelligence agencies and that they do not believe any attacks in Afghanistan that resulted in American casualties can be directly tied to it. The U.S. is still looking into the program and Milley warned that if it proves to have been real the U.S. "will take action."

"All the defense intelligence agencies have been unable to corroborate that report," Esper told the House Armed Services Committee.

"As of today, right now, we don't have cause and effect linkages to a Russian bounty program causing U.S. Military casualties," Milley said. "However, we are still looking. We're not done. We're going to run this thing to ground."

Maybe they need to call the extreme leftist nutters on Tweb!

You can keep pretending that the issue is whether casualties resulted from the bounties but it won't make it so.

You keep using that false and idiotic phrase "keep pretending".

Here, lemme help you out.....

From my cite...

Did you notice that part that says "if it proves to have been real the U.S. "will take action"?
