Why you little upstart - There will be a change all right.

In his interview with CBS News, Obama says:
Logan: Because you do have a situation seven years on into this war where Osama bin Laden and all his lieutenants and all the leaders of the Taliban, they’re still there. And they’re inside Pakistan.
Obama: Right. It’s a huge problem. And first of all, if we hadn’t taken our eye off the ball, we might have caught them before they got into Pakistan and were able to reconstitute themselves. Several times in recent interviews, Obama has referred to "taken our eye off the ball" in terms of the invasion of Iraq, which began in March of 2003. We don't know precisely when Osama bin Laden entered Pakistan, but it is generally believed that he escaped Tora Bora and crossed the border sometime in late November or the beginning of December 2001.
(Somehow the U.S. took its collective eyes off the ball to prevent an event that occurred in December 2001 by sending troops to another country starting in March 2002 for an invasion that began in 2003.
It's not as if the geopolitical challenges of sending U.S. troops into Pakistan suddenly appeared in March 2003. Once Osama crossed the border, the potential cost of pursuing him —i.e., a civil war in a country with nuclear weapons — became higher and the consequences became riskier.
Also note that CBS' Lara Logan forces Obama to concede that his oft-touted call to kill Osama bin Laden in Pakistani territory is actually current U.S. policy. )

I love your sense of humor. Seems to be rare these days.
I swear, NO ONE COULD MAKE THIS STUFF UP. WHO in their wildest dreams, four short years ago would have believed ANYONE could come across with more condescension than Kerry?
Didn’t we think he was pretty much the pinnacle?
Hah! Never say never:)
No matter how bad things are, they can always get worse.
You think Odumbo is bad, believe me, it gets worse down the line.
So this really is about as good as the Dems can do?
I have a long history of being among the 10% that didn’t get the word.
In a word, Obama is a featherweight.
Also, if you spell check, he’s a misspelled word.
Why you little upstart - There will be a change all right.

There has to be a breaking point.

I am trying to imagine how the upper echelons of the rat party are sleeping about now. They are not totally stupid, they just think the voters are idiots and they have to be wondering just how much of this clown they can stand before they have to correct their mistake.
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
You forgot jug-eared.
Those in Chicago who have had to listen to this pompus blowhard says he really starts wearing on you.

I already find him more irritating than John Kerry and I thought that was impossible.
Iron Munro that is a funny pic. It is troubling to me that we have someone up for election that can’t even remember a simple time line. It seems to me that there are a lot of peopel out there that have forgotten the reasons we have gone to war in the first place. I don’t particularly like war, but it is a neccessary evil. There is no doubt in my mind that fanatics would not hesitate to keep bombing our citizens if we stop being alert to the problem of terrorism. A vote for Obama is a vote for going soft on terrorists. Seriously, libs seem to think you can hug them and sing Kum By Yah and we will all be friends.
Saddam and sons were terrorists PERIOD...there WAS a wmd program in place (yellow cake just recently removed from Iraq), he broke the cease fire agreements from the first gulf war: no fly zones constantly being patrolled and if we lose this war as the hypocrats are desperate to lose from day 1, terrorists will only be MORE emboldened to attack us again, and probably will succeed in another 9-11.
Hypocrats: the party of the mentally disturbed.
O Lord Insufferable Obi From Nairobi, who did you say dropped the ball?
Clinton declined repeated offers of bin Laden by Sudan, then missed this 2000 opportunity to kill bin Laden in Afghanistan.
Obama is going to get shredded in the debates, no MSM cover for him :)
Like the scene in the movie Airplane.
It was sarcasm, Always Right posted something immediately after for those who may have not caught this.
So this really is about as good as the Dems can do?
Adolph Hitler placed more confidence, trust, and faith in military flag ranked officers and their staff than does Obama. (those who have studied military history will grasp how historically significant this criticism really is...)
