NATURAL-BORN LOSERS

The question of whether President Obama should send more troops to Afghanistan misses the point.
What Obama really needs to do is: Invent a time machine, go back to the 2008 presidential campaign and not say, over and over and over again, that Afghanistan was a "war of necessity" while the war in Iraq was a "war of choice." (Oh, and as long as you're back there, ditch Van Jones, Valerie Jarrett and that gay "school safety" czar.)
The most important part of warfare is picking your battlefield, and President Bush picked Iraq for a reason.
Neither Iraq nor Afghanistan attacked us on 9/11 -- or the dozen other times American embassies, barracks and buildings came under jihadist onslaught since Jimmy Carter presided over "regime change" in Iran in 1979. Both countries -- and others -- gave succor to terrorists who had attacked the U.S. repeatedly, and would do so again.
As liberals endlessly reminded us during the three weeks of war in Afghanistan before the U.S. military swept into Kabul, Afghanistan has all the makings of a military disaster. It is mountainous, cave-pocked, tribal, has no resources worth fighting for and a populace that makes Khalid Sheikh Mohammed look like Alistair Cooke.
By contrast, Iraq had a relatively educated, pro-Western populace, but was ruled by a brutal third-world despot.
It's always something with the Muslims. You either have mostly sane people governed by a crazy dictator -- Iraq, Iran and Syria (also California and Michigan) -- or a crazy people governed by relatively sane leaders -- Pakistan and Afghanistan, post-U.S. invasion (also Vermont and Minnesota). There are also insane people ruled by insane leaders (but enough about the House Democratic Caucus). Sane people with sane rulers has not been fully tried yet.
Not only could regime change in Iraq work, but Iraq's countryside was susceptible to America's overwhelming air power. Also, Iraq has fabulous natural resources. Once the U.S. got control of Iraq's oil fields, the Shia, Sunni and Kurds could decide to either prosper together or starve together. (And it's not just oil: They're basically sitting on top of most of the world's proven reserves of cab drivers.)
By contrast, there aren't a lot of sticks that can be used in a wasteland like Afghanistan, where the people live in caves and scratch out a living in the dirt. The only "carrot" we might be able to offer them would be actual carrots.
But Democrats couldn't care less about military strategy -- at least any "strategy" that doesn't involve allowing soldiers to date one another. To the extent you can get liberals to focus on national security at all, you will find they are rooting against their own country.

Now nearly all denizens of the Middle East want the U.S. to invade them, so they can live in democracy, too. As Thomas Friedman inadvertently admitted, Lebanese voters credit their recent free election, in which the voters threw out Hezbollah, to President Bush. (American liberals, naturally, gave the credit to Obama, who they also believe is responsible for the sun rising every morning.)Read the rest at AnnCoulter.Com
Gee! Ann, what’s this you’re say?
I guess I am feeling too “cranky” to pay attention to you.
It was Obama's meaningless blather about Afghanistan being a "war of necessity" during the campaign that has moved the central front in the war on terrorism from Iraq -- a good battleground for the U.S. -- to Afghanistan -- a lousy battlefront for the U.S.Obama wee wee'd out on this one.
Damn, is she good!
"...It's always something with the Muslims."Multiple target" ZING!You either have mostly sane people governed by a crazy dictator -- Iraq, Iran and Syria (also California and Michigan) --
or a crazy people governed by relatively sane leaders -- Pakistan and Afghanistan, post-U.S. invasion (also Vermont and Minnesota)." - Ann Coulter
LOL yup she nailed it!
I guess I am feeling too "cranky" to pay attention to you.C'mon, wintertime!
Ann is obviously TRYING to extend the olive branch to the "Show us your Birth Certificate" crowd.The title of her column this week has "Natural Born" in it!
Get it, NATURAL BORN -- as in Natural Born CITIZEN!It looks like Ann wants to "move on" (as it were) beyond our past differences. :o)
Truce?
"...What Obama really needs to do is: Invent a time machine,It's been done.go back to the 2008 presidential campaign and not say, over and over and over again, thatAfghanistan was a 'war of necessity' while the war in Iraq was a 'war of choice.'" - Ann Coulter

Is Ann coming to a different conclusion and using the title as a method of inference about the credibility of Barry O.’s Certificate?

Obama’s eligibility has revealed the true slimy and cowardly character of our loud mouthed, so-called, conservative talk show hosts and commentators.
Rush, Beck, Hannity, OReilly, Coulter, Boortz, Medved, Malkin, the entire Fox News stable of beauties, et. al. ...Weenie pond scum! All of them!
When tyranny comes these so-call conservative talk show cowards will **eagerly** lick the boots of the oligarchs and spit shine tyranny and oppress their fellow Americans with their smooth tongued propaganda.
Some issues are deal breakers. Some issues peel the veneer off the rot. Obama’s eligibility is one of those issues. I now know how deep Rush's (and the rest of the yapping weenies’) commitment is to the Constitution.
May God bless Rev. Manning. May God save our nation and raise up more brave and true men like him who will defend our Constitution.
The baby is gasping for air.
You gonna save it?
You missed the best of the targets...
“You either have mostly sane people governed by a crazy dictator — Iraq, Iran and Syria (also California and Michigan)”
Being in MI, she sure hit home!

No offense Ann, but a lot of people weren't clicking on Syncro's NEW threads about your columns, because they thought (from the similar TITLE) that it was still an OLD thread -- with the same name, IMHO.
Rev. Manning can save nothing.
Rush, Beck and Levin are at least educating the populace so the clowns can be voted out. Obama has sealed all his records. There is no way to force O to prove he is a citizen. NO WAY. Anyone can demand but all he has to do is say no. See what is happening with Orly. Do you think that anyone of the MSM will push the issue?
Levin’s Landmark Legal foundation is fighting Cap and Trade legally. Rush is pushing the limits and Beck is reaching so many people, the regime is not laughing (I watch him on TikiLive. His numbers there have gone from the hundreds to the thousands) We can’t win by trying to prove Barry is not eligible. But we can do what we can.
Great article!
Reporting from California, I’d have to say that most of the people here are crazy and are led by a crazy dictator. If most Californians were sane we’d have better senators representing us and fewer reps like Waxman and Waters.
Bookmarked to read later
Why don’t you go on national TV and carry the message? Why don’t you do something.
It’ s much easier to be insignificant and do nothing but criticize other isn’t it?
When the oligarchy oppresses us Ann will eagerly lick their boots, spit shit their tyranny, and use the opportunity to advance herself in the glow of their jack boots.
Some issues are deal breakers. How Ann has handled Obama’s eligibility has peeled the bandaid off her moral gangrene. No matter how hard she tries to cover it up again we all know it stinks.
Best line of the article:
“But Democrats couldn’t care less about military strategy — at least any “strategy” that doesn’t involve allowing soldiers to date one another.”
I have a feeling that after 4 years of the zero, the people will be eager to put in a good conservative as POTUS. Then after a few years, the idiots who elected the zero will once again be persuaded that black is white, up is down, and evil is good and put another idiot Rat in office.
>>How Ann has handled Obama’s eligibility has peeled the bandaid off her moral gangrene. No matter how hard she tries to cover it up again we all know it stinks.<<
Well that’s your opinion, but there is no reason to come onto an Ann Coulter thread and tick everyone off with it.
I personally think she is great. One screw up is not the end of them world for me.
Ha Ha! You hit the nail on the head. Expecially Kalifornia.
You're sick mind has taken over and you Freudian slipped a swear word in on this one.
Your "licking" fetish isn't welcome here.
Get over yourself and slither back on over to the threads where your spinning wheels don't stink up normal threads.
Thanks
BTW, it's fall not winter. You're a little early
I am not much for political talk show types running for office.
Ann however I hope does just that when she gets older and is ready to settle/slow down from what she currently enjoys doing now.
Her quick wit and sharp tongue is perfect for holding a political office in DC.
We all know, no such thing. Get over yourself. Most conservatives are not birthers. Ann has the sense to know Birtherism is a crackpot issue. Good for her.
But...Remember! If and when tyranny comes these loud mouthed quacking ducks will take every opportunity to swim at the feet of our masters.
Ann and the rest of the so-called “conservative” pond scum quackers are opportunists. How they have handled Obama’s eligibility has peeled back their slick moral slime, and they stink! All of them!
How Ann has handled Obama’s eligibility has peeled the bandaid off her moral gangrene.Ouch!
So, which conservative leaders (in your opinion) **are** carrying the torch for this issue?I agree with you that this is a serious issue, but I worry when virtually NONE of the conservative commentators that I trust are out there in front of this thing.
Maybe they DO know something that we don't know...
...like (for whatever reason) this is NOT the best issue for us to go to the mattresses on?
You really should let go of yourself when you are making comments. Reading through your Comment would lead one to conclude that you are a noisemaker or a TROL.
Do you dream of sitting under Obama’s desk?
I agree and I dont have any visual bias in the matter as woman.
The notion that these people have examined the issue and don’t think there’s anything there isn’t a possibility?
>>If and when tyranny comes these loud mouthed quacking ducks will take every opportunity to swim at the feet of our masters.<<
Maybe some but not all.
I do believe some will escape out of the country and that may be Ann, but I also believe that there are some of them, Levin and Beck for example, that will be in the trenches with us.
Both are God Fearing Men and do not tread lightly with their actions.
Oh, and btw, Rush has brought up the Birth Certificate issue more than once.
I am not much for political talk show types running for office.You got THAT right!Ann however I hope does just that when she gets older and is ready to settle/slow down from what she currently enjoys doing now.

Personally, I'm O.K. with Palin/Coulter in 2012. :o)And, check out the GREAT comments about Ann on THIS thread:
Ann Coulter Debates Al Sharpton on President Obama Winning the Nobel Peace Prize - VideoHere is video of Ann Coulter debating Al Sharpton on President Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. This debate occurred over the weekend on Geraldo's show.
Coulter said she is surprised the Nobel Committee is not being accused of "racism" for waiting as long as they did to give him the award!
Sharpton essentially admitted he has been given the award for being a "transformative" figure in winning the election in 2008 and setting a different "tone."
Coulter interpreted Sharpton's statement "transformative," to mean because Obama is a black man. Coulter asked if Obama is going to receive a "Tony Award" as well? . . . (VIDEO)

Gorgeous. I wish it would have continued for an hour or more.Predictably, Ann is the only one who projects a sense of informed disdain in the face of the fawning sycophants to her left.

hmmmm...
lol
I have a feeling that after 4 years of the zero, the people will be eager to put in a good conservative as POTUS.That's the PLAN...
:o)
I see he has fooled you.
In all the time that Obama has had a serious chance at the presidency ( 2 years?) Rush has given this issue about 5 minutes, and nearly all of that was in jokes.
Rush has done **just** enough so that if there ever is discovery, Rush can say, “See! I covered it! Run the tapes!”
Rush like Ann is an opportunist. Both of them “use” conservatives. When tyranny comes both will throw us away like a snotty ball of used Kleenx, and will willing take every opportunity to wipe the noses of our masters.
Well...If you believe that, you can check my posting history.
Maybe,..I am pointing out the truth.
If these talk show quackers can use us, then we should indeed take every opportunity to use them to fully advance conservative issues.
BUT...How they have handled Obama’s eligibility ( a “deal breaker” issue) shows them for what they truly are, and we should remember that.
If we don't go to the mattress for the Constitution, then what else could possibly be greater that is worth fighting for?
Gee! But I guess I just a “crank” for asking these fundamental questions.
And?
What exactly do you want him to do?
I’m not sure you understand the Psychology of this. Rush is a hurricane. If he devotes his time to this, or Hannity does, the issue is dead in the water, sucked into the vortex of Slam. The MSM is hoping they jump on it. Because NOTHING can be done about it. All records are sealed. Period. So if one of them go whole heartedly into it, they actually hurt the conservative movement.
You can’t be paying attention to what is going on. You can’t see how these people are being hung out to dry. Beck has picked up security on his family, Rush is being openly slandered by sportspeople. If anyone seriously touches this issue, they will be completely discredited. That’s ANY one of these people.
Rush has nodded to his base, Levin and Beck have done the same. WE know where they are.
Earlier if Taitz succeeds in getting the zero declared an illegitimate president.
Gee! One little screw up over something as insignificant as our Constitution!
Great Ann! ( /s)
I suppose I'm just feeling too “cranky” to take her seriously on anything else she might opine.
