Methinks Senator Brown needs a quick refresher course in partisan statements made during election cycles.
1) Remember that golden oldie of Bush'41 flying in a SR-71 to Paris in 1980 to persuade those charming Iranians to keep their US Hostages until after the election? It took the Democrats until 1992 to finally smile and say it weren't so.
2) In 2003 former Clinton Secretary of State Albright 'speculated' to Mort Kondracke that Bush'43 might already have captured Osama binLaden and was waiting for the 'right time' to reveal that fact. She later claimed this to be in jest (just like Mz. Dunn's admiration of Mao?).
and the never to be forgotten ...
3) Bush'43, Dan Rather and the Air National Guard favoritism. The unbiased Dan Rather (whose daughter was a big wheel in Texas Democrat Party), still swears that while the documents may be flawed, the truth cannot be denied.
Please note that I have kept firmly away from the 2000 Florida Election so as to keep any DU lurkers from apoplexy and heart attack.
He has been busy...spent all of 20 hours on Afghanistan in 2.5 months since the request for more troops. Whew! Give that man a week of celeb parties and concerts! Oh and add a vacation in there please!
One of the left’s favorite non-word words, “Hypercritical”.
Translation: someone’s speaking a turth that they choose not to acknowledge.
odumbo took more then a look but with Michelles fat keester what would you expect
Deployment delay sabotages our efforts there and makes it more likely we will lose the war or at least it will be much more costly for us. The Taliban gets the winter to dig in and extend control and we have six more months to look weak.
One can't just wave a wand and have troops deployed. These things take time. Likely we are looking at next Spring or Summer for deployment (if by then). Our situation can deteriorate a whole lot by this dithering.
That's Obama's decision - delay, slow roll, make our situation untenable, build up domestic political steam to cut and run, and encourage international pressure to pull out. He just doesn't want to be saddled with the blame. Therefore, he'll be scapegoating the military (and George Bush for getting us involved in the first place) when the troops can't get the job done with the sops he eventually approves. In the end, both the right ("it's a lost cause") and left ("it's an unjust cause") will be screaming to get out.
We will end up with a bloody mess in Afghanistan. The Islamic jidad will be emboldened and strengthened and will follow us home through our own porous borders and emasculated security systems.
Then the bloody mess will come home.
The development this weekend in the Karzai election throws a wrench in Obama’s plans... what’s the delay now bambi? Guess it would have to be the US elections this week. Afghanistan’s main output is an illegal trade— opium. Karzai is head of the tribes. It is all they produce and it IS their political/tribal structure. Our stated goal in Afghan should be, and has been to rid the place of AlQaida and Taliban (allies, overlapping members of AlQaida) and confirm the death of al-Qaida leadership— cut off the head. Oil politics enters in, and the French are very concerned with the cash flow from the opium/heroin trade (as is all of the Eurotrash/mob Union). This should not be Wilsonian nation building, or making Afghan safe for poppy growers— our best and brightest should not give their lives for such nonsense. Kipling described the Afghan tribalists rather well a long time ago.
All the dopers and their marxist friends in the White House does not bode well for our troops. In the last demonrat-run “conflict” that supported the drug trade, Vietnam (Golden Triangle), our military suffered greatly in morale and were messed with all the time in command structure, building in failure factors. The warriors on the ground have told the president what they need. He needs to stop screwing around to appease his red diaper doper baby friends and give troops what they need for a defined mission goal. Get it done and get out.
It’s the “Chicago Way”.
Thank you!
Not. Gonna. Happen. After Tuesday our Racist in Chief will campaign even harder for his job.
Obamie is in a quandary, he is in a position that he cannot just vote present for and can’t find someone that can make the decision for him so that if things don’t work out, the blame can be put on someone else. Plus the fact that by agreeing to the general’s request puts him at odds with the left that wants us out of Afghanistan no matter what. Win or lose but I think they prefer we lose.
Sherrod Brown, the same guy who had to be flown in specially to ‘guarantee’ the ‘Stimulus’ vote after his mother’s funeral...on federal money? With an AF jet & all?
But that’s not politics......
ALL THESE LIES.
Proof that demons walk the earth.
I rebuke you, Sherrod Brown, in the name of The Christ.
I've been watching the race in New Jersey (used to live there). I'll be really interested to see who's going to win because it is so close in the polls right now.
Maybe POTUS knew it was coming, maybe that is why he proposed to only send troops after a political resolution has been made there. In other words maybe he knew he wouldn’t have to send troops. Only problem is the American people will not stand for POTUS hanging our troops out to dry. Not winning the war, not supporting a surge is plain cowardace by the Democrat Administration. If they had their way in Iraq we would have lost, because they didn’t support the surge previously. It is time for everyone to call them on their failure to admit the surge worked in Iraq and will work again! Failure is not an option!!
I was born and raised in NJ. My grandfather was a ward healer for Mayor Frank Hague. I think that Essex and Hudson counties will manufacture the votes needed for Corzine to win. Unfortunately, voter fraud is going to play a major role in the election. I think we are going to win in VA and in the 23rd in NY. The Dems will take the 10th district in CA in that special election.
It’s hard to imagine NJ people rebuffing the one they embraced twelve months ago. People there believe that there are two choices “Republican-Business and Democrat-People.” They will never figure it out.
But the American people think he is such a hard worker! Are they what Lenin and Stalin called “dupes”?
GWB sacked the ineffective Rumsfeld on the day after the 2006 election disaster.
