Is it time for SURGE part II

[Allegra]

I wonder what the putz is doing over there?

Trying to tell the Iraqi government how to do things and pissing them off?

[I see my hands]

"Is this good news or bad news?"

Can't say. I mean: can't say.

[Republic of Texas]

Who did the shooting, our guys or the Taliban?

[OneWingedShark]

The question everyone is asking: Did they get him?

[mylife]

Most likely.

Still I am surprised that he went on at all, let alone a holiday.

[kenmcg]

Hope he brought extra underwear.

[Allegra]

Avoid Biden at all costs......you'd be safer out on the streets even if rockets are falling.

Now, I'm not quite so sure about that.

Rockets are smarter.

Happy Fourth to you, too!

[Rome2000]

At least he’s not bothering Little Leaguers.

[SoCalPol]

LOL! Just when you think things are calming down, Joey shows up.

So glad to see Gen. Petraeus in cammies back in theater.
This is one Great American

[La Lydia]

And because Dick Cheney has multiple ways to kill them.

I hope our troops are safe.

[freespirited]

The same exact thing happened in 1929 and as soon as it did, FDR got on Television to tell the American people all about

You're baaaaaaaaaaaaaad!

[usmcobra]

Do you honestly think our goys would miss?

[usmcobra]

Do you honestly think our goys would miss?

[dps.inspect]

I’ll bet this was a plot hatched by Obama to finally get rid of that dumbass cracker VP.

[Republic of Texas]

Or small business owners.

[Dr. Ursus]

I hope he doesn’t miss his “happy hour.”

“The Terrs never messed with Dick Cheney”

---

Well, if he shot his friend, when he wasn’t trying, what would he do to a terrorist he was actually trying to hit?

[dalereed]

Did Pelosi order the hit to put her one step closer to the White House?

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

“I wonder what the putz is doing over there?”

Ruining the 4th of July for our troops by his presence.

[Allegra]

So glad to see Gen. Petraeus in cammies back in theater.
This is one Great American

Yes, he is and I had the pleasure of meeting him in 2007.

General "O" is a great guy too. He just never smiles.

[Allegra]

I hope he doesn’t miss his “happy hour.”

I'm sure that's why he headed to the Embassy.

They have a couple of really nice bars there.

[Perdogg]

Bush’s fault!

[fieldmarshaldj]

Biden cannot be killed by conventional weaponry.

[Perdogg]

On the golf course probably.

[dforest]

Keep an eye on Nazi Pelosi. She would love to be second in line. hehehe

Look for the giant gavel in the rubble.

[BIGLOOK]

Rockets are smarter.

You're probably right about that.....rockets are unguided and go off wherever they fall but the similarities are apparent.

[SonOfDarkSkies]

Who did the shooting, our guys or the Taliban?

I hate to be the school marm here, but it's not Taliban...it's Tollybahn.;-)

[caww]

Yea...I thought of that too but thoughts of Pelosi next in Line makes me shudder and throw up. We oddly need Biden in the fray.

[wiggen]

He gets to pick. He picks Hillary to make the ticket stronger in 2012. He also neutralizes her,at least he hopes,from running against him.

[mylife]

He is Effing off...at a BBQ

Vice President Joe Biden is in Iraq today for meetings with the troops, their commanders, and Iraqi government officials. In particular, Biden plans to meet with the top candidates in Iraq’s very tight race for prime minister.

President Obama, back from a brief trip to Camp David, welcomes military families to the White House tonight to eat barbecue and watch the annual Washington fireworks show.

Meanwhile, newly confirmed Afghanistan commander David Petraeus is in Kabul today to formally take command on the forces there. “We are in this to win,” Petraeus told U.S., NATO and Afghanistan officials. He also said: “This is a tough mission. There is nothing easy about it.”

[Allegra]

In Ramadi, a woman slipped through four checkpoints at the governor's compound...

Oh, that's going to open a can of worms. Either somebody's in big trouble or that's a case of infiltration in the ISF ranks.

[Dr. Ursus]

Yea,right. Stay safe!

[gorush]

"...rockets red glare, and bombs bursting in air...gave proof through the night, that our Flag was STILL THERE!!!!"

Interestingly, those rockets that the British were firing during this period of the "War of 1812" were acquired in India in 1799 when the British beat the Tipu Sultan. The British didn't have that technology at that point.

[benewton]

Could they try again?

[mylife]

No search was done according to the report.

[Sarah Barracuda]

He was thinking “WOW look these smart asses made me a fireworks display..AWESOME”

[Allegra]

I hate to be the school marm here, but it's not Taliban...it's Tollybahn.;-)

And the Tollybahn isn't in Iraq. They're in Afghanistan. ;-)

[mylife]

What you have in Iraq is “tribes”

[SonOfDarkSkies]

And Pockeeestahn!

[DesertRhino]

Hellfires from a predator?

[Allegra]

And Pockeeestahn!

I cringe when he says that. Of course, I cringe when he says almost anything. ;-)

[SaxxonWoods]

Hey, hope you are well! Did Biden ask why they couldn’t just say something nice?

Hope everyone, including Joe, is OK.

[Allegra]

What you have in Iraq is “tribes”

What we have in Iraq is sand.

Our BBQ this afternoon was held during a low-level sand/dust storm.

Hey, it kept the temperatures down. Gotta love it.

[SonOfDarkSkies]

Well, like me, you didn’t attend Hahvaahd Lawrrr Skull.;-)

[Diogenesis]

Same ROE for Plugs?
Is his protective squad not shooting back?
Do they have empty weapons, too?

[Palladin]

I bet Bite-Me bit the dirt!!!

[Upstate NY Guy]

Where is doofus boy?

It is a sad state of affairs for our nation when anyone reading this instantly knows you are talking about the president, the commander in chief.
