In several posts, I made the statement, and I'll say it again, that the Obama-Biden "Osama, Al Qaeda, and Pakistan" issue is one, big, fat herring. No, I take that back. It's a huige stinking pile of garbage where the intention is not to support democracy in Pakistan, but to intentionally destabilize it.
Biden made mention of Pakistan "already having nukes," as if Pakistan is going to allow a terrorist "up in the hills and caves near Afghanistan" to get hold of them.
Nope. This is a calculated move by them to take the issue of a nuclear Iran off the table. Biden has been in bed with Iran for many years, and the very last thing he and the Messiah would do is to "upset" Iran.
This crap about, "Well Ahmadinejad is not the most powerful person in Iran," or "Ahmadinejad" is not the person who runs the country" is doggie doo. The mullahs from Khomeni on down have bought into his messianic and maniacal view that wiping out Israel will hasten the return of the 12th Imam.
If Islamic fundamentalists take control of Pakistan, not only will Obama-Biden NOT mess with Iran, they won't mess with Pakistan either, sayting, "Sorry folks, but we cannot go into Pakistan looking for Osama -- who's probably dead by now -- because Pakistan has nukes."
Biden is a lying bee-atch for claiming that "Iran is not working on building a nuke."
How many jumped out of their chairs when he said that -- along with his comment that Obama supports nuclear power?
Over the years, I’ve determined that the left wants to
“get Osama”
because they still see the WOT as a farce that should be treated like a criminal prosecution.
They want to “get Osama” so that they can say “game over” and ignore the threat and go back to spending on socialist programs, like their European models.
Europeans can spend on socialism because they can rely on the American military to protect them.
No, actually, I think not. A "herring" (by which I think you mean, red herring?) is a ploy to divert attention.
I honestly think Obama doesn't understand Totten's fundamental point. He sees the war in Iraq in isolation from the war in Afghanistan; and he clearly doesn't understand Iran's role in worldwide terrorism, nor the dangers Iran actually poses to the world (think oil, for one thing).
To put it in McCain's words, Obama doesn't understand the difference between a tactic and a strategy. I think it's worse than that: he doesn't even understand the real issues behind this war, nor the true stakes involved.
He's an ambitious, self-aggrandizing fool.
