Live from New York...it's Barack Obama!
On the banks of the Hudson River at West Point, Obama will give his military strategy for Afghanistan, based on the tactical genius of Capt. Spaulding, aka Groucho Marx:
Oh dear, he is coming, At last he's here.
(Spaulding) Hello, I must be going, I cannot stay, I came to say, I must be going. I'm glad I came, but just the same I must be going. La La.
(Mrs. Rittenhouse) For my sake you must stay. If you should go away, You'd spoil this party I am throwing.
(Spaulding) I'll stay a week or two, I'll stay the summer thru, But I am telling you, I must be going.
(All) Before you go, Will you oblige us, And tell us of your deeds so glowing?
(Spaulding) I'll do anything you say, In fact I'll even stay!
(All) Good!
(Spaulding) But I must be going.
McCain should have said he wants the generals to testify in front of congress like Petraeus did
First of all the war in Iraq did not cost 1 trillion dollars. Second of all the war was not solely about WMD. But since you ask about WMD, the ones from Libya are all destroyed or in American hands. You see that particular nutbag gave them up because Bush scared the crap out of him.
Finally there were very good reasons to go to war in Iraq and Afghanistan. I'd be happy to debate you on that if you'd like.
MAXINE WATERS...speaking with Keith Olberdork on PMSNBC says she will NOT support Obozo and this surge. Says it is NOT what Obozo promised, she will not vote to authorize funds and the BLACK CAUCUS does NOT support this additional troops to Afghanistan!!
OBOZO loses, EPIC FAIL!
Even Bob Schieffer, who began by saying this was the “defining speech” of Zero’s presidency, was befuddled, asking how you can send more men in, but say we’ll only stay a couple of years? Won’t that send the wrong messages???
Same here..see my spontaneous post 647.
Those poor kids, they had to be there.
Was he crying uncontrollably when he said it?
Whoa! Maxine is pissed. He will lose the support of the Black Caucus.
Old Maxine said the “E” word—ESCALATION
That’s what got Lyndon Johnson fried way back when.
OK, that was the line of the night. Do you have your towel?
He wouldn’t know “open and honestly” if it bit him in the butt.
Asian guy at bottom is asleep, guy to the left looks like he’s gonna hurl.
Get it on big boy and start with telling me that preemption doctrine is OK for us but no good for China?
Not outside the realm of possibility.
The only thing this clown has determined is that he could not find sufficient argument to NOT send additional troops, thus offending his liberal base and you.
If I ever listen to a PutzOTUS read again, may I have my butt kicked up around my nose.
Anger does not come close to describing my reception to this read (speech would impute some knowledge or what the speaker is talking about). Every time DumBO talked about how it was he who was going to do this or that, I got a sinking feeling of doom for the US. As I watched, I thought I saw a toothbrush mustache growing before my eyes, and wondering when the personal allegiances were going to be sworn.
The three strategies seem designed for failure. Wait 18 months in Helman, and walk in. His heart would have been in it if he had said Allahu akbar to the Afghan people. And, Pakistan is weaker than with Musharif and he wants to work with them.
My guess is he has his money on Navy and he wanted to put Army into a stupor for a month,
I want my country back.
“god” has a capital G.
More like stupified. Like, please, someone tell me what’s happening. He didn’t mean that, right?
