Ah you’re too kind, AB. Later in the thread I’ll go into more detail. It’s interesting but let me not mislead. It’s not entirely MY book. My story is, however, the best of the bunch. It is a great book, great writing....seriously.

For now, heh, here’s a concept, we shall stick to the thread as I have thoughts, opinions and such.

First, McCain was right although again, as I make the sign of the cross, why is this man ALWAYS the so-called “conservative” guest? This gives the folks some idea that McCain is the mouth of the Republican party when you, I and all other readers, know that he is definitely not liked.

But he IS the Senator from Arizona and as much as he tried to stretch his mouth to encompass both sides, he was right on about how the federal gubmint treats Arizona crap. Did you hear federal agencies are now boycotting Arizona? Did you ever think the day would come in your lifetime when our President would go to war against a state? and all because the state wants to protect its citizens?

Next, hey, Shiela Lee! She looks normal! She doesn’t have that African braid thing on her head. She looks like a normal American and she’s not talking too weird. She’s still a dumb lib. Maybe I’m reading too much into it but I’m thinking the Dems in California have probably been pushed too far left, that Barbara Boxer might already have gone too far, that the Dems need to go back to center if they’ve got a chance. I’m probably reading too much into the makeover of Shiela Lee but hey, recall the mockery that Boxer got for her Donald Trump hairstyle, which she rightly deserved.

As for Afghanistan, America needs to figure out a way how to get the hell out of there without making it look like we’re losing.

First, my thinking is that McChrystal planned this entire episode. He knew that those ridiculous rules of engagement (don’t shoot your gun until command is given?) were causing death and danger. Without this big public uproar I think the cowardly Obamer admin (this is a guy who throws a baseball like a girl and eats cilantro) would get more and more absurd until the ROE’s would command that our guys surrender immediately upon any sighting of a Taliban.

I suspect that Petraeus demanded that the ROE’s be changed as there’s been hints of this since McChrystal quite.

As for Afghanistan, I don’t have the solution. But I sure think throwing our money and military folks at that neanderthal place is a waste of resources.

A REAL leader would be pondering and thinking of how to do this with as much pride as possible. I think the Obamer admin plan was to have our guys keep getting killed until Americans demand we leave there.

Kinda like Vietnam, you think?
