Sigh...
Oy! The Boy-Queen at war. (With his aides and everyone else.)
Prickly little guy, isn’t he?
They forgot that they’d actually have to...ummm...govern. “What, me work?!”
Of course they fought each other. They couldn’t get healthcare passed for a year, even with a Democratic super-majority (and when they did get it, it was awful).
this is a very interesting read.
Kids! I knew putting them in charge was a bad idea.
Mmmmm Might have to fork over some money for this book.
Liberal Bob Woodward writes a book about political aides?
Does Obama have nothing to do with this? Is he not the President?
Just what we need.
A bunch of hardcore liberal marxists in power, debating how to pull or not pull the levers of power controlling the military they detest.
One thing you can say about Woodward. Although he is probably a liberal, his political insider reporting seems balanced.He tries to stay with the facts without editorializing.
Consider just how bad that really turned out to be. The National Security Advisor terms this gaggle of fools a Politburo, and he's supposed to be on their side. Our military efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq are in the hands of Chicago ward-heelers and political hacks that make Robert McNamara look like Patton. The Commander in Chief is a feckless academic fool who wants the whole thing to disappear at the end of Fall Term so he can get back to preening as the figurehead for the Titanic.
It's what happens when celebrity trumps competence as a criterion of office. To be perfectly honest, a cardboard cutout could do the same job and cost us a whole lot less.
“Beyond the internal battles, the book offers fresh disclosures on the nation’s continuing battle with terrorists. It reports that the C.I.A. has a 3,000-man “covert army” in Afghanistan called the Counterterrorism Pursuit Teams, or C.T.P.T., mostly Afghans who capture and kill Taliban fighters and seek support in tribal areas. Past news accounts have reported that the C.I.A. has a number of militias, including one trained on one of its compounds, but nothing the size of the covert army. “
Translation:
I have nothing fresh except to pretend that “a number of militias” is somehow different than an “army” and will call it “covert” to make it sound like news to conspiricists and lefties.

So Bob’s strategy is to absolve Obambi the Deer Leader, by blaming his advisors for the policy disasters. Typical
ruling-class media.
Let’s remember that Bob Woodward is the same a**wipe who claimed to have gotten in to see former DCI Bill Casey on his deathbed who ‘confessed’ that he knew all about Iran-Contra, Casey’s widow stated unequivocally that such an ‘interview’ never happened.
Take everything Woodward says not with a grain of salt, but a whole freakin BOX of Morton’s best.
When this gets out through Rush, Hannity, Levin, etc., 0bama's going to have to explain his actions. Putting American Soldier's lives at greater risk for the sole reason being 100% politicking sounds like grounds for impeachment.
I suppose this will make yet another issue to investigate beginning in January.
A variety of administration officials expressed scorn for James L. Jones, the retired Marine general who is national security adviser, while he referred to some of the president’s other aides as “the water bugs” or “the Politburo.”

HORATIO Peace! who comes here?
Enter OSRIC
OSRIC Your lordship is right welcome back to Denmark.
HAMLET I humbly thank you, sir. Dost know this water-fly?
HORATIO No, my good lord.
(Act V, Scene II, Hamlet)
Alas, poor Woodward! I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of infinite jest...
If this book had been written by a credible author, it would help to bring down this clownish administration. But Woodward has a reputation of fabricating conversations and interviews. I’m sure there’s a lot of truth in what he reports, but sorting out what is true and what is Woodward’s “literary license” is an impossible task.
"Obama campaigned on a promise to extract U.S. forces from Iraq and focus on Afghanistan and Pakistan, which he described as the greater threat to American security"
That's because George W Bush eliminated the Iraqi regime as a threat to American and international security.
