Displaying 15,601 To 15,630 Of 16,275 Comments 30,000 Reasons to Leave Afghanistan Mo, I am still waiting on you to enlighten me on how Obama has made millions of lives miserable without just cause. » Posted By bito On December 2, 2009 @ 3:31 pm Morning, Dear Kalima, Do you think he could do some shopping for me? » Posted By bito On December 2, 2009 @ 3:25 pm Is that how you voted? Psy 101? » Posted By bito On December 2, 2009 @ 3:22 pm Whoa, Mo! How much is Obama supposed to cleanup after eight years of the last administration? » Posted By bito On December 2, 2009 @ 3:04 pm I am having a difficult time taking you comment seriously, since you started out with this morning with something like “I don’t trust Obama anymore.” Then you followed up with stating that you are a cynic. So when I read your comments I think” ok, a bomb thrower” » Posted By bito On December 2, 2009 @ 2:47 pm j’avaz, Chris Mathews just made an apology after getting “a ton of emails”. I will try to get the transcript link for you. » Posted By bito On December 2, 2009 @ 2:27 pm Sec. Clinton is sharp. Graham is not up to walking her dog, and cleaning up after it » Posted By bito On December 2, 2009 @ 2:21 pm No, I am not going to take it from a 48 year-old cynic! » Posted By bito On December 2, 2009 @ 2:15 pm KQ, I second that. » Posted By bito On December 2, 2009 @ 1:58 pm OK, j’avaz it is! » Posted By bito On December 2, 2009 @ 1:34 pm I have a problem that perhaps you, my friends can help me with solving :Who angers you the most with their asinine comments: » Posted By bito On December 2, 2009 @ 1:26 pm The Mudflats ran a post on it. Guess she had a flirtation with spelling her name that way. Pretty exotic, ya think? » Posted By bito On December 2, 2009 @ 12:58 pm Goodness, Mo, we have Karl Rove & John McCain here. We don’t need to go across the pond. No, really, good link. » Posted By bito On December 2, 2009 @ 12:55 pm What? We should thank S’arah? 😉 » Posted By bito On December 2, 2009 @ 12:49 pm I like this line from Sullivan’s piece: And the idea that permanent Western occupation of Muslim lands will decrease Jihadist terror is so insane only Dick Cheney could still believe it. » Posted By bito On December 2, 2009 @ 12:46 pm Good link KQ, McCain was “standing by” to get on the telly ASAP after the speech. Help me remember, did he lose the election? http://thinkprogress.org/2009/12/02/mccain-victory-afghanistan/ » Posted By bito On December 2, 2009 @ 12:34 pm We listened to the speech, we have heard the skeptics, politicians,pundits and read the comments here. What do some of the Afghans think? Seems as mixed as the what we hear here. http://thinkprogress.org/2009/12/02/afghans-respond-to-surge/ » Posted By bito On December 2, 2009 @ 12:18 pm I saw an hour long interview with the two of them on C-Span. It was remarkable to hear them and how much they were trying to work together on many problems and their understanding of the same goals. Rummy and Powell? Nah. Rummy and Rice? Nah. Cheney any anyone else? Nah. » Posted By bito On December 2, 2009 @ 11:24 am K7,I second the motion Sir! » Posted By bito On December 2, 2009 @ 10:53 am Elections are fun. They get you all pumped up, adrenaline flows. You get to wear funny hats and pins. Everyone is working together off the same page with a single mission. Get the candidate elected. Legislation is difficult, time consuming and slow. How was Obama supposed to “roll medicare in to the public option”? Magic? He is President. 1/3 of the government. The Senate is made up of 100 alpha dogs, all thinking they could be president. Try getting 60 of these critters to all eat out of the same bowel. He addressed the economy in the speech last night. That is one reason he proposed an exit plan. As he said (last night and in the campaign) he can’t pick and choose 1 topic/problem at a time. All have weight and consequences to them. Many are intertwined. Do you get to enumerate the priorities? Do I? I chose to elect him and to make the right choices. He will serve 4 years, not 11 months. » Posted By bito On December 2, 2009 @ 10:45 am I wish I wrote down the numbers the cited. At least Hali-burden isn’t taking all the profits off shore. » Posted By bito On December 2, 2009 @ 10:07 am Couple observations watching the hearings this morning. » Posted By bito On December 2, 2009 @ 9:51 am If anyone is interested Sec.Clinton,Sec.Gates and Adm. Mullen are in Senate hearings on C-Span -3 » Posted By bito On December 2, 2009 @ 8:33 am Is there some given point, some magic spot when one can turn their head and ignore cruelty? A child kicking a dog? an adult beating a child? a gang abusing a few people? Is there a point to see and do nothing? » Posted By bito On December 1, 2009 @ 7:58 pm And there is no shortage of cheerleaders for the uprising while Barack Husein Obabma is president. » Posted By bito On December 1, 2009 @ 7:39 pm You’re good girl. 🙂 » Posted By bito On December 1, 2009 @ 7:08 pm But don’t you remember the greetings of flowers? We don’t need no stinking troops. Is there a site of all Rummy’s ridiculous,asinine statements? K7, write a book on them! » Posted By bito On December 1, 2009 @ 6:50 pm This is for you DICK! (words from the speech) As your Commander-in-Chief, I owe you a mission that is clearly defined, and worthy of your service. That is why, after the Afghan voting was completed, I insisted on a thorough review of our strategy. Let me be clear: there has never been an option before me that called for troop deployments before 2010, so there has been no delay or denial of resources necessary for the conduct of the war. Instead, the review has allowed me ask the hard questions, and to explore all of the different options along with my national security team, our military and civilian leadership in Afghanistan, and with our key partners. Given the stakes involved, I owed the American people » Posted By bito On December 1, 2009 @ 6:38 pm And Mr. McCain says he doesn’t care if we stay there for a hundred years. You are right K7, that is what Obama said as a candidate, yet every one heard and the right painted: “peacenik”. » Posted By bito On December 1, 2009 @ 6:34 pm Our military readiness is already severely damaged. Do you have an objection to a war surtax? Not unheard of imposing it. » Posted By bito On December 1, 2009 @ 6:23 pmComments Posted By bito
What the hell has he been avoiding? Is he “making your life miserable”> How Is he making Germans lives miserable? Who’s life is he making so intolerable? When did this all start? What did he do that ruined “millions” of peoples lives so miserable? What action has he done to ruin you?
You may draw some similarities, but they are not parallel. The whole Nam thing began from European colonization. Nixon was at the end of a long line. I lost friends and saw many return “mucked” up.
I have very little tolerance for cynics. I was one. Sitting on the stands and Yelling at everyone “You’re wrong” It solves nothing!
Hey, girl!
Karl Rove, Bill Oh’Really, John McCain or Jon Kyl?
or this one

That said. Did you miss the speech last night?
Gates and Hillary seem to get along quite well.
1. It is quite different to have both State Dept. and DOD sitting at the same table showing cooperation on the Afghan problem. Under Bush, DOD and State were at each others throats. All Rummy, All the time.
2. There is no bluster on anyone’s part. Tough questions, “no true answers, tough choices”, Not with overwhelming optimism, but with confidence.
3. State has really cut down on large contractors (read:KBR/Halibuton). Close to 75% of the contractors are Afghan, allowing the money to stay in their country.
Sad to say.
