Well at least she does on Pakistan: Sarah Palin told a customer at a Philadelphia restaurant on Saturday that the United States should “absolutely” launch cross-border attacks from Afghanistan into Pakistan in the event that it becomes necessary to “stop the terrorists from coming any further in,” a comment similar to the one John McCain […]
Watch this clip from last night: McCain: “We were able to help the Afghan freedom fighters drive the Russians out of Afghanistan we washed our hands of the the region.” Those so called ‘freedom fighters” were the Mujahideen, who were Muslim extremists recruited and trained by the U.S. to fight push Russia out of Afghanistan, […]
John McCain: My friends, we have reached a crisis, the first probably serious crisis internationally since the end of the Cold War. This is an act of aggression. McCain last month: McCAIN: The fact is we had four years of failed policy. We were losing. We were losing the war in Iraq. The consequences of […]
Here’s John McCain yesterday saying that “in the 21st century, nations don’t invade other nations”. Interesting comment. I thought we invaded Iraq and Afghanistan in the 21st century. I guess it could be another senior moment. Speaking of senior moments, here’s a pop quiz. Who is President of the United States? Apparently McCain thinks he […]

When Obama said he would go after al Qaeda in Pakistan, the right wingers went ape shit. They couldn’t believe he would do such a thing to a sovereign nation. I mean we could have seen future articles like this: U.S.-led forces in Afghanistan fired across the border into Pakistan in a strike targeting Taliban […]
Thursday night Obama brought up this story: “You know, I’ve heard from an Army captain who was the head of a rifle platoon — supposed to have 39 men in a rifle platoon,” he said. “Ended up being sent to Afghanistan with 24 because 15 of those soldiers had been sent to Iraq. And as […]
This really makes a lot of sense: A North Dakota manufacturer has agreed to pay $2 million to settle a suit saying it had repeatedly shortchanged the armor in up to 2.2 million helmets for the military, including those for the first troops sent to Iraq and Afghanistan. Twelve days before the settlement with the […]
Ok this is an interesting statement: The director of national intelligence said Tuesday he is concerned that al-Qaida in Iraq is shifting its focus to attacks elsewhere in the region. “They may deploy resources to mount attacks outside the country,” Mike McConnell told a Senate hearing, although he also said that fewer than 100 terrorists […]
