When you ignore Afghanistan for 7 years then you never get stories like this: The Taliban’s top military commander was captured several days ago in Karachi, Pakistan, in a secret joint operation by Pakistani and American intelligence forces, according to American government officials. The commander, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, is an Afghan described by American […]
There has been all this talk from the fat of how he wants “Obama to fail”. Well now that the government has such a large stake in General Motors, the fat one is calling for a boycott of General Motors. Bob points out the irony here: Just a couple of weeks ago, the wingnuts were […]
Oh and they are. They hate this press conference. Let’s look at the wingnut queen Michelle Malkin: Update 8:05pm Eastern. President Obama. “It is only government that can break the vicious cycle.” Jobs, jobs, jobs. Investment, investment, investment. Gag. President Obama claims to be acting on behalf of my children and grandchildren. So talking stimulus […]
McCain is back to being a Senator and offering advice on Afghanistan: Sen. John McCain says the situation in Afghanistan will get more difficult before it gets easier — “just like the surge in Iraq was.” The former Republican presidential candidate visited the southern province of Helmand on Sunday, where he said NATO forces are […]
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, […]
There is a report of a call going out from Clinton’s campaign in Columbus where the caller refers to Obama as “Osama bin Laden”. If this is true then it is not only fear mongering, but also extremely racist.
McCain trying to get back at Obama today: McCain criticized Obama for saying in Tuesday night’s Democratic debate that, after U.S. troops were withdrawn, as president he would act “if al-Qaida is forming a base in Iraq.” “I have some news. Al-Qaida is in Iraq. It’s called `al-Qaida in Iraq,’” McCain told a crowd in […]
They took action right away on this one: NBC News said Tuesday it has reprimanded the employee responsible for mistakenly flashing a picture of Osama bin Laden on MSNBC as Chris Matthews talked about Barack Obama. “This mistake was inexcusable,” MSNBC spokesman Jeremy Gaines said. It happened during the opening of “Hardball” Monday evening. Matthews […]
Sounds kind of convenient: The US military has lost a year’s worth of records describing the Guantanamo confinement of Osama bin Laden’s driver, a prosecutor said at the Yemeni captive’s war court hearing. Lawyers for the driver, Salim Ahmed Hamdan, asked for the records to support their argument that prolonged isolation and harassment at the […]
So here we are – the 6th anniversary of 9/11. All the television stations are replaying their coverage of the attacks and we will be reminded of it all day. I think it is an insult to Americans to constantly remind them of the attacks. There isn’t any other nation that goes through this kind […]
