President Barack Obama has promised not to attack Pakistan-based al-Qaida leaders or fighters from bases inside Afghanistan.
The surprising commitment effectively bars Obama and his successors from launching another nighttime helicopter raid like the one that that killed Osama bin Laden.

Each time a Dem “talking head” praises his anniversary celebration now in full force, this fact should be exposed and forced into the debate.
... and Karzai probably thinks that doing his best to front for the Taliban will save his sorry butt when they come knocking on his front door in Kabul with loaded AK’s and a length of rope.
Remember the stage hook from vaudeville days? I’m not that old either, but I remember the old Warner Bros. Cartoons, and the hook hauling Daffy, or Bugs off the stage.
We need something like that to get this guy off the stage, that or a trap door.
