Stalinists lie. Always.

Actually, true believers (in just about any cause) are able to rationalize their lies because the lie is in the service of a higher truth. Therefore, in their minds, it isn't really a lie.

I have a growing belief that we should get out of Afghanistan as fast as possible. I have zero confidence in these peoples ability to achieve anything militarily. Every military campaign they have lead since WWII was been an unmitigated disaster. I fear Afghanistan will be no exception, they simply don’t have competence nor capacity to envision let a lone achieve victory.

Ladies and Gentlemen, meet the first targets of Obama's upcoming purge. The Party Faithful who Aren't Quite Faithful Enough Any Longer are always the first to be cleansed.

I wonder if the White House will have a statement about this- OR- if anyone will ask for one.

I always suspected the loudest critics of the war were vile and despicable. What a shame they have opened their mouths and removed all doubt.

I like “worser”. It compliments my “more better” and “more unique” quite nicely. ;-)

We Claimed to Support [fill in the blank] as Political Strategy to Prove Our "Macho" Credentials; We Never Meant It.

This statement should be written in letters ten feet high on the tombstone of American foreign policy.

Lovers of liberty and democracy should take note: the Obama gov't doesn't care about freedom, democracy, or justice in the world. They will form or dissolve alliances at the whim of the polls. Don't count on them, they will do or say whatever is expedient and convenient for them. Tomorrow they might say the opposite, for the same reasons.

More than likely, they will let the tanks roll over you. They profess compassion for oppressed peoples everywhere, then leave them stranded on the beach. Forget the Alamo, remember the Bay of Pigs. Think of Obama as the man thumbing his nose at you from the back of the last chopper out of Saigon.

Now you have their domestic agenda covered as well.
