Gee, why the rush Barry?

Must have got a sneak preview of Governor Palin’s interview with Greta this evening...Mama Bear was pissed.

You noticed that too..She was as pissed as I have ever seen her. She smoked his ass and made mince meat out of him.

Maybe he’ll supply them with cans of RAID since they’re not allowed to use their weapons.

“Obama says he will listen to generals about the war”

Obviously he was waiting for the Senate to vote on the initial round for healthcare. This way his base can be distracted appeased, I repeat, APPEASED.

There now, fixed.

He shortchanges by 6,000. Obama, the great military genius, has determined after 4 months, that only 85% of the request is the appropriate number.

followed by meetings on Capitol Hill aimed at winning congressional support amid opposition by some Democrats who are worried about the strain on the U.S. Treasury

Oh, puh-leeeeze.

The U.S. officials all spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the issue publicly and because, one official said, the White House is incensed by leaks on its Afghanistan policy that didn’t originate in the White House.

Liars!

I certainly wouldn’t want this guy as my personal physician. You go in with an arterial wound and he tells you to take an aspirin and he’ll get back to you in three months with his final recommendation.

[Tallguy]

Half-measures almost never work. This is a half-measure.

[mojitojoe]

Yep! He loves to leak.

[American Constitutionalist]

Remember the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal !

It takes a lot of troops when you have to read the Miranda rights to every Mo you catch trying to kill you, and have the reading recorded in videotape, and witnessed by two JAG fags and at least a couple of leftist reporters, at least one from some Europeon country that considers itself just so intellectually superior to the United States, but proves over and over to be cowardly and inconsequential otherwise, plus a representative of CAIR and one from the National Council of Churches.
Just send in the present number of Anericans, but include only warfighters in the contingent Send everyone else home. No rules of engagement, no trainers, no nation builders, no bleeding hearts, nobody but pure warfighters, just us versus them in an all out kickass no holds barred battle for as long as there is a mohammedan breeder left over there who wants to fight. The result would be quicker and cheaper than all this dithering. Afghanistan isn’t going to become a democratic or uncorrupt society any time soon, if ever, but they could be taught to insure that they don’t screw around, directly or indirectly, with anything in our interest. They are worth nothing to us, and if they all were dead, what difference would it make?.
Of course, all the bleeding hearts of the left and their Mohammedan-oriented waffle-loving teleprompter-in-charge are not pragmatic enough to see the value of kicking butt big time when you finally have to go to fist city.

> Another trial balloon.

As is his entire presidency.

[dr_who]

Don’t worry. They’ll be another three months after Obama’s bunch figures out how people react to this latest trial balloon. Looks like the number hasn’t changed much, so he’s close to almost being done I guess.

[4rcane]

this is how democrats operate, they trial balloon via leaks

[HardStarboard]

I read that 34,000 as the likely number at least a month ago - probably more like 6 weeks.

Proof that all the meetings, posturing, angst about the decision was a smoke screen to delay until the Senate healthcare vote.

Diabolical plick!

[AmericanInTokyo]

When do the big anti-war demonstrations start breaking out on American campuses all across the land by swarms of college students, with big effigies of Barack Obama being manhandled? /sarc
