I wonder how the editor of the original manuscript of Alter’s book about Obama dealt with the numerous pages that were stuck together.

They need manly stuff like this for Zero when it comes out about Reggie Love, and how Vera Baker is a beard for Zero.
The Muslim world will have a camel over that one.
Just my humble opinion.

I dont’ think the “dreams” of a communist Kenyan goatherder are the same as the “top brass” at the Pentagon.

Judging from some the military’s politically correct agendas like trying Navy Seals for getting rough with some Islamist pig, and covering up the Fort Hood Killer’s wacky beliefs, they DESERVE to be dressed down - but not by that clown Obama.

McCrystal should have simply resigned and spilled the beans. But, oh, he's a democrat too...
I have never trusted liberals in uniform. Not no way, not no how.
