Every single time our Crawford Caligua brays about funding for his war of aggression in Iraq, the Democrats need to ask "WHERE IS OSAMA?"
Posted by Gay Veteran at December 6, 2007 11:49 AM"So I don't know where he is. You know, I just don't spend that much time on him, Kelly, to be honest with you. I'm more worried about making sure that our soldiers are well-supplied; that the strategy is clear; that the coalition is strong; that when we find enemy bunched up like we did in Shahikot Mountains, that the military has all the support it needs to go in and do the job, which they did.
And there will be other battles in Afghanistan. There's going to be other struggles like Shahikot, and I'm just as confident about the outcome of those future battles as I was about Shahikot, where our soldiers are performing brilliantly. We're tough, we're strong, they're well-equipped. We have a good strategy. We are showing the world we know how to fight a guerrilla war with conventional means."
hmm - wasn't there something about 'those who do not learn from history are bound to repeat it'?
When bush said, "dead or alive", he really meant it.
p.s. Where's Cheney??!

Posted by dishwashing engineer at December 6, 2007 12:44 PMNero jr should be thanking his lucky stars there is no other superpower out there supplying the Taliban with the sort of weapons we supplied the muhajadeen with during Russia's Afghan Adventure--which sunk them as a superpower.
Just another grinding failure of military overstretch that other people mostly have to live with, until we suffer another round of inevitable blowback, financial and otherwise. And America is too stupid to understand what the hell is going on...nor do our "leaders" have the slightest idea what to do.
Posted by euzoius at December 6, 2007 02:13 PMWell, I do think with certainty in regard to the felons who led us into this war in Iraq that they're plain fucking idiots.
They really did think it would cost $75 billion and be over in a year. They truly were stupid enough to ignore all the history of Iraq and the incredible risks they were taking, they're just dumb.
Now they're trapped, they have to stay. It's all a screaming lie, but they feel trapped to stay, that they have to.
One other thing, according to Faludi 9/11 wasn't a problem to fix, but an opportunity to exploit. I must say, without reading the book, that Bush seems to be fitting her thesis perfectly.

Spot fucking on, euzoius!
And here we are, occupying two middle eastern fronts, spending taxpayer dollars, endlessly spinning our wheels but the Neo-Cons will have the public believe, "We have them right where we want them."
Shoe is on the other foot... idiots!!
Posted by Seven of Six at December 6, 2007 02:31 PMRight as usual, oozo. If our cats weren't being poisoned and our kids weren't slurping on lead toys, China might be helping out like they did in Korea.
And if we weren't buying oil from Russia, they might like a little payback for Afghanistan.
The last time a chimp lucked out this bigtime was when Bonzo got the role in "Bedtime For Reagan".
Posted by TIKI AL at December 6, 2007 04:29 PMYour original premise sites the official narrative of the 911 atocity. Note that there has been no public trial, no discovery, no presentation of evidence and no cross examination of government assertions.
So, according of our system of jurisprudence, there has been no finding of fact. What we do have is a contradictory and implausable official explanation repeated ad nauseum by the corporate news and government officials.
Logical actions do not follow from the official story, because the official story is a pile of crap. What actually happened and who is really responsible for the 911 atrocity is simply above all of our pay grades.
