And I do recall that Joe McCarthy wrote letters demanding medals for Joe McCarthy and, managed to write a book denouncing a General who earned more than a few.
"If Marshall were merely stupid, the laws of probability would dictate that part of his decisions would serve this country's interest."[33]
That really had nothing to do with anything, but I wanted to throw it in.
But I was trained to parse a sentence or two and when Obama says
“Taken together, these additional American and international troops will allow us to accelerate handing over responsibility to Afghan forces, and allow us to begin the transfer of our forces out of Afghanistan in July of 2011,” Mr. Obama will tell the American people, according to the excerpts released by the White House.
“Just as we have done in Iraq, we will execute this transition responsibly, taking into account conditions on the ground,” the president says. “We will continue to advise and assist Afghanistan’s Security Forces to ensure that they can succeed over the long haul
I don't read that as a promise to leave in July 2011.
BTW, I'm not sure that the additional 30,000 have finished arriving.
@ Rex Caruthers:
No, Rex, we're not tied to creating a wonderful government or a democratic one. we need do no more than set up one that the people prefer to Taliban governance, prevent the use of territory for training transnational terrorist camps and havens, and press the nations in the area that harboring transnational terror organizations will ill-serve their interests.
Iran is not Somalia, and nobody has been executed in Iran for watching a soccer game.

Nevertheless, Iran and Somalia are part of the same continuum that executes people for unacceptable reasons and in unacceptable ways

there's a link in there to asharq alawsat's reaction to the Somalia story.
Seeing as they have discovered Hezbollah cells, just across the Mexican border, along with those in the Triple Frontier, it’s not really an idle threat
once again, narc, "it exists" does not necessarily amount to "it's important"
any and every nasty thing can be found in South and Central America and wends it's way upward, if it can.
for as long as there has been a US, there have been reports of threats coming from Mexico.
for as I can see, there aren't any greater threats these days but there's a whole lot less Mexico.
Iran needs nuclear weaponry to counter the threat from North Korea, which is secretly run by Zionist stooges, who first infiltrated the country using blond Mossad honeytrapping shiksa impersonators pouring Johnnie Walker Blue into President Kim until the Dear Leader's liver kurdled and his brain dried up.
Now they're everywhere and Seoul is awash in gefilte fish and out to blow the caviar out of Qum.

@ narciso:
Not only a Communist, narc, he was also a lawyer.
@ Sully:
he probably found it on one of those wads of bar napkins that he liked to say were lists of Soviet agents employed in DC hotel lounges.

I would think you to also look back fondly... and jangly.

We're not going to be exiting the area in July 2011. We're gonna be there a while past then.
short-term cost, Rex, very short.

@ narciso:
I do declare the constitution wasn't till after '76, but the rights of parentage may be elsewhen found.
@ narciso:
have you noticed that all the biased people disagree with you
and therefore anything that they say need never be considered

If Ahmadinejad is still running Iranian intelligence, no chance is too large to take!
