It Is Not Possible For A Man To Be More Of A deck...

Unfortunately, that's the problem that occurs when you try to erase a 1500 year old struggle in a few years.

Sorry if it's taken as an anti-Muslim rant. It really wasn't meant to be. I'm just amazed at the amount of aid, both military and financial, that has been given these douches and in five years, they still can't field their own military capable of doing more than they are now. I know it's not an easy thing, but... billions of dollars... U.S. military shouldering the load... frigging FIVE years? And at best they have a glorified mall cop brigade? Geez.

Against the advice of people who knew better, we dismantled - but didn't disarm - their military and their police and sent them all home.

They're the ones we're fighting now.

We're fighting more Shiites than Sunnis right now. Now if we had taken care of al-Sadr four years ago when that chickenshirt fatass started becoming a problem who knows what would be going on. But at this point he's hiding out in Iran and forking shirt up as much as anyone else.

That's what happens when you play bull in a china shop with a region you don't know jackshirt about.

Feckless?
4000 dead.
Feckless?

His quote sounds spot on to me.

The guy who doesn't believe in global warming, but does believe that Obama is Marxist agrees with Kristol.

Shocking.

Kristol's a little lib for my taste but I agree with him on this one.

There may be global warming (oh wait, I'm supposed to call it climate change now so they've got both bases covered) but I don't understand destroying the world economy to try to solve something that 1) might not even be present and 2) might not even be able to be fixed.

How can anyone think Obama isn't a Marxist? He'd be offended that you think he isn't.

Udder ignorance; this post gets you permanently on my ignore list. Which, I am sure, you'll enjoy.
 
Speaking of mouthpieces for the administration ...

There is, unfortunately, nothing new about this. And in many cases, these ex-generals and admirals can have some good insight and commentary. But in this case, you have to question their overall objectivity.

There is no one who has been more consistently wrong than Kristol.
That should read "there is no one with whom I consistently disagree with than Kristol."

Differences don't equal wrong ... or being a "deck" as the ever-classy Fenian so adroitly posted ... no matter how much you guys want it to be so.
 
In what way has a single Kristol prediction over the last six years about the war in Iraq been correct?
