Official: Obama to Send Enough Troops to Keep Al Qaeda at Bay

President Obama is inclined to send only as many more U.S. troops to Afghanistan as are needed to keep Al Qaeda at bay, a senior administration official said. The official also added that the president is prepared to accept some Taliban involvement in Afghanistan's political future, reiterating what Obama said in March. The assessment comes from an official who has been involved in the president's discussions with his war council about Afghanistan strategy.
Sending enough troops to keep Al Qaida "at bay" is a recipe for a never-ending bloodbath. What utter fools the people were who voted for this empty-suited narcissistic Marxist windbag. This man isn't fit to tie the boot laces of the military personnel he is supposedly "leading". I never thought I'd see the USA become even more of a laughingstock than it was under Clinton.

Charles Rangel

The House ethics committee on Thursday expanded its investigation of Rep. Charles Rangel, to include his belated financial disclosure of hundreds of thousands of dollars in previously unreported assets and income. The expansion only increases the political burden that the Ways and Means Committee chairman from Harlem places on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who refuses to make him step down from his post.

So much for "The most ethical administration in history"

Hollywood, on Polanski and Letterman

These hollywood people are sick,perverted,and disgusting.
They are attempting to twist the laws to suit their demented live style.
I often wonder how these perverts would have acted if it was their thirteen year olddaughter that was raped years ago,they would be screaming from every state controlled t.v show and every state run media paper to hang that animal by the short and curlies, but since polanski is a pervert like them and it wasn't their daughter raped they are banning together to stand up for someone who
is a pervert,just goes to show you how low Hollywood has sunk in society.

The president fiddles,, while Afghanistan burns

In reading the papers this morning from all over the world, I was struck by how many headlines about various subjects contained these words "Obama weighs". Is the man ever decisive? Remember how angry we used to get at Clinton for dithering? Barack Obama makes a piker of Bill Clinton in this regard.

Come on, Barry, the "present" vote is getting a little tiresome. Either increase troop strength and take your lumps from your lefty, peacenik buddies or pull out completely and take your lumps from the entire world for being a cut 'n run coward. It's a simple decision. Even a caveman could make it.

Allowing good Americans to continue dying while you eat your arugula is unacceptable and you will pay a heavy price for your incompetence.

And they say Republicans are the Party of “No”

It is amusing how many people in my circle who delighted in the Democrats’ triumph last fall (and thus would not seem to have any interest in a Republican revival) have been telling me just what the GOP needs do to remain viable. And from what I’ve read on the web, they’re not alone. Other lefties lately smug in Obama’s triumph dispense reams of advice to the GOP.

They tell me the GOP can’t win if it remains the party of “No,” yet are at pains to remember what exactly the Democrats stood for in 2006 when they won congressional majorities. (And many of them can’t really identify what Obama stood for beyond Hope and Change. Oh, and yeah, and that he wasn’t George W. Bush.)

Obama and the School Speech

It is not talking to the students that is in question, it is the lessons that go along with his little talk. How can I help the Pres.? How many of you libbies would have liked Bush having such a lesson? The dem party sure has changed since JFK. Help the Pres. - make posters that have his slogans on them, pledge service to the Pres WOW has the party changed.

Keep them home and have your own lesson on the Constitution. Maybe our leader should read it again. He has forgotten 99% of it.

Roman Polanski

Pleading guilty to unlawful sex with an underage girl — the drugging, raping and sodomizing of a 13 year-old — isn’t stopping Hollywood from ginning up an indignation campaign over the possibility of fugitive director Roman Polanski being held accountable for his crimes. Yes, these are the values of those who control the most powerful propaganda device ever created. Which begs a question: If his unspeakable deed doesn’t meet the standard, what exactly would Roman Polanski have to do in order to become a pariah in this town. People often forget that. It makes Polanski’s defenders all the more grotesque: they are whining in favor of a man who is guilty in every meaningful sense - legally, officially and by his own admission - but who then refused to even submit himself for a sentence (which could easily have been lenient), much less serve a sentence. Whoopi Goldberg pathetically called “rape-rape” a couple days ago. But it often happens that the criminal pleads guilty to a lesser offense. So did Polanski. He pled guilty to statutory rape - even though he had, apparently, committed a full-on “rape-rape”. Having pled guilty before the Court and been duly convicted, it was his obligation to show up for sentencing and pay his debt to American society

Liar, Liar, Pants On Fire

Obama along with the MSM are spreading lies about the health care bill. These are bold face lies that he does not want the people to be aware of the rotten provisions in the house bill.
They're using smoke and mirrors on the abortion thing.They're saying federal funds won't be used for abortion but the funds will come out of the woman's premium.Huh? When you pay a premmium,you surrender the control over that money,so how could a woman direct her premium to pay for abortion? They also say that medicaid will offer a full range of family plannng for poor people,or a thinly disguised excuse for an abortion. Even a car salesman in the worst checkered jacket, short tie, white belt and shoes could not be this obvious in trying to empty your wallet and insult your intelligence by trying to unload a lemon on you. The great and articulate wizard is now fully exposed behind the curtain. The lop-eared Kenyan is not qualified to lead a column of ants and I don't care where he was born or to whom.

It's enough to make me want to puke!

While the president and his top aides are courting members through phone calls, cocktail parties, West Wing sit-downs and even a Town Hall party, liberal groups are dispensing with the niceties and seeking to drive a wedge between Republicans and one of the right’s most influential leaders, his numbers are falling like a house of cards. The Prof Gates issue, 66 percent of the American public now believe that their Taxes are going to go up, regardless of what Øbama says.. And yes the Health care issue is this going to be the last straw on the camels back? All these issues are getting the disapproval of the American public.
Yet the Liberal bloggers like Shaw and company seem to blame people like Rush Limbaugh for his decline.
This isn't about Rush Limbaugh, it's about what type of America you want. Do you want a government nanny state who offers up a titty to suckle upon when ever you need nurturing? Then side with Øbama and his socialist minions in the senate. If you don't want big government to rule your every step through life and rob you in the process then you better start speaking out, because if you don't these socialist Nazis are gonna completely destroy this country and turn it into the first undeveloped nation in the world.
I am with Rush because he only has the power to entertain us, whereas Øbama has the power to ruin us. And it looks like he is well on his way. But that is okay because the more damage he does, the easier it will be in the mid term elections to clean house, as the label of Democrat will be synonymous with failure, just as it always has been.
Rush did a few minutes on Gibbs claims that the Tea Parties and Town Hall Meetings are being run by and for the benefit of the great insurance companies.
I pay my premiums, but I wouldn't do anything for my health plan provider any more than they would do for me if I didn't pay them. But whenever the MSM even finds these demostrations newsworthy, you will notice there are no large groups of people wearing an orginization's T-shirts, no mass produced signs and no hysterical applause at any remarks no matter wether or not they are believable.
So who is staging their demonstrations? As common sense starts to awaken across the nation, the truth is becoming more self evident. The Right is for reality, the Left seems to be show biz. Like staging town-hall meetings with using shills like little girls and their rehearsed speeches.

I am always amazed and astonished how anxious Dems are to make themselves look moronic with all this we were "mislead", "deceived" & "fooled" by Bush while all along calling him a moron. My question is whose the bigger idiot, the moron who fooled them or the buffoons who were fooled? I say its the later. And now these Idiots are in charge of the asylum. Once again "Madam Senility" Nancy Pukelosiis claiming to be mislead and when push came to shove she actually calls the CIA "liars" as she eventually accused Bush of doing. I swear I don't know how she avoids getting struck by lightning! And even if she is exposed to be LYING, she is so old she can "pull" the memory loss card but I would hope there would be someone in the asylum that would realize she is UNFIT to run the joint if it was necessary. But I believe that's wishful thinking.
I fully expect her to suddenly be rushed to the hospital with an unknown illness, because you can't pick on someone that's "sick", and then they'll diagnose her with some kind of temporary dementia that affected her memory.

Those comments on left-wing blogs such as Shaw's not only make me sick but I'm sick of dealing with a bunch of full-grown screaming idiots that constantly show their hatred for America. .
They may love Socialism, but I don't...so say goodbye to your doctors and your healthcare plan. Say hello to Socialism.

Sweetheart, Do You Remember When.

Remember When...
Do you remember when George Bush was in the White House and the libs were pissed off because he wanted the ability to intercept the conversations of terrorists in foreign countries? So you think they're better than ol' George was? Well dash right out to www.cars.gov and see if your car qualifies as a clunker under the "cash for clunkers" program. If you are a democrat I dare you to!
Now we have an ememies list a snitch on your buddies list, and I can only wonder what Tomorrow will bring?

No We Are Not UnAmerican!

Liberals are eating, sleeping, breathing, and celebrating their so called Obamanation victory.
The reason for this is simple. Liberals cannot succeed on their own. They need to destroy conservatives. Every conservative must be labeled either evil, or a complete imbecile.
Liberals have control of the White House and Congress, and they can’t govern. Their health care plan is collapsing under the weight of intercine liberal fighting combined with a genuine populist uprising. Attempts to paint the protesters as lunatics is failing. We are not the unAmerica idiots they say we are.

It's time to wake up.

It is time to wake up people. the tea parties and the Town Hall meetings aren't enough. we must go further. at what point does civil unrest become the right thing? I think we're close to that point now - if not already there.
it's time to stop him/them. it's time to shut down the power grab. it's time to BRIDGE the gap that separates all freedom loving americans and restore our constitution. it's time to be responsible americans.
I leave you with another quote from orwell: "The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power. ... We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means, it is an end."

I sit here in my comfy chair and ponder the direction my country is headed. I can not decide if it is Stalinist socialism or Hitler's Nation Socialist hell that we are careening towards. Either way I do not like it. We are being led by our noses by our president and his gang of thugs in both houses of congress and their water carriers in Hollywierd and the drive-by media. Our so-called leaders are masters of the spin game and agitprop, and are using these skills to remake our country into a new Workers' Paradise. Let me put it in no uncertain terms: I DO NOT WANT IT!!!During the election I was deeply concerned with what a leftist victory would mean to this country. After the election, I did not like the one that my fellow citizens had chosen to lead us., but decided to give Dear Leader a chance. I considered myself part of the loyal opposition, and as such, would support my president but keep a close eye on what he and his band of merry men were doing. I was saddened when I later found all my worse fears, the ones I never mentioned, coming true.There are those who doubted that Dear Leader was born in America, and at first I doubted. I thought it the height of craziness that this man had not been vetted. My father, as stolid and un-excitable, in regards to politics, a man as ever lived. I told him that being a smarmy bastard didn't not make him born elsewhere. I offer as proof the legions of smarmy bastards that are beyond a doubt born here. Yes they are among us, and the vote Democrat. Now we are nearing the eighth month of his rein, and all we have seen as proof of citizenship is a document that is missing characteristics that would make it legal, and redacted information. The administration has spent huge sums of money, on the close order of a million dollars, to suppress records, including the birth certificate, from coming to light. This started to concern me.Over lunch one day, I suggested to him that what we needed was a soldier to refuse orders based on The Chosen One's ineligibility to issue them. To be honest, he scoffed at the notion, and heaped derision upon it. .The only other reason to hide his personal documents, is to hide something embarrassing. Besides where he was born, I can not imagine what The Chosen One might wish to hide on his birth certificate, or what other documentation he is suppressing. I am not sure where the president was born. I am skeptical of those who claim he was born in Kenya, but I am equally skeptical of someone who goes to such great lengths to suppress the truth, no matter what that truth is. As I said, the neo-libs are masters of spin and propaganda. It is the first instinct of these cowards to lie, like a reflex. When their people show up to a town hall they are righteously indignant conscientious grass-roots objectors. When conservatives show up they are AstroTurf, Brownshirts and puppets of military-industrial complex. This is a LIE! These are angry people who are fed up with the left, and their communist political agenda. We do not want CommieCare. We want REAL health care reform. We want tort reform, an end to government mandates and we want CHOICE. We do not want the left's lies and platitudes.I have news for you leftists, unless the protesters are paid to be there, it is grass roots. Your side buses people in to protest everything from election results, to the cutting down of trees. When an organization gathers its followers to attend a protest, the one who got them together is a community organizer. When the right does the same, it is fake and a conspiracy. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND DEATH TO HER ENEMIES!

Hurry Up And Wait

back in january - in fact barely two days after his inaugration as president of the united states of america - bho signed an executive order requiring that the guantanamo bay facility be closed within 12 months. at the time of his signing the order, the president said he was issuing the order to close the facility in order to "restore the standards of due process and the core constitutional values that have made this country great even in the midst of war, even in dealing with terrorism."
and all the world rejoiced.
um, yeah, not so much.
you see, obama and the other leftists around the world did not take into consideration that no one wants the detainees from gitmo. not here in the united states and certainly not in europe.
initially, obamah's decision to close the gitmo facility received a speedy backing from obama's presidential election opponent, john mccain (clueless arizona) when he made a joint statement with senator lindsey graham (rino, sc) saying they supported obama's move to "reaffirm America's adherence to the Geneva Conventions, and begin a process that will, we hope, lead to the resolution of all cases of Guantanamo detainees."
then "larry king live," john-boy said he thought that perhaps the new president may have been a tad bit hasty in his decision to close gitmo. that maybe he should have taken a little more time to consider everything associated with closing the camp before laying out a timetable for adherence.
specifically, mclame said he thought bho needed to consider what would need to be done with enemy combatants held at G=guantanamo before ordering the facility to be closed. saying, "So, the easy part, in all due respect, is to say we're going to close Guantanamo," McCain said. "Then I think I would have said where they were going to be taken. Because you're going to run into a NIMBY [not in my backyard] problem here in the United States of America."
ya think? so johnny supported obama's closing of the gitmo facility before he warned him against the closing of the facility. all seems a little too much like the dems after the start of the iraq war, doesn't it?
so, now, fast forward five months and today - this evening, really - obama's white house has drafted an order that would "reassert presidential authority to incarcerate terrorism suspects indefinitely, according to three senior government officials with knowledge of White House deliberations."
according to dafna linzer and peter finn of the washington post, the order was drafted because of fears of a battle-royal with congress that would stall plans to close gitmo.
so let me get this straight. it was so important to close the guantanamo bay facility that it couldn't even wait two full days after the one's coronation, but it's not important enough that he's willing to fight congress on it? hmmm, i smell a rat (well actually more than one, but we'll reserve the others for another day).
his advisors appear to be worried that embracing another legacy of gwb's will put him on weaker footing with the courts and key supporters. uh-huh. of the two groups, whom do you think the advisors are more concerned about. yep, me too.
from the wapo article:
White House spokesman Ben LaBolt said that there is no executive order and that the administration has not decided whether to issue one. But one administration official suggested that the White House is already trying to build support for an order.
"Civil liberties groups have encouraged the administration, that if a prolonged detention system were to be sought, to do it through executive order," the official said. Such an order could be rescinded and would not block later efforts to write legislation, but civil liberties groups generally oppose long-term detention, arguing that detainees should be prosecuted or released.
why does anyone care what civil liberties groups think about long-term detention? if they feel so strongly about this, why don't they invite them to live in their homes?
in reality, the people who have been to gitmo all seem agree that life at guantanamo is pretty good. in fact, the patriot post digest from today had this to say about the whole thing:
The Guantanamo detainee merry-go-round continues to turn and churn. On the detainee transfer front, the European Union, a harsh critic of detainee treatment, allegedly made its most explicit promise to date on accepting some Gitmo detainees... well, kind of, maybe. In a rather foggy, diplo-speak statement, the EU pledged to cooperate with the U.S. on legal strategies that will "help the U.S. turn the page" on past detention policies. Naturally, the statement did not specify how many detainees would be sent to Europe or which countries would accept them, although apparently Italy has agreed to accept three detainees. So much for the "explicit" promise.
Speaking of transferred detainees, the four Chinese Muslim Uighurs released from Gitmo and sent to Bermuda last week were found by the swimming pool outside of their pink bungalow. Questioned by a Fox News reporter, the well-tanned detainees said that living in China is worse than life at Guantanamo, saying there is no guarantee of human rights in China. We're shocked -- shocked -- to find that this is the case.
