Every where I turn yesterday the replacement of McCrystal with Petraeus was hailed as "brilliant"! As if there was a lot of mental power put into this....it was his biggest no-brainer!! What "real" thinking needed to happen here? I got Peyton Manning and Tom Brady on the same team. Manning goes down! Oooooh...what ums gon' do??? This is so hard to figger out! (Sarcasm dripping)
YOU PUT IN JOE BRANEGAN!!!




Remember this??

Thanks for putting on the words of these two clowns during the Bush administration so all of us can compare them to those being uttered by the clowns today. Earlier this morning I posted a link that mentioned the fact that Obama is now going to the very man he and Hillary, Biden and others talked so seriously against to save him. Using Bush's heroes and his methods of winning in Iraq is more of Obama using what Bush did with success.

I love to hear the MSM and the other supporters of Obama talking just the opposite of the way they did when they were trying to keep Petraeus from winning "for Bush". Do you remember the Democrat Seantors' sign about General Betrayus and the words of our esteemed Secratary of State about how he had betrayed us? I loved them with their feet in their mouths then just as I do now.

Considering that Petraeus wasn't on anyone's short list and as CIC of CENTCOM it may not have been brilliant but it was definitely a surprise.

When you are a war hero, you don't need to be on a short list! You are still on everyone's mind!

Well............we do have threats from foreign Muslim factions. And the threats are rising. Read the news lately?


YouTube - Times Square bomber indicted.

New York terror attack was 'part of the answer to the US terrorising the Muslim nations', he told US court
“One has to understand where I’m coming from,” he told Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum in U.S. District Court in Manhattan. “I consider myself ... a Muslim soldier.” And he added this: Until U.S. forces leave Muslim territory, “we will be attacking U.S.”

If I were a liberal, I wouldn't be seen anywhere near this thread lest you be cast into the Lion's Den of Hypocrisy and the whole of your credibility gnashed by the teeth of scorn.

So then despite nearly 10 years of war in Afghanistan, 7 in Iraq, trillions of dollars spent, thousands of dead US soldiers, tens of thousands wounded, and hundreds of thousands of civilians killed, wounded and displaced, the threat of terrorism is rising in the US?

So then can we conclude that the strategy of "fight them over there so we don't have to fight them here" is total bunk?
