Obama is smart enough to know you should not announce intent to retreat in advance, so I conclude that for political reasons, he aims to lose in Afghanistan, and aims to justify the defeat with a disturbingly large level of American casualties rather than leaving immediately. The great wrong is staying there without intent to win.

There is no Republican party
If the republican party existed, it would be going after Van Jones’ scalp and the Obama
health plan, rather than Glen Beck and Sarah Palin going after them. The leadership of the Republican party, like the movement for Obama’s health plan, is itself merely astroturf manufactured in Washington.
Murderer of Mary Jo Mary Jo Kopechne dies
After influencing and writing a vast amount of legislation, all of it as evil and repugnant as himself, Edward Kennedy died forty years after disposing of an inconvenient mistress. By accident or design, Kennedy’s car wound up upside down in the water, with Kennedy not in it, and his girlfriend in it. It retained an air bubble for a substantial period, which means that his girlfriend was alive for a substantial period. Kennedy then proceeded to construct an alibi, to …
The Amazing Brilliance of Sarah Palin
Palin described “America’s Affordable Health Choices Act” as death panels. The Cathedral, (meaning the MSM, the politicians, the professoriat, senior public servants, and assorted people employed in the upper reaches of the ever more numerous quasi governmental organizations) react with apocalyptic outrage – thereby drawing the public’s attention to various parts of the act that are, indeed, death panels. Sarah Palin smiles sweetly and lets them hammer themselves to pulp. After uncontrollably inflicting massive damage on themselves, they delete most …
Purple shirts:
Hotair thinks this will rebound against the Obama, but history tells us otherwise. People love the strong horse, and despise the weak horse, and beating people up looks very much like strength if you can get away with it.
The nomenclatura
each benevolent intervention either by its nature does not effect people like the beloved leaders themselves , or, as with the health plan, people like the beloved leaders are specifically exempted from this kindly help.
“We may be seeing the beginning of the end of the recessionâ€
My prediction is for high unemployment, high inflation, or both.
One more crazy murderous totalitarian pal of Obama’s
I conjecture that Obama, and Obama’s science czar, is enabled by people like Larry Summers, who can find no end of rationalizations along the lines that Reverend Wright and John Holdren are moderate reformers who want reasonable and moderate changes in our lifestyles, not withstanding the fact that these guys are screaming their heads off that they are fanatics who want to totally smash our way of life. Coalition building is a lot easier if you maintain total delusion about your allies.
The “stimulus†is far too large and far too small.
Republicans are getting traction by condemning the “stimulusâ€, as an outlandishly extravagant porkfest, as miserly and inadequate, and as a disaster that should not be repeated – an attack made all the more effective by the many radical Democrats who complain the porkfest was inadequate, and call for a bigger and better porkfest: “Stimulus II†Obama’s approval ratings, though still high, are plummeting fast under this withering criticism. In Japan, they are now on stimulus umpteen, the Japanese economy is …
We are all terrorists now
The liberty papers found an interesting Obama document. It seems that it is not those poor misunderstood adherents of the Religion of Peace that are a problem. It is any American who disagrees with the Obama agenda. Michael Malkin confirms the document is real, not a parody. Veterans are also terrorists, no doubt it comes of persecuting those poor adherents of the Religion of Peace.
