“Earlier tonight President Obama gave his speech about Afghanistan. He’s starting a new phase in the military campaign called operation reelection.” –Jay Leno

“Defense Secretary Robert Gates says that Al Qaeda’s new leader will be hunted down and killed just like bin Laden. They think he may be in Pakistan. They know that because Pakistan says they have no idea where he is.” –Jay Leno

“Officials still can’t say what happened to $6.6 billion that was sent to Iraq for reconstruction. That’s money we could have wasted and mismanaged right here at home.” –Jay Leno

Obama promises US “bugging out” amidst increasing violence

On the heels of Obama’s version of a “Mission Accomplished speech” just three days ago, apparently some militants in Afghanistan are registering their thumbs up by executing twin suicide bombings in the following days. On Friday, ten people were killed, 24 wounded, by a bicycle bomb detonated in a busy bazaar in Khad Abad district of the northern province of Kunduz. 24 hours later, a car bombing at a hospital in Logar province, just south of Kabul, killed 60, wounded 120. The hospital attack has been called “unprecedented” in the history of the near-decade-long Afghan war by officials.

President Karzai, criticizing Obama’s politically expedient announcement of the US “bug out”, issued a statement stating that that militancy was on the rise in both his country and the Middle East region.

Michelle Praises And Thanks The State Directed Media, How Difficult Is A Law Degree?

First Lady Michelle Obama (watch the video a the link) once again creates a dubious aura around the question of her intelligence during an interview with CNN, when she was thrown the typical softball question meant to tug at the heart strings of America and ends up looking like a fool.

Will the new CIA-Director-to-be revive an EIT program?

The role of the CIA is different from that of the military. It is different from that of the FBI. It only stands to reason that interrogation practices should be shaped to serve their respective needs.

During Senate confirmation hearings for Petraeus, Mark Udall, Democratic Senator for Colorado, broached the subject of interrogations:

In the vast majority of cases, Petraeus said, the “humane” questioning standards mandated by the U.S. Army Field Manual are sufficient to persuade detainees to talk. But though he did not use the word torture, Petraeus said “there should be discussion … by policymakers and by Congress” about something “more than the normal techniques.”

Could this be a resuscitation of “Enhanced Interrogation Techniques” and will it happen under Obama’s watch?

Amnesty is here [Reader Post]

Seeking to import as many voters as possible, Barack Obama has put the brakes on border control:

President Barack Obama’s administration is quietly offering a quasi-amnesty for hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, while aiming to win reelection by mobilizing a wave of new Hispanic voters, say supporters of stronger immigration law enforcement.

Here’s to the Losers [Reader Post]

I recently attended a lunch lecture called “Leadership Lessons Learned at West Point.” The retired officer who spoke gave a good speech, if not the most original. He even admitted at he very start there there would probably not be any new material that everyone in the room hadn’t heard before. But he had some good anecdotes and lessons, and one point that stuck with me. He talked a bit about losing, and the importance of it. Continue reading

Leftist Hypocrisy; Hillary Clinton to War Critics – “Whose side are you on?”

The hypocrisy of the left continues to blow my mind. Recall just a few years ago the utter outrage directed at President Bush when he said:

“Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.”
