While all the rest are into the Tiger Woods drama, Newsday prints what seems to be a relevant cover about the war
Although the article seems to be written by McChrystal’s PR department (“do what he asks” is the refrain)
One sane opinion is lamely and apologetically framed – from a family preparing to deploy one of them again:
“They should end the war and bring our people home. But I know the president can’t do it all at once. If he did, it would take him more than one term in office to bring them home slowly and surely. He’s basically picking up other people’s problems. It’s going to take a while for everything to be rectified.
But at least Newsday’s cover is one step up over this
which shall remain the standard in war propaganda.
And while on the topic, here’s an interesting fact B0bot Sirota uncovered
“President (Obama) is on track to spend more on defense, in real dollars, than any other president has in one term of office since World War II,” reports National Journal’s Government Executive magazine.
But, but…Hillary voted for the war!

Yep, and that sh*t isn’t going to stop any time soon. Hillary, “the hawk” is already being fingered as the evil-doer who’s pushing BO to escalate. If Barack goes down, they’re going to make damned sure that she goes down with him.

cj, I think the intention is that BO will never, ever, not in this lifetime go done. Hillary will – she’s the sacrificial lamb for the OBot machine.
Edge, while I appreciate all the tabloid fodder, can you photoshop out the pictures of MO? REason being, she sets my teeth on edge, and I end up grinding them in my sleep, and I’m not even American! When will that woman learn that there are styles for every woman, but not every style looks good on every woman. She is not Jackie O – not in this lifetime or the next. Enough with the bare arms and strapless styles. They just do not look professional (nor attractive).

That’s probably the intention, but I don’t think they can pull it off. Not this time. The Afghan War has Obama’s name on it, and no magic voodoo will ever change that fact.
I didn’t know this; there’s “LESS than a hundred al-Qaeda left in Afghanistan
So claims Michael Moore in a rather gushingly pathetic appeal to the One.

Amazing! I am sure this letter will make the war stop….
(although I see it’s earned some “unrecs from the B0bots)

Apparently, this humble begging from Moore is now billed as “disagreeing”

Oops, sorry, meant – will go “down”, not done. Mea culpa.
