The laughable notion that General Stanley McChrystal is an aspiring Douglas McArthur is fully exposed if one will only take time to read what McChrystal actually wrote and recommended with respect to the road ahead in Afghanistan.
If you start with p. i (the preamble) you will see that this assessment was produced in response to [...]

Looks like Barack Obama and his allies on the Hill who are attacking the integrity of General Stanley McChrystal are illiterate. How else to explain their ignorant statements that are so at odds with what General Mcchrystal actually wrote and recommended.
So here’s your homework. Read the General’s assessment of Afghanistan and his recommendations.

Stan McChrystal, the General now in charge of our military mission in Afghanistan, is a good man getting fucked by Washington politics. The good news is that he could care less about the politics. He is all about the mission. I am not a personal friend of the General but I have [...]

Okay boys and girls. Time to choose a song that best expresses Obama’s view of himself. The nominees are:

Looks like the worm has turned thanks to the International Olympic Committee’s humiliation of the Barack and Michelle Chicago Olympic Show in Copenhagen on Friday inspired the crew at Saturday Night Live to pile on. SNL coins a new term–Barack “Jack Squat” Obama:
Too bad SNL left off the much ballyhooed stimulus package, which was [...]

How weak are you when you go to little old Copenhagen and get bitched slapped by the Olympic Committee? How weak are you when the French are lecturing you on being too soft on Iran? Weak as Rooster soup. But this is more than just getting cuffed around on the Olympics or [...]

If you believe all of the “green shoots” nonsense about a turn-around in the economy then you better think again. Let me share a couple of anecdotes that I have firsthand. Item 1, Florida real estate, condos to be precise.
I have a friend who is trying to buy a condo. He has [...]

I am puzzled by the apparent hype surrounding the arrest and arraignment of the alleged Afghan terrorist, Najibullah Zazi. I would like you to read this story for starters:
An Afghan immigrant was on the verge of unleashing a terrorist attack on New York City on the anniversary of the September 11 attacks but was [...]

One of the unfortunate myths generated during the Bush Administration is this bullshit notion of a “pre-911″ mentality. The first part of the argument by the pre-911ers is that the U.S. Government treated terrorism only as a criminal matter and not as a military threat. The second part is that George Bush “took [...]

I will beat this dead horse until we get a ton of glue. Barack Obama waffling on Afghanistan has now crossed a line that puts our nation at risk. His word means nothing. Here is what [...]

Barack Obama is in major trouble and it ain’t on the health care front. His Presidency is in peril over Afghanistan. Talk about tossing a turd in the the punchbowl. The leak to Bobby Woodward over the weekend of General McChrystal’s report outlining the need for at least 40,000 more troops on [...]

Yes. Short answer. The leak to the Washington Post of the assessment by General McChrystal, the officer in charge of the war in Afghanistan, is quintessential Washington power politics and a major “go screw yourself Barack” by the person or persons who passed the paper to Bob Woodward. You do not get [...]

Barack Obama is our first Jewish President. How do I know? He’s the master of Chutzpah. Check out what he said on “This Week With George Stephanopolous when asked about ACORN:

Just click here for the link. Minor update. I clarified that I spoke with Sunday Alabi on July 24, 2008, which was three weeks prior to the release of the story about CSI getting the money from Barack’s campaign. Rather than move the article I will leave it in place since several [...]
