Pakistan slams 'ignorant' Obama attack warning - Yahoo! News

Whoops.

I've always said that Barack Obama and my governor Deval Patrick were of the same material, or lack thereof: they both say nice-nice things about hope or dreams or whatever, but when push comes to shove, they're both just a bunch of empty suits with no new ideas and a remarkable lack of the fundamentals.

Obama might send troops into Pakistan - Yahoo! News

Senator Obama, let me tell you about the Bomb. Pakistan has it. You don't want to piss off a country that has the Bomb and who would be willing to use it (hint, this is why Iran is looking to get one). So, when you try to burnish your tough-guy attitude by threatening to invade Pakistan or threatening to withdraw funds from a critical ally who is keeping Islamists in check, you might want to think twice. Remember, if you have to make enemies, you want to make them before they get the Bomb, not after.

Oh, and he also wants to remove troops from Iraq, who are battling al-Qaeda terrorists and their sympathizers, in order to move them into Afghanistan (and potentially Pakistan) in order to battle, you guessed it, al-Qaeda terrorists and their sympathizers.

Of course, if President Obama invaded Pakistan, there wouldn't be unintended consequences like inflaming more Islamists, would there? I mean, aren't they the guys that unhinged lefties want to pander to? Well, of course that won't happen, since he's Obamessiah! I'm sure the Islamists would understand.

It seems that President Bush had said the same thing. As it is, that would be very risky and foolish. Osama isn't worth it, and given his media silence, probably is dead.

Ellison returns from trip to Iraq - USATODAY.com

Wow, when the only Muslim lawmaker (and a Democrat, no less) returns from Iraq with a little optimistic news regarding the surge, you can believe that the nutroot beholden, lose-at-all-costs Democrats are worried.

GWB, Governor of Texas, toturer extraordinaire!

What the...?!?

Apparently, George Bush was involved in CIA terrorist policy in 1998!

The report criticises the Bush administration's approval of practices which would be illegal if carried out by British agents. It shows that in 1998, the year Bin Laden was indicted in the US, Britain insisted that the policy of treating prisoners humanely should include him. But the CIA never gave the assurances.

Thanks, Guardian, for that incredible news!
