Barack Obama presented lovers of Endless War last night with their precious tens of thousands of extra troop deployments to Afghanistan, to help the military protect Afghanis from the Americans. He presented his plan to Congressional leaders immediately before last night’s speech, so as to shut them the fuck up for a few seconds, jesus. Among these leaders was America’s #1 war-lover John McCain, who of course whined and screamed about how this new plan wasn’t quite warry and deathy enough to sate his infinite bloodlust for murder, terror, destruction and horror across the face of the earth, forever, until the last starving brown/black baby in a poor nation wins its Freedom from an American bazooka to the skull.
Three GOP sources told CNN that Sen. John McCain used the meeting to directly challenge the president on his exit strategy.
The sources said that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell deferred to McCain, who questioned the concept of announcing now plans to begin withdrawing in July, 2011.
These sources said the president responded to McCain by promising that the withdrawal would be based on conditions on the ground.
Ha, “conditions on the ground.” The funny thing about basing future warfare plans on “conditions on the ground” is that those conditions are always really, really bad, after years of war.

I think Walnuts! wants a formal surrender, with OBL handing over his sword and all. I mean, the idea is to “win” isn’t it?
Wow. Couldn’t have said it better myself, Jim.
The crater’s never big enough for some people.
How many jets do I need to crash before I too am the Senate’s most respected voice on military endeavors?
i still can’t for the life of me, figure out why i’m supposed to care about walnuts’ opinion on anything at all.
But what does Meghan think?
He probably wants victory in Afghanistan to be just like he remembers victory in Vietnam.
His mind is obviously a little scrambled. Thanks for sharing Johnny.
[re=470265]dum librul[/re]: His clout is completely due to the guidance of his closest advisers. I understand that Daughter Meg is quite proficient with the bazookas.
Yeah, Obama should take advice from the people who cheerfully thought the Iraq plan was golden. Also the people who think we lost Vietnam because of the hippies. Shut up, fools — as the guy in the video said, you can’t have your country back. You wrecked it and we took away the keys.
when is john mccain gonna share where osama is…didnt he say that he knew how to get him and capture him during his campain for prez?
Obama’s way to nice to say stuff like this, but I hope at least he got in something like : “hmm….John, let me write down your concerns with my Presidential Pen” or “I’ll consider your thoughts while I fly to my speech on Air Force One” or even a “do you mind if we continue this conversation in my office…you know, the Oval Office…the thing you get to have as an office if you win an election in a landslide…”
[re=470265]dum librul[/re]: Five and a half jets, Alan! FIVE AND A HALF JETS!!1
[re=470274]SlouchingTowardsWasilla[/re]: Not too strangely, Meghan agrees with the man in her life:
“Hamid Karzai knows very well that if US troops leave he’ll be leaving shortly thereafter or find himself probably assassinated”

Forget about conditions on the ground—I’m looking forward to the day McCain’s in a position to report back on conditions under it.
[re=470278]PlanetWingnuta[/re]: Exactly. Walnuts said this a few times, on the teevee, to millions of Americans. Sure would be nice if he would just go ahead and say. Could save us a whole buncha trouble. Unless of course he was lying, in which case he should just fuck off and die.

Translation: when the meeting broke up, the GOPers all ran for the CNN cameras to tell the world how McCain had stood up to “That One” in this little set up encounter. Honest to God, what pieces of shit [spits].
[re=470265]dum librul[/re]:
Quantity is not as important as style. Super Bonus Points for wiping out a crowded flightdeck with full fuel and weapons.
[re=470277]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Oh, hey, but he’s gonna be on “Dancin’ Dave’s Calvacade of Russert Offal” on Sunday, so he obviously knows what he’s talking about.
In all seriousness, Secretaries Clinton and Gates will be on the show as well, though if Gregory follows his Broder rulebook as per usual, not at the same time as McCain. Though if they are, I sincerely fucking hope that he pushes Clinton bullshit meter so far into the red that she finally punches him in that goddamned propeller mangled manatee scrotum he calls a “neck/face”.
Gates can take care of Gregory.
Someday this war will be remembered (= forgotten) like the War of 1812, which we lost to the Nucks or whatever, and the Vietnam War, which we lost to the hippies and hubris.
Could Walnuts finally share his secret plan to use the Navy SEALs to capture bin Ladin?
Tell WALNUTS! not to worry about so far into the future. Srsly.
It’s pretty simple, though. He just wants victory and success in Afganistan, which is why we already pulled all of our troops out six years ago. What’s so difficult to understand about that, people?!
[re=470307]Servo[/re]: You had better be careful. I got a couple of idle death threats from a certain poster here for pointing that out. They also claimed that pointing out the biggest fuckup in the Navy was present during one of the biggest fuckups in the Navy somehow made me an antisemite.

It’s not just the crashing of jets. You also have to collaborate with the enemy.
I’m waiting for Sarah to tweet about the advice she gave to the administraion about this issue.
She was consulted, wasn’t she?
err, weren’t the NATO allies supposed to toss in 5000. I think the telethon is at 750(Britain+Slovakia or someplace). But then again with 100 adversaries victory is assured. President Obama’s Secret: Only 100 al Qaeda Now in Afghanistan
McCain is a point. Announcing when you’re going to withdraw two years in advance is, well, a seriously fucking dumb strategy.
[re=470453]jagorev[/re]: That is a valid point. If you are pretending that we pull out with no government in place, no structure in place, and basically do absolutely nothing other than bring troops there, play Yahtzee for a couple of years and leave.
In other words, it is not a valid point.
[re=470347]Advocatus_Diaboli[/re]: I am well aware of John’s work with the North Vietmanese and still wonder why we did not leave his ass there.
Magoo remember how stately he received the sword of surrender from Japan… after the Prozac kicks in.
Sarah.
Palin.
Stories like these remind me why Obama is President. He is very much a mature adult. If it was me in this situation, I don’t think I would be able to resist the urge to tell Jmac to go F*@#k himself with all of his “expert” “opinions”.
McCain questions Obama, and the president does what he does best: folds. If even he’s lying, he’s giving the man too much. God…
“The sources said that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell deferred to McCain, who questioned the concept of announcing now plans to begin withdrawing in July, 2011.
These sources said the president responded to McCain by promising that the withdrawal would be based on conditions on the ground.
Sources say that when questioned later by former Governor Sarah Palin — whom no one had any idea why she was invited to this meeting, or how she got in — about what she refered to as “bogusly low troop levels” Obama promised to add another 20,000. The governor then released the president’s balls from a box carved from a moose skull and handed them back to him. Obama was then asked to leave the meeting, and the Republicans than proceed to remake the rest of the nation’s national security and and foreign policy.”
