It is uncanny how often that is the fact. I think it stems from their deep hypocrisy as posing as freedom loving when they are in fact fascists.<br /><br />TreyTMinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07221261635305430323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-36605688302369435682009-10-31T09:05:17.307-05:002009-10-31T09:05:17.307-05:00Brian wrote: "Obama is stuck with Bush's ...Brian wrote: "Obama is stuck with Bush's quagmire"<br /><br />Wait just a cotton pickin minute.

He gets a thumb's-up for showing up. That's what Presidents do.<br /><br />He then gets a thumb's-down for dragging the Press Corps along, and then going through the obviously-rehearsed and exquisitely-staged, march-and-salute routine. This was in extremely poor taste.<br /><br />Show up and pay your respects, certaily, but then show some class and receede into the background.Matthew Notohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08881509233809999186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-44298878318260397352009-10-31T07:46:56.661-05:002009-10-31T07:46:56.661-05:00Meh.

They're just the official organ of the Democrat Party.<br /><br />We can safely ignore everything they do. When Republicans get back into power, they should remove all NY Times reporters' press passes.<br /><br />Oh, they'll whine and complain and write stories about how the Gestapo is now in charge.<br /><br />But that will only last a week or so before it will get boring to everyone - including their own readers.<br /><br />So Republicans ... when you get into power, remember the precedent set by Barack Obama: Any news organization such as the NY Times that toes the Democrat Party line can be excluded from your press conferences and reporter pools.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-54863278531437290402009-10-31T07:43:58.229-05:002009-10-31T07:43:58.229-05:00"If he goes, he is damned.

He's putting on a show to prove that he's making a carefully calibrated and solemn decision. Meanwhile the casualties mount, making it easier to announce that he's bringing them all home. <br /><br />He probably thinks this will score some points for sincerity with Putin and the Mullahs. <br /><br />I hope I'm wrong, but I can't believe that a disciple of Saul Alinsky, or someone whose concept of smart diplomacy is doing everything The U.N. Way, has any respect for the military or national defense. I mean this is the twenty-first century!ASThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14591247136037620408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-40350216371251990222009-10-30T23:58:49.693-05:002009-10-30T23:58:49.693-05:00What you said makes good sense, Tyrone.

He is the one who, in the end, ordered the fallen into harm's way. The issue is not that he went, but how it was handled.
