Karzai Rots. Fred Thompson addressed his radio audience (above) with a concise and entirely accurate measure of the Obama administration’s incompetence with regard Afghanistan. POTUS has stalled and manipulated the McChrystal request for additional resources, and this peculiar commander-in-chief conduct has exasperated the public and puzzled the politicians. Why did POTUS call Afghanistant a...

Ace makes a good point in distinguishing this from Reid's infamous declaration that the war was lost in Iraq: Dingy Harry was aiming at withdrawal, which would have assured the outcome he had in mind, while Fred's trying to pressure Obama into committing to the war and proving him wrong. ...

Why has Fred Thompson lost faith in our troops in the field? Former Sen. Fred Thompson today intensified his party’s criticism of President Obama’s long deliberation over policy in Afghanistan, announcing that Obama’s delay signals that “the war has been lost” and that nothing the president now does will “make any difference.” I wonder if the Anchor [...]

The Reid Doctrine™: The bold declaration of pre-emptive surrender made by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in April 2007. It was quickly echoed by both Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Joe Biden, as well as Barack Obama, John Kerry (who served in Viet Nam), and a host of other [...]

I'm totally against the Afghanistan war, as C&Lers know, and it was lost as soon as Bush and Cheney decided to attack Iraq. Any chance to stabilize that region was lost immediately thereafter. The world had rallied around Afghanistan in such a way that that country could have been reconstructed and repaired by now. So President Obama finds himself in a bad situation caused by conservative beliefs...

Ouch. The trouble with this sort of statement -- even though I agree with it -- is that it's hard for even a hack like me to explain why this statement is unobjectionable while Dingy Harry's "The war is lost"...

AUDIO ONLY- Exactly how long have we been in Afghanistan? Maybe Thompson should realize the delay that has truly crippled our efforts [...]

The New York Daily News suggested Thursday that, according to one source, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani might use a run for Senate--if he wins--as a launching pad for taking another stab at the White House in 2012. Giuliani's 2008 presidential campaign went down in flames, more or less, but he remains a nationally recognized figure with a respectable support base. So, in light of this speculation,...

By Conn Carroll On his radio show yesterday, former Sen. Fred Thompson upped his criticism of President Barack Obama’s handling of the war in Afghanistan, predicting: It really doesn’t matter how President Obama divides the Afghan baby, how he splits the difference between McChrystal and Biden. Because the war has been lost. I say this because of [...]

Taking a page from southern apologists for slavery and Jim Crow, the conservative movement has succeeded in creating a " lost cause " and betrayal narrative for its electoral losses in 2008. Public Policy Polling has found that a majority of Republicans (52%) believe ACORN stole the election for Barack Obama -- a monumental achievement that must have required 9.5 million fake voters . The...

To succeed in Afghanistan, we must fail Oh, please. Not another asshat! I like Pat DOllard's postiing on this one (love their titles): Left-Logic: Afghanistan Is No Longer Our Problem . "Left-logic"? Is there such a thing? Now, if this idiot had researched what Fred Thompson said today, or yesterday, it woud have made sense. The problem with Afghanistan is The One and his inability to make...
