    The Red Rascal could probably solve this in a flash … but will probably make a big drama deal out of it instead.

    War is like chess. Tell your opponent of your moves in advance. We will leave on such and such a date.

    Don’t you just hate it when your trusted allies won’t stay bought?

    A real No Win-No Win situation. Leave while you’re still alive and let history sort out the rest.

    You can’t “hire” Afghans – You can only “rent” them. Those people aren’t worth the sweat off my butt.

    Akbar is one of the “honest” Afghan tribal leaders fed up with Karzai’s CIA-backed corruption. See Dexter Filkins’ timely piece in the NYT exposing Obama’s policy dilemma:

    Wouldn’t it be something if the Red Rascal was to come to his rescue? I mean, the sheer irony of it all…

    By the way…Have we met Jeff’s replacement?

    Yeah right. The only good war is one that’s started on lies and paid for with off-the-budget funds.

    Yeah those WMD. Bush should have known they were used up gassing Kurds and Iranians. Tell the widows and orphans that was another Bush lie. Nope, no WMD

    Not only do I have to sign in to make a comment, I also have to sign in if I want to flag spam. Curses! I spent a goodly amount of time flagging them yesterday, and here they are again!

    I just stay signed-in; and also just flagged the spammer. Take the Boulder Pledge, NEVER do business with spammers.

    “Switched sides,” eh? Working for whoever will offer more (or threaten less) than your current boss?

    Sounds a lot like how we did business in America during that booming economy we had 15 or so years ago… shoot, it was an embarrassment to admit to working for one guy for over two years.

    (Sigh!) Looks like the Afghanis are not so different, after all!
