You have to wonder why were still in Iraq two years after the democrats seized congress on the promise of "shutting down this war" and after they brought in General "Betray Us" for their show trial.
You have to wonder why these chickenhawks 0bama, Biden, Emanuel, and Axelrod are also expanding the war into Pakistan while pushing deeper into Afghanistan.
And, of course, it appears that the clowns from Not In Our Name and International ANSWER have disappeared up their own a--holes.

You asked particularly about NION which disbanded a little less than a year ago. How could you not have known that unless you didn't really care about the information?
You also asked about ANSWER. of course, Matilda, who probably did the quick search was probably to embarrassed for you to actually tell you that ANSWER is sponsoring a protest on March 21.
A quick search with google would have informed you. Don't you ever tire of being wrong?

You really have no basis on which to judge others. You were the one promoting a group of people who were threatening to hang people for political speech.
You were the one who claimed these same people were defending monuments from being defaced.
And, at the same time you posted photos of children defacing monuments.
You also refused to disavow the political violence called for by this group.
On the other hand, on this thread you made remarks about burning Bush in effigy, though, of course, you cannot document it among the group you accused.
My suggestion is that you pull the forest out of your own eye before you cast your gaze at others.

You first, John.
If I may, I notice two things about you John. One, you ALWAYS NEED TO BE RIGHT and mercilessly browbeat people until you are satisfied that they admit they are wrong. Even if no one is really wrong.
Second, you haven't seemed to evolve beyond a pool of political rhetoric. Although this is a political discussion board, you reduce yourself to not being "human" I guess is the imperfect way of describing it. Most here are able to move beyond their sets of beliefs and talk...shoot, even Dagon can put politics aside for a bit. Or maybe it's accurate to say you've portrayed yourself as a bundle of beliefs, rather then a person.
These two combined are why people see you as a parody of yourself. Loosen up a bit and maybe portray yourself as the imperfect human that the rest of us are? And I am not directing this at the topic at hand in this board, it is just in general to you John.

i do not need to be right, i usually happen to be right. There is a big difference.
Your reflections about me mean less than nothing to me.
Let me offer a response to your surmise: why not return to the threads in which i responded to you and actually engage in a political discussion. You have open questions there.
With regard to this thread, do you have anything to add?

Indeed there is a big difference, Cham. . .
John, there was nothing "right" about that time you came in on Sunday and tried to tattle on something Cham said in Chat. It was such a horrific example of your spoiled bratness and you were caught so flaatfooted that you -- after a mere two or three lame defenses -- never tried it again. Good for you. For once you knew when to quit without trying to browbeat the whole Board into thinking you weren't really the butt-hole we know you to be.
The same with Michelle Malkin's picture. You imported a disgusting image to express your feelings about Malkin's politics which you accused her of "puking forth." Then, in explaining how the image was NOT photoshopped which would have explained how you found one so unrealistic, you described how up to 120 frames per second are advanced one by one till the most distorted one could be found. And that one you used.
Then you come in here trying to claim that the picture located by that process was an "actual picture." These kinds of low-class, egg-throwing exercises are the sorts of things that make your occasional turn at being "right" even less than the accidental occurrence that it might be.
So Cham is 100 percent correct when he says you "need" to be right. YOU will go further than all of the other Headbutters together to be right and you will do so along the lines exampled above and drawn from your filthy past efforts. So let me once again congratulate Cham on his insights and marvel at how dipsticks like you never seem to learn.
Your reflections about me mean less than nothing to me. [Further quote from JohnHP]
Of course they are more than "nothing" to him, Cham. Tell you what, go back to the beginning of Headbutters Continued Archives. There you will see John delighted that he can tell the world that I used to post under a different name than the one I now use. It would be in the first few days of the Malone Board and probably the word "overly" will bring up the post I am thinking of. In any case, I have quoted it several times here and it will be available somewhere.
Thinking that he made the rules on this Board, John told Malone that he would never refer to me by any other name than my old one from WLS, and that he used to be overly nice and generous to people on the old WLS Board and now he would no longer be that.
John's idea of "overly nice and generous" was to call poor Ronald Reagan a Thug -- when Reagan was in the lost-cause stage of Alzheimers disease. I don't want to spoil your fun with a premature disclosure, Cham, so go read our archives on this board. You'll see how John flat out described the pains he felt from defeats I had inflicted on him four years before. (Matilda's Board was already four years old and Malone's a few weeks old, so do the math and see how far he had to go to be sure everybody knew what he was getting even for.) The funniest one was when he claimed not to be "bitter." The bile was leaking from every cyber pore.
And here he is again, admitting the same kinds of defeats YOU nailed him with before you joined the service. Keep up the good work now that you're back. You might feel rusty or out of step with so many posts between then and now, but you're totally on top of your game.

You could take all your old bullsh*t and stuff it, john - that's all been discredited long ago. But it is good to see that American Idiot Bill Ayers is sticking with the program.

President Obama plans to send another 4,000 troops to Afghanistan along with hundreds of civilian specialists in an effort to confront what he considers "the central challenge facing [that] country," senior administration officials said Thursday.
The president also will call on Congress to pass a bill that triples U.S. aid to Pakistan to $1.5 billion a year over five years, the officials said.
Obama is expected to announce new strategies for both countries Friday.
The troops, which are in addition to the 17,000 the president announced earlier would be sent to Afghanistan, will be charged with training and building the Afghan army and police force. The plans include doubling the army's ranks to 135,000 and the police force to 80,000 by 2011, the officials said.
So whatever became of the democrats promise to "shut down this war" as they've been saying since the '06 campaign?? Do all of the peaceniks realized they've been sucked in or have they gone brain-dead???

Speaking of the 60s, here's a great number written by Eugene McDaniels and performed by Les McCann and Eddie Harris >>> Compared to What
Admittedly, I'm generally not a big fan of fusion music and this is twenty years after their brilliant Montreaux performance and these suckers have grown a bit fat but it still cooks!!!
And these lines still pretty much apply to Barry's newfound love of empire:
"The president, he's got his war;
Folks don't know just what it's for.
Nobody gives us rhyme or reason,
Have one doubt they call it treason."

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday the surge in U.S. and allied deaths in Afghanistan this month is "regrettable and tragic," and that the Obama administration believes it has no choice but to continue the fight.
Four more Americans were killed in Afghanistan on Monday, making July the deadliest month for U.S. troops since the war began in October 2001.
At a news conference after consulting with Indian officials on a range of topics, Clinton was asked about the rising death toll and whether she takes responsibility for a failure to persuade allies and coalition partners to give the war effort more support.
"It is deeply regrettable and tragic that we have had the loss of life by our Marines and soldiers in the last weeks as they have aggressively pursued the Taliban in southern Afghanistan, and we are very concerned about the kidnapping of our American soldier," she replied, referring to Pfc. Bowe R. Bergdahl, 23. A day after he was seen in a Taliban video posted online, the Pentagon said Sunday that he had been captured.
Clinton said the U.S. government is doing all it can to obtain his safe release.
"But I think it's unfair to link the tragic loss of Americans in the battle against the Taliban and their associated terrorist allies with a failure by our allies," she said, noting that Britain has suffered a large number of casualties in recent weeks in Afghanistan.
"Other of our allies are engaged in combat, not only in the south but holding the line in the north, and I think that the commitment" by international allies "to support this offensive against the Taliban is commendable. Now we are bearing the brunt of the battle because we put more troops into it. But we are very grateful for the contributions and the sacrifice of so many who have come to the aid of Afghanistan." She said that includes Afghan security forces who also have taken heavy losses.
"This is a very difficult battle but it is one that we feel must be waged, and we have a strategy that the president has approved, and we are implementing it," she added.
The U.S. has about 56,000 troops in Afghanistan and the number is due to rise to about 68,000 this fall.

That had to be a pretty comical scene; this ignorant little chickenhawk punk Barry trying to lecture his hand-pick commander of forces in Afghanistan >>>
President Soetorobama could have learned from Bush's mistakes-- but his arrogance and penchant for golf seem to be getting in the way
We've just had the deadliest month in Afghanistan since 2001, and N0bama would rather spend his energy on Democrat fundraisers and attacking Fox News... what an *sshole

I love the cartoons that rip the pols and used to know where to get them but have forgotten.
As to the theme of this thread, I can understand the frustration of those who are seeing no progress and no sense of direction in
Afghanistan. That bothers me too, but darn it, if we just pull out and leave those people in a lurch that won't be a good deal either.
A big downside of the war on terror is that there is little chance to have a decisive victory, and maybe it is because we are fighting an ideology and not just men with rifles and explosives. I am sick of using and seeing "ideology" but that is as close to it as I can describe on short notice.
I am certainly not a Bama fan but he did inhertit the mess. Maybe his mistake was campaigning on the promise to get us out of there more promptly? Iraq seems to be gradually winding down so let's be patient and give it a try for a few more months before pulling the plug on Obama.
Maybe I am too easy to please, but being a pragmatist I would be happy to see some forward movement along a new path in Afghanistan. A sense of accomplishment to help overcome the sense of beating our heads against the wall.
