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?

First you are referring to them as hypocrites. You need to admit you were wrong there. Of course, no one is holding their breaths for that.

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.

"My suggestion is that you pull the forest out of your own eye before you cast your gaze at others." -JohnHP

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.

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?

i do not need to be right, i usually happen to be right. There is a big difference.

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.

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.

Obama to send 4,000 more troops to Afghanistan, officials say

For a peace-boy, 0bama is sure interested in expanding the war.

Just for laughs, check this lefty out :

To sober, clear-eyed observers of history and political deception, the ascension of Barack Obama held the promise for unprecedented new dangers: a revitalized New World Order, led by the Anglo-American empires neoliberal criminal faction and an iconic, deceptive new facilitator; and a continuation of Bush/Cheney criminality and war, under smarter and much more effective management.

Now, just months into their tenure, the Barack Obama administration has more than fulfilled the murderous promises he made to his elite constituency, deepening the mass destruction of Bush/Cheney, while charming its victims all over the world into enjoying their own demise.

The empires facilitator

Beneath his seemingly boundless charisma and charm, Barack Obama has always been an utterly ruthless politician. He has been a compromiser who has danced with the darkest forces of political and criminal power, while winning over common people; a consensus-abiding chameleon and a pragmatist. Obama is the true model of what George W. Bush only claimed to be: a uniter, not a divider.

The signs were clear from the early days of the presidential contest that Obama was, like every presidential candidate, a handpicked puppet. His cadre of national security and foreign policy advisors included the most notorious war criminals, intelligence/security advisors and corrupt think tank assets in the world. His campaign was bankrolled by Wall Street, and big corporations. His policy agenda was taken from the playbook of the Bilderberg Group, the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission. Both neoliberal (and neocon) elite power and money coalesced behind Obama, as his political rivals dropped off.

Obamas record in the US Senate was one of general complicity with Bush/Cheney and the status quo, including enthusiastic support of the consensus war on terrorism deception and the big 9/11 lie. Former US Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney has described how, in her encounters with Obama, the senator from Illinois repeatedly refused to act in opposition to Bush/Cheney policies. Time again, during his days in the Senate, and throughout the presidential campaign, Obama has not only fully supported the Bush/Cheney administration on the USAPATRIOT Act, and the wholesale militarization and criminalization of the United States.


... almost makes me nostalgic for the 60s!!!

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."

July 20 2009, 9:21 PM 

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.

Clinton regrets rise in US deaths in Afghanistan

And this blockhead 0bama is still sitting there figuring how he'll win this war in the courts.

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 >>>

An adviser to the administration said: "People aren't sure whether McChrystal is being naïve or an upstart. To my mind he doesn't seem ready for this Washington hard-ball and is just speaking his mind too plainly."

In London, Gen McChrystal, who heads the 68,000 US troops in Afghanistan as well as the 100,000 Nato forces, flatly rejected proposals to switch to a strategy more reliant on drone missile strikes and special forces operations against al-Qaeda.

He told the Institute of International and Strategic Studies that the formula, which is favoured by Vice-President Joe Biden, would lead to "Chaos-istan".

When asked whether he would support it, he said: "The short answer is: No."

He went on to say: "Waiting does not prolong a favorable outcome. This effort will not remain winnable indefinitely, and nor will public support."

The remarks have been seen by some in the Obama administration as a barbed reference to the slow pace of debate within the White House.

Gen McChrystal delivered a report on Afghanistan requested by the president on Aug 31, but Mr Obama held only his second "principals meeting" on the issue last week.

He will hold at least one more this week, but a decision on how far to follow Gen McChrystal's recommendation to send 40,000 more US troops will not be made for several weeks.

A military expert said: "They still have working relationship but all in all it's not great for now."

Some commentators regarded the general's London comments as verging on insubordination.

Bruce Ackerman, an expert on constitutional law at Yale University, said in the Washington Post: "As commanding general, McChrystal has no business making such public pronouncements."

He added that it was highly unusual for a senior military officer to "pressure the president in public to adopt his strategy".

Relations between the general and the White House began to sour when his report, which painted a grim picture of the allied mission in Afghanistan, was leaked. White House aides have since briefed against the general's recommendations.

The general has responded with a series of candid interviews as well as the speech. He told Newsweek he was firmly against half measures in Afghanistan: "You can't hope to contain the fire by letting just half the building burn."

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.

Referring to my original comment at the outset of the thread:

"You have to wonder why we're 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."
