#1 Steve, you're definitely on to something with that last remark. Bambi and the Euros should just outsource leadership of the war to W. He's decisive, unlike some presidents I can think of; he's got the experience, unlike some secretaries of state I can think of; most important from Bambi's point of view, he's willing to take responsibility when things go wrong and not look for folks to throw under the bus; and the mere idea would probably cause Daffy's troops to surrender to the nearest goat. Appoint "Mad Dog" Mattis as his technical advisor, and we're good to go.

#3 I remember the last time the Euros led. The Brits and the Frogs, actually. '56 it was. Suez. Ike left them high and dry. New time, same place, same deal.

#4 I think it would be cool if the Euro's paid for this nonsense too!

#5 "Amateur hour over? Hopey Changey turning out to be the bullshit we all knew it was? Need a real President? Come on down to Crawford and visit W's Rent-A-Pair. Pairs available in traditional solid brass, titanium, and for those really tough decisions, depleted uranium. Clang when you walk, don't chime like Baccarat crystal!"

#9 Maybe thats Germany's problem with this whole thing. The Turks said no to NATO involvement and Germany has a large Turkish immigrant population that has remained relatively quite. Does Turkey a NATO member have any boots on the ground in Afganistan?

Wonder if the MFM will compare Obama to Ike, then?

#11 Wonder if the MFM will compare Obama to Ike, then?

But President Eisenhower was a fighting general first, right? Clearly nothing like the current iteration, as they will no doubt say in high indignation... and not understand the smothered snickers that ensue.

I do apologize for that, but it all puts me in a mood.
