#1 Aww you stupid french man. Shut up already. You know nothing. In fact far more nothing than the nothings in office now.

#2 He'd be better at it were he really French, newc. He's only semi-French on one side, and due to an unusual education. I wonder if the Kennedy cousins didn't want him around? I'm not aware that any of the real Kennedys went abroad for school. 'Course, it's not something I actually pay attention to...

#3 ...without an adequate government in place

He is aware that Afghanistan just had an election, right?

#4 The Dems didn't like the Diem elections, either, did they? So we got a better President installed in South Vietnam.

That's prolly what Big Jahwn is thinkin',following the Vietnam model.

#5 Sounds to me like Jawn is still trying to re-enact his glory days.

Watching home movies just doesn't seem to cut it anymore.

He (and a lot of the rest of the crew) would like nothing better than another 'vietnam' style retreat.

#7 We must listen to Kerry. After all, he knows about combat. He won a Silver Star! And 3!!!! Purple Hearts. /sarcasm
Of course, after he was released from active duty (but NOT from the Navy), he treated with the enemy. Which in the good old days used to be called treason.

#9 What's irresponsible, Jahwn, is for us to leave our soldiers in the field without the means and support they need to do the job they were sent to do.

Truth shines through!

I don't see how President Obama can make a decision about the committing of our additional forces unless he reads the frigging plan! There fixed.
