#3 "With just one speech tomorrow night you will turn a multitude of young people who were the backbone of your campaign into disillusioned cynics."

Mikey, don't tease me like that!

Oh, please. The screaming moonbat left will still support him. They have nowhere else to go for their power fix.

The LLL will ride the O-train all the way to it's guyana-esque ending, before they will willingly submit themselves to another term out in the cold again.

#8 Ah, come on, Mikey. You'll go back for more and you'll love it....and you know it, you sick little twerp.

(I wouldn't pay ten cents to see any of his movies, but I'd give a few bucks to watch him blubber like a schoolgirl when he figures out Obama's just not that into him.)

#9 I have no use for all the rim job action that MM gave O-bow-ma, on behalf of the utterly clueless people who voted for this sorry excuse for a President - but I wholeheartedly agree with getting out of Afghanistan with all possible speed.

My mind cannot visualize "the good guys" ever achieving anything even resembling a successful outcome in the territory of Afghanistan - and I mean when I try very, very hard to think of the very best possible outcome that could ever emerge.

So - I default to the best idea that I have heard yet (sad as it may be). Pick one tribe that seems least negative toward our side - arm them, finance them, and help them put everyone else in that miserable territory to the sword. Follow-up with a does of "rubble doesn't cause trouble," declare victory, and get the hell outta there.

Yes, it is a hopeless situation. Yes, everyone who has died there since 2003 has died in vain. Throwing more blood and treasure into that bottomless pit isn't going to reverse those sad realizations. So - cut our losses, lick our wounds, and get ready for our next battles against the caliphate.
