#1 Mr. Donilon has been replaced by Susan "it was the video" Rice as National Security Director. That's a bad to worse scenario if I ever saw one.

#2 Oh my word,

I think I am going to be ill, whatever happened to "We will go anywhere and pay any price for the call of freedom and democracy"?

Even Neville would not have gone so low.

See, since we have no enemies, we can gut the military and bulldoze the money to fill the gapping financial blackhole of Obumble care.

#4 The source is Karzai. Season freely.

But the claim might be true. Given the demands Karzai's been making, maybe a warning that we haven't as much skin in this game as he does is in order. True, we have quite a few idiots running things, but every now and then something sensible slips through--maybe this isn't as dumb as it looks.

#5 Screw Karzai. We should waste neither blood nor treasure on this swine. I don't want a status of forces agreement with him. It will only keep us there longer, get our brave men killed and cost us $$billions with nothing to show for it. Leave. Tomorrow. Let the Afghans figure it out.

#6 If the administration really feels that way they should stop sending people to die so they can pretend to us they're fighting them.

#10 Is the Bammer Admin = USA sure about that - they may not call or label themselves as "Al Qaeda" per se, but MULLAH OMAR, ETAL. is as much a part of Osama's inner circle as Ayman Zawahiri.

To wit,

* MEMRI.ORG > REVIEW OF ISSUE IV OF THE TALIBAN MAGZAZINE "AZAN": ACCUSING THE WEST OF DIVIDING THE MUSLIM WORLD; "IFF ANOTHER 9-11 HAPPENS ON AMERICAN SOIL, WILL OBAMA DECIDE TO LAUNCH ANOTHER 12-YEAR WAR AGZ THE MUSLIMS"?

Strong inference = warning? about new 9-11(s)? occurring in US before the Bammer leaves office[2014 < Jan 2017]???

ARTIC also denotes ...
> Radical Islam'S jihad is at the stage of achieving NEAR-VICTORY AGZ THE US-WEST.
> THE JIHAD = MUJAHIDEEN MOVEMENT IS WELL-ESTABLISHED, THE US, WEST IS TOO BROKE + CANNOT STOP THE JIHAD FROM STRIKING THEM EVEN IFF THEY WANTED TO.
> MARCH FROM THE LANDS OF KHURASAN, SHAAM [Syria], + ISLAMIC MAGHREB INTO THE HEARTLANDS OF EUROPE + NORTH AMERICA.
