— Ace As if the Obama administration's Afghan policy wasn't already clear as mud, Sheriff Joe decided to wade into the debate today and add a few more pounds of muck to the mix.
"You're going to see that [troop numbers] chart coming down as rapidly over the next two years," Biden said after looking at a chart showing troop numbers surging from 33,000 at the beginning of 2009 to 98,000 in the summer of 2010. "This is not a Coin [counterinsurgency] strategy," Biden said. "We just want to make sure that the Taliban is diminished enough so that the Afghan government can contain it."Perhaps most troubling, Biden said: "the president has made something exquisitely clear to each of the generals: He said do not occupy any portion of that country that you are not confident within 18 months you're going to be able to turn over to the Afghans. Do not occupy what you cannot turn over."
It's not a counterinsurgency strategy? Did anyone tell that to Obama, McChrystal or Gates?
I'm not sure if this is Slow Joe being Slow Joe (he was supposedly an advocate for a counter-terrorism based approach) or he accidentally let the truth out but there's already been too much confusion over the meaning of the December 2010 review, the July 2011 pull out and whether or not it's all conditions based, we really don't need any more 'nuance' added to the program.
Related Enough: The Weekly Standard takes a look at Joe Biden's, um, intellect and finds him wanting.
A little philosophy? Who better to cite at a summit on urban policy in Chicago than Aristotle, who, "over two millennia ago . . . recognized the defining advantage of cities. He wrote, and I quote, 'Men come together in cities in order to live; they remain together in order to live the good life.' That is as true today as it was then." Never mind that Aristotle's point in the Politics was basically the opposite--that men move beyond their local "villages" to form broader political associations, translated as "city" but also "society," with roughly the connotation of today's "nation." Oh well--it sounded nice.Biden also dabbles in theology. In May, he quoted a line from G.K. Chesterton ("It's not that Christianity has been tried and found wanting; it's been found difficult and left untried") that must have struck its audience--the American Israel Public Affairs Committee--as an odd an-alogy. (Biden was likening Christianity to the Middle East peace process.)
Thanks to Edward via Ace (the real one) for the latter Standard link.

big favor i'd like from you morons, my gf's sister who doesn't like universal healthcare has to write a paper on why people support/don't support it. to my shock most people commenting (except 1 person) agree w/ me against it, i posted why i thought it would hurt us and posted links to source from, the guy who disagrees though just posted something directed at me that reads the following:
@ Luis - Soooooo we can either go your way and not pay our part for a universal health care system and people will will still die. Also people that ARE getting medical help without it being paid for, is CAUSING a large majority of our government debt. You don't believe you can get medical help on the gov't's dime? Go to the ER with a broken bone ... See Moreand I bet you walk out with a cast. OR, we can pay for the universal health care system and provide funding for it other than our future social security checks when we retire. ;-) Shit rolls down hill baby.
so how should i respond to that, i'm not necessarily sure what the hell he's talking about? and please don't make the reply too rude because it might be a good friend of my gf's sister

This is just Biden being Biden. He was always against this new Afghan strategy, so he's stating his own hopes and feelings while trying to sound important. Everyone - Gates, Jones, McChrystal, Petraeus, Hillary - is saying the opposite, and other than The Great Gift Giver, they'll be the ones in charge of implementing the policy.

Heck, the Taliban are Afghans. They could turn it all over to them right now. Why wait for 18 months, do it yesterday.
What was the original mission goal again? Invade Afghanistan because the Afghans won't give up Crazy Sammy. Are we any closer to getting Crazy Sammy yet?

I would say something like this.
In addition to my general preference that personal liberty in the form of freedom of choice for the individual be retained by the citizens as is possible, the government generally and this administration in particular have clearly demonstrated their inability to successfully address even the most simple medical questions. For many months now we have been told that a new plague will be and is upon us in the form of swine flu. The very government that has been trying to and is scaring the bejesus out of the population has failed totally in the most basic of precautions, vaccinations. Such vaccinations as have been provided have been too few, too late, and now, today, we learn that the quality is so low that 800,000 must be "recalled" (although I reamin unclear on how one is able to recall a vaccination that has been injected into a patient's arm). These are the people who will decide which of several options you or your loved one will be granted when they don't have a year to think about it, when they are dealing with a far more complicated situation, and when the issue is your life or death. Government is intrinsically stupid, clumsy, and slow but this administration makes the Three Stooges look like Nobel Laureates as they lie, bungle, and corrupt there way to sacrificing our lives, our fortunes, and possibly our sacred honor so that bureaucrats can replace doctors in making health care decisions.

The only reason I'm not a doctor or a pilot right now. God's truth.
I will say that most of the folks that I went to law school with at a small, private, well-ranked school were almost universally pretty intelligent. Once into practice, I realized quickly that this is not the case in other law schools.

Well, I think we can all agree that I'm not the sharpest bulb in the drawer, but here are a couple of my thoughts:
@ Luis - Soooooo we can either go your way and not pay our part for a universal health care system and people will will still die.
Universal health care will not stop people from dying. Everyone dies. The only way to not die is to not have been born in the first place (I understand China has a handle on that policy), but where's the fun in that?
Also people that ARE getting medical help without it being paid for, is CAUSING a large majority of our government debt.
Wouldn't it be cheaper and more effective to enforce the border?
OR, we can pay for the universal health care system and provide funding for it other than our future social security checks when we retire.

The whole problem with "The Taliban is not Al Qaeda" meme is Mullah Omar. He is the head guy. He is also considered by some to be the Caliph , or the Ruler, of the revived Islamic Caliphate. I have read that Osama Bin Laden has pledged fealty to Mullah Omar. If this is true then I would think Bin Laden is acting with the concurrence of Mullah Omar.

Extortion. I smell Rahm.
"According to a Senate aide, the White House is now threatening to put Nebraska's Offutt Air Force Base on the BRAC list if Nelson doesn't fall into line.
Offutt Air Force Base employs some 10,000 military and federal employees in Southeastern Nebraska. As our source put it, this is a "naked effort by Rahm Emanuel and the White House to extort Nelson's vote." They are "threatening to close a base vital to national security for what?" asked the Senate staffer."

Burris is even standing around with his hand out (no doubt he'll want something he can put his name on).
Obama wants this, as he wants a legacy. Reid wants it because re-election for him won't happen, so he wants to be the brave martyr to health care so that he can get a cushy lobbying job. The progressives want it to enslave us all. The rest, not so much. In fact, they'd like to scuttle the whole thing and just spend money as usual.

PS: Someone should tell Vice President Biden to shut the f... up be a little more circumspect. Maybe Gates should start the ball rolling. At the very least some Blue Dog should call for his censure in Congress. Maybe even Senator John F. Kerry or Congressman John Murtha might even take it upon themselves to support the troops by suggesting to Vice President Biden that he makes such statements only when in more secure company - much like when National Security Advisor Jones was in Afghanistan listening to Marine Brigadier General Nicholson and his colonels talk about troop levels -
"Well, Jones went on, after all those additional troops, 17,000 plus 4,000 more, if there were new requests for force now, the president would quite likely have "a Whiskey Tango Foxtrot moment." Everyone in the room caught the phonetic reference to WTF -- which in the military and elsewhere means "What the [expletive]?"
Nicholson and his colonels -- all or nearly all veterans of Iraq -- seemed to blanch at the unambiguous message that this might be all the troops they were going to get."*

Third, sure Joe, let's just telegraph to the enemy exactly what we're going to do.

When does a correction not need to be corrected:
"An error was edited into Robert Poppiti's column. The list of corrupt politicians should have included the name of former Louisiana Rep. William Jefferson, not William Jefferson Clinton."--correction, News Journal (Wilmington, Del.), Dec. 15
I think that this is a metaphor:
"The Nobel Committee rushed into bed with Obama. When the alarm bell rang the next morning, six Norwegians found themselves sleeping next to someone quite apart from the person they had viewed through gin-altered glasses the night before."--Bonnie Erbe, PoliticsDaily.com, Dec. 14
This analogy may be a tad too apt:
"The History Channel is planning its first scripted series and will base it on the Kennedys," the Associated Press reports: The cable network says the eight-hour series is called "The Kennedys" and will be told in a multigenerational manner akin to "The Godfather."

First, "exquisitely" clear? Egads Joe, who talks like that?
Maybe he meant the mathematical term "elegantly"? That just proves that, for once, Aristotle is correct about him being a douche.

Hey Guys and Gals!
Make sure those backup lights are working come Spring!
And don't make a big deal about filling those sand bags!
Get used to losing!
Try not to murder too many innocent women and children before we can finish this retreat to please Code Pinko!
Merry Non-religion-affiliated December Holiday!

Ok, there is no way we can win this thing. We have told the Tali-bad everything we are doing & intend to do. We need to pull our troops out now, ( that will really throw em) and not risk another young man or womans life.
We need to hunker down, right here at home & work on our boarders & those sleepers that are here already - Because this isnt about, you are on my side... move over.
They just want us dead & they wont stop until they try to do it.

PS: Someone should tell Vice President Biden to shut the f... up be a little more circumspect. Maybe Gates should start the ball rolling. At the very least some Blue Dog should call for his censure in Congress.

Remind them that "universal healthcare insurance reform control" is so popular and benevolent that Congresscritters have opted themselves out. I think. Who's to say since a) we haven't (and almost no one has) seen the bill, and b) it will be remodified to who knows what during reconciliation. None of that should inspire confidence. So, at last check, Congress will not partake in their own construct... whatever it is.

"the president has made something exquisitely clear to each of the generals: He said do not occupy any portion of Scranton that you are not confident within 18 months you're going to be able to turn over to IHOP. Do not occupy what you cannot turn over. If you can't flip the flapjack, let it rest. Scranton is a Hellhole, and we may have to nuke the place
Hey, we threw plugs outta here when he was 3! We could tell he was an asshole before he could talk. Hell, his first crayon drawing was plagarized.
Lets see you work 20 hours in a coal mine, and then play ball for 6 more hours after supper. Makes for a busy day when ya have to get up in 4 hours for waffles before work.

"This is not a Coin [counterinsurgency] strategy," Biden said. "We just want to make sure that the Taliban is diminished enough so that the Afghan government can contain it."
What. The. Fuck?
If Joe's brains were dynamite, he wouldn't have enough to blow his nose.

""According to a Senate aide, the White House is now threatening to put Nebraska's Offutt Air Force Base on the BRAC list if Nelson doesn't fall into line."
I have read that the BRAC was the one truly independent commission.
Maybe not any more.

Phrases I never thought I'd need for a hundred, Alex, -What is, "Boy, I miss Dan Quayle!"
It really takes a lot to make Dan Quayle look good. What a fucking idiot. Not only is our strategy weak, but now we told the whole world what it is. Genius.

Wow. Simply wow.
So this is the guy that's supposed to be better than Sarah Palin? Scott Adams used to joke about people rising to their level of incompetence. Ol slow Joe has risen fall indeed.
