A Chump and His Pocket Change are Soon Parted

Obama is going to get screwed by the military, and it looks like Hillary is doing what she can to assist.

What on earth is the military going to accomplish for Obama that they could not accomplish for Bush? And they ostensibly loved Bush and were wholeheartedly trying to make his policies work. And they were a whole lot fresher seven years ago, too.

If the War on Iraq (what else could it be?) and the War on Afghanistan, both undeclared weren't right to start with, how can President Obama make them any righter? And in case no body's noticed, the military has profoundly failed at every objective except defeating Iraq's army, a pretty much foregone conclusion. But since then, all of the things which were supposed to be accomplished through the military, the occupation and reconstruction, political settlement, fewer militants, etc, etc, go unaccomplished and getting worse, along with humanitarian disasters caused by the wars.

And this is going to turn around for Obama? At this point I can only see two strategic objectives behind the military's every move; first, to avoid, at any cost, any accounting which rises higher than lower ranks, and any accounting for the military's commercial partners must be avoided. Financial, moral, legal or military, all accounting must be squelched. Second, make sure public ire towards the military can be diverted elsewhere. And Obama makes a perfect scapegoat.

I cannot figure it out. What does Obama think the military is going to do for him? If Obama had announced that the military was at the end of its rope and needed substantial rest and re-fit, would that have been so bad? And good ol' Hillary makes sure to announce that our resources and attention should be directed towards Chinese political crimes within their own country, not finding out what, and why, America has committed crimes in nations across the globe.

How Unfortunate!

Almost six-freakin'-hundred coments on Israel-Palestine, and all my old ziocaine buddies present and spewing, and I missed it. One thing for sure, when the ziocaine comes out, there's no room for anti-Semantics.

@Gator90

>>>just as the Nazis had the military power for a few years to condemn Jews to the camps. Hitler claimed a divine right of sorts as well.

Fuck you

Gator90

Look, Gator90, you really don't want to go dredging that up. Hitler and the Zionists found it very easy to work together. The Zionists had no trouble claiming they represented the aspiraqtions of German Jews, and found nothing wrong with co-operating with the Nationalk Socialists. In fact a medal cemmorating their co-operation and a high Nazi representatives trip to Palestine was struck. It shows a Star of David on one side and a swatstika on the other.

So you really want to avoid discussion of that whole Hitler thing, lest it lead to a discussion of just how good the Zionists were at representing and working for the good of "the Jews".

Israel doesn't like settlers.

"What people tends to forget is the fact that the settlers are not exactly wildly popular in Israel itself."

It's pretty clear the Israelis don't give a shit about these most fanatic of Jews. What kind of country, what kind of people ever let these settlers get started in the first place. Israel uses them as pawns in a situation which could lead to them getting slaughtered, en masse (That's Yiddish for "the whole freakin bunch of 'em") if their little game of "chicken" goes wrong. But that's how Zionism works: There's a whole panoply of Zionism's victims in Israel before you even get to Arabs or Palestinians.

@Canuckistan Bob

Bob, you can't argue with a ziocaine addict for two reasons, first, because they can not remember or be held responsible for the things they say. Diminished capacity, you see. The second is more a little harder to explain. They're like a guy who always pressures you to drink, and they can't understand why nobody else wants to avail themselves of this great beautiful high, and they can't understand why you wont have a good time along with them. That's your brain on ziocaine.

This may be your lucky day!

If I get the Hammond A-100 I'm bidding on today, Salon will probably never hear from me again. We'll have to see what happens. I doubled my bid from $500 to $1000, which is still pretty cheap.

Why Can't We All Get Along, Little Dawgies?

I am always amazed at the amount of effort white folks will put into giving themselves permission to use racial epithets. It's like they can't live without it.

Well, if I gave up using the words Goyim and Schicksa and Schwartze, and I did, too, as I've been told they are offensive, any body else can, too.

Gosh, that's a good title for a CW song.

Big, big difference between proclaiming you bigotry to the world at large and placing a threatening message on a specific person's door. There's also the trespassing aspect (yes graffiti is a misdemeanor offense. The fact that someone trepsassed to place a message to impact selected people may indicate to the police the threat should be taklen more seriously.

Also, if you're curios about what happens to people who like to say "Fuck off, Ni--er", see:

Myrna admits it, Steele is right!

"all most is bad as my zoltuns breath after he has a garlick bagel with onyon dip with jonathon from television."

Maybe Jews do control the media.
