The invasion of Afghanistan was controversial?
Only to those who know history. It is a simple fact that anyone who ever conquered Afghanistan fairly quickly wished that they hadn't. Afghanistan is a graveyard where superpowers go to die.
We were going after terrorists who had just killed 3,000 innocent Americans.

The bastards parachuted out of the planes just before they hit and made their way back to Afghanistan, didn't they? I knew it!
You just cannot trust terrorists! If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times.
Training ground for the faithful...
Stevens loses his Senate seat. The AP just called it for Begich. That takes the Senate to 56 elected Dems, 40 elected Rethugs, Bernie Sanders caucusing with the Dems, two seats still to be determined in MN and GA and little Joe off by himself gloating over his victory today. He officially caucuses with the Dems but we all know he really is the only member of the party of Joe.
wow what a courageous intellectual coward Glenn is...
Fact is he cannot handle the very idea that Obama thought is was a good move to not demonize Lieberman and to move forward as a nation..
Again my premise remains the same white liberals and their inherent contempt for people of color( Obama) will be more lethal for the nation than the usual red neck conservative right wingers...
On this same site Salon has also published some cheap sleaze about Michelle's butt ..
Hitler's butt? Where? huh?
Okay, so Obama has in many ways already disappointed those who've voted for him, and he hasn't yet even assumed his office.
Okay, so many of us will wait until he's had time in office to see if he can actually effect any of the "changes" we Progressives would like to see. And politics is politics, so we can't expect total improvement overnight, and some compromises are literally inevitable, even for those who are the very best intentioned.
Okay. Not pretty, but eminently reasonable.
So, IF the Obama administration turns out, after the next four or even eight years, to be basically business as usual, THEN will it be time to finally reject all of the Republicans AND the Democrats? Or will we once again clutch desperately at the next Dem candidates promising "change" who will be marched out by the corporate-owned big media in the next election cycles?
It's a rational question. After all, a brick wall will continue to stand no matter how many times one bangs one's head against it. What's that popular definition of "insanity," again?
lol
You're cracking me up!
Sometimes we choose this:
out of our crude buttcheek mouths
we laugh at our fates!
Frankly, my fiend, you are lucky you only talked trash about my dick-size. Talk bad about the palmates and you will never be allowed back! And whatever you do, leave off the dewlap, baby. I don't mess with your do-rag, you leave my dewlap alone, deal?
No Foggy Bottom Farm Market tomorrow. Harvesters are few.
The cold, ripped britches in behinds, knees, and many sneezes.
Lazy hands told tails of feeling blue, or in the doldrums, dumps.
Folk wobble as if a deer antler gorged guts, and entrails hang out.
The jaws hang open and are so tired they can't masticate the carrots.
People get weary/ They refuse to lick the leek and potato soup bowls.
No clean dishes, cups, spoons, nor pitch forks. Critters act half's-dead.
Folk feel dumped on. People want to sip tea, whine, and sit at the hearth.
I completely share the disgust. I feel dumb too @ UT to bangs a keyboard.
I said: There's three markets left, and garlic ain't yet under the earth. Rest.
And here I'm sounding silly as a master with slaves: Got carrots, cotton, beets,
furrows rowed, broccoli bundled, and potatoes needing uprooted. O. @ UT, bang ho.
shooter242. I'll be @ Foggy Bottom next week? Visit WV's Sunnyside Farm. Mention me?
Jim Huett has a knee brace. He hopped off a tractor, and into a groundhog hole. Honest.
Ask Jim to give you good deals. Blueberry Hill Vegetable Farm vendor spot is right at G.W.
The statue will be where we be next week. Buy olive bread from a baker right next to G.W.
Serious. Arwater's has a big bread bakery. www.atwater.biz. The helpers will pick a cookie.
Out/over. Guest are here, and then bedtime... wild day, DC's gang may be labeled mental ill?We citizen's will go bankrupt, and they will continue to be vain and corrupt? Gusty cranky day

Apart from the presidential campaign, I see no reason why anyone ought to simply wait to see how it turns out over the next four years. There are congressional elections in two years and now's the time, ala Accountability Now/Act Blue, to identify progressive candidates who can run in districts in which they would have a reasonable chance of winning. There, and at the state level, is where progressives stand the best chance of generating movement.
I had a conversation with a Green Party member who disagreed with me on trying to wrest change through the Democratic Party. I have no special loyalty to that party; I simply think it would be a monumental task to try to create a new party from whole cloth. I reminded him that Christian conservatives, from the bottom up, remade their party in an image that--while repulsive to many of us--better reflected their political interests (though not entirely, of course). They, too, had grown tired of being scorned.
New boy on the block, GBT, whines: "So apparently because I rejected Glenn's petty attacks on Obama he had the courage to delete my posts
wow what a courageous intellectual coward Glenn is..."
Do yourself a favour, fellow Salonistas, DON'T bother reading her other posts. It's kind of like the irritating person at the office that endlessly semi-audibly, pursed-lippedly whistles the same irritating tune over and over.
Where do these ugly, petty, angry little people come from? Where do they go when the sun goes down? Who feeds them? Cares for them? I realize that this one, like so many others, has just wandered in for the day, looking for some abuse, pouring their frustration and impotence into posts that they would never dream of actually saying to another person. Things they could never say. And yes, I know, cardinal rule number one. Don't feed the trolls, especially the really bent ones. I can't help it, though. This one really is a stinker, and obviously needs help. My advice. Adjust the meds. Get a hobby. Or better yet, get a life. Make a friend. Come out of the closet. Cut back on the red meat. Or maybe wander over to TownHall or Freeker's Republick -- people may actually listen to you. And my friends, not to worry, like a bad case of gas, this too shall pass.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
