Spoils of War
Posted by: | Comments
In a news dump Friday a week ago, the president abandoned a big chunk of his health care plan. Last Friday he abandoned Iraq. Only this time it really was Bush’s fault. Bush negotiated the withdrawal late in his administration. Obama tried to extend the Status of Forces agreement to allow 3,000 troops to to remain, but couldn’t get an Iraqi agreement on immunity from criminal prosecution for killing people and breaking things. So, he claimed credit for fulfilling a campaign pledge, took his army, and went home.
Horse Sense

I got this idea from a Rich Lowry column.
Osama bin Laden famously talked of the weak horse and the strong horse. Obama is the show horse.
For the record, the Show Horse picked Kansas to beat Ohio State in the March Madness final in April.

WikiLeaks leader, Julian Assange, doesn’t care for the United States’ meddling in world affairs. Yet his recent document dump showed that it’s Iran’s Arab neighbors who most want the U.S. to take out Iranian nukes. Other tasty morsels include a very close relationship between Putin and Berlusconi, Sarkozy as a “naked emperor“, an Afghan vice president with $50 million in cash, and Gadhafi’s voluptuous Ukranian nurse.

Canada, Ukraine, Mexico, and Chile agreed to cut their stockpiles of enriched uranium at last week’s Nuclear Security Summit.
UN Follies

Ahmadinejad gave a speech at the UN last night to empty seats and a smattering of empty suits. The Canadian delegation led a walk-out as he took the podium. Delegates were outraged by the Iranian leader’s anti-semitism. Or maybe they needed a bathroom break following Gaddafi’s stemwinder.
Wild About Harry

Some of Senate majority leader, Harry Reid’s, constituents don’t like the way health care reform is going. He responded by calling them Evil Mongers. Not surprisingly, he finds himself down in the polls. Now he’s charming his way back by picking a fight with a man who buys ink by the barrel (not to quote Mark Twain). He told the Las Vegas Review Journal he hopes it’s going out of business. His defenders say he was joking. Judging by his Evil Monger thigh slapper, they could be right.
Please go here for the counterpunch from the man who buys the ink (Sherman Fredrick, the publisher)
