Quote Of The Day

By Ron Beasley

I'm with John Cole here:

I have nothing but bad feelings about the addition of 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan. Watching Michael O’Hanlon on the evening news was like a punch to the gut- we’ve been down this road before.

At what point are O’Hanlon and Pollack every going to be discredited enough that their expert advice is no longer solicited? Why are they even on tv anymore? How long before they have an op-ed in the NY Times pushing for more troops, more money, more of their favorite wars?

The reality is O'Hanlon and Pollack are saying exactly what the corporate media wants them to say.  It's the media that is bringing fascism to America.  See Corporatocracy aka fascism.

It is unfortunate that Obama is too young to remember Vietnam. Beyond that, however, his refusal to listen to Bill Moyers and numerous others with direct experience in past quagmires indicates a willingness to see many more US troops dead while he takes the trial and error approach.

What he inherited no longer takes precedence. He's taking ownership of this war with this escalation. And his on-the-job training is going to be paid for with someone else's blood.

He is a callous and ignorant man.
