Bruce, the original post was about the Talibans advance from Swat (100 miles from the capital) to the Buner district. 40 miles closer to Pakistans capital. You can't blame the Talibans current move towards the capital on FORMER president Bush. Obama is the president NOW. How will he handle it? Will he exorcize his BDS and hope this will fix the problem? (BDS=Bush Derangement Syndrome-it's very common) Some symptoms of it is terminology such as; inherited,(that is a very common one), failed past policies, stale and divisive policies, fresh conversations, worst economy since the Great Depression, i.e., the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency, the very existence of George W. Bush.
>During this process, Chalabi was paid millions of YOUR taxpayer dollars for bad information and taken 100% at his word.<
900 million of OUR tax dollars sent to Hamas, um, to rebuild Gaza. Unspecified amounts of money for abortions in FOREIGN nations and oh yea, he's spent more in 80 days than all of the presidents combined. I know, he had to because of the economy that he inherited.
>This is another problem that Obama inherited from the worst president the U.S. has ever known.<
Bush certainly had his problems but have you ever heard of a guy named Jimmy Carter?
>He resigned from W. (like many other highly qualified people did) because he couldn't work for the incompetent bastard.<
Richardson, Dachelle, Killifer, Geither, Sebollis, Solis, Gregg, Kirk- All resigned or disqualified or took the job even though they are guilty of tax cheating and/or ethics.
Back to the pressing issue of what will president Obama do with the clear and present danger of a nuclear armed Taliban possibility.
>Earlier this week Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., told editors and reporters at USA Today that more than three months into office, the Obama team still had not managed to come up with any coherent strategy for restoring stability to the populous Muslim, nuclear-armed power.
>"Pakistan is in a moment of peril," Kerry, the Democratic chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told the gathering. "And I believe there is not in place yet an adequate policy or plan to deal with it."<
I hope we get a coherent strategy for the Muslim nuclear armed power, Iran, N. Korea, etc and it be something other that the useless U. N.
Gotta go, I'm coming down with a case of ODS= Obama Derangement Syndrome :)
