cheney is to make a blockbuster speech tonite
everytime the VEEP talks obama's butt gets badly beat
when's the last time you heard the administration or anyone in the media mention the special prosecution of the cia?
darth cheney is to reveal this evening that, at the admin's private preference, last october and november, the bush admin conducted a top-to-bottom review of the situation in afghanistan that was comprehensive in its outlook
also at obama's quiet request, cheney will say that he and his former team kept the communication and its contents confidential
obama relied almost entirely on the bush/cheney report to flesh out his now famous "new, comprehensive strategy for afghanistan," announced march 27
march 27 is a very memorable date for close obama observers
The White House - Blog Post - A New Strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan
the 3-27 strategy announcement, echoing largely advice received from the previous white house, mirrors mcchrystal's secret assessment, delivered to obama august 1 and leaked to the electorate sept 21 by the post's bob woodward, the day after obama blitzed five sunday talks and dissembled that he had not yet been briefed, that he had not yet been asked for reinforcements
Gen. McChrystal Calls for More Troops in Afghanistan in Secret Assessment Sent to Obama - ABC News
the cheney cabal is reportedly furious that rahm the ram would go on cnn last sunday and suggest that the current white house had to "start from scratch" when it comes to activities in the mountains over the moon
had obama read cheney's summary more closely, heck, had the CHIN even subscribed to the ny times (or the post), he wouldn't be so sucker punched with shock that karzai's suddenly no shirley temple
indeed, in august obama called afghanistan a "war of necessity," not "a war of choice"
Obama calls Afghan war 'fundamental' to U.S. defense
this was on the eve of karzai's corrupt reelection, and richard holbrook was there all along watching for the white house
"the drumbeat of defeatism" cheney will decry
meanwhile, obama struggles to establish a timeline for deciding whether or not to give mcchrystal what he recommends, to give his hand picked commander the numbers the in-the-field expert calls out as bottom line necessary to avoid defeat
indecisive even over his indecisiveness appears our over-his-head commander in chief
it just gets worse and worse for this woebegone white house
obama can't do a darned thing right
