#1 Cannot a single day pass without hearing from this tiring, dispicable munt? As if eight years of listening to Slick wasn't enough.

#2 The administration in its infinite wisdom decided to let State take the lead in the ~~War~~ Kinetic Military Action on ~~WoT~~ Anthropomorphic-Caused-Disasters. Hence HRC's pronouncements.

Figure helicopters-on-the-roof in Kabul in two years.

#3 They promise to reduce Afghan Casualties. Given how their promises to reduce deficit and unemployment turned out---if I was an Afghan, I'd be very, very nervous.

#4 By 'stopping' I guess she could mean 'winning' so we don't have to anymore and the enemy no longer can.

#5 Get the Afghan 'civilians' to stop shooting at us (or hanging around with others who do) and we'll stop killing Afghan 'civilians.'

#7 Far be it from me to defend our Secretary of State (remind me again how she got that job?), but I wonder how much of this is boilerplate proforma tut-tut, tsk tsk, while we go on with business as usual. Someone has to say "Nice doggie!" while the others throw rocks and 500 lb bombs.
