#1 I watch him on TV and thought,

What is this, your personal opinion? And who is this we?

Afghanistan is a disaster and will result (is resulting) in the inability of the Euros to do anything useful in Libya, never mind the next crisis.

Like most other crises in the world today brought to you courtesy of the United Nations.

#3 If Petraeus, Graham, Reid, Obama et al actually wanted to end Jacksonian support for the Afghan war, what would they do differently?

When they should be telling the Afghans "Don't tread on me!" their actual message amounts to "Thank you, Sir! May I have another?!"

#8 Like most other crises in the world today brought to you courtesy of the United Nations. Nah, I think it stems from shipping billions of dollars to Jihadi oil pumpers and being willing to put up with the consequences.
