#2 The address before the United States Military Academy at West Point on Tuesday night will not only be used to announce the immediate order to deploy roughly 30,000 more troops, but the administration will also use the occasion to convey how it intends to turn the fight over to the Kabul government, the New York Times reported.

I hear that the first group is basically Marines, so picking West Point for your background photo opt is another example of keen White House understanding of the military. The second part about "to turn the fight over to the Kabul government" smacks of pure Vietnamization. How'd that work out? So, it looks like we're going to have to allow the enemy freedom of movement up to and in our own borders [as in 9/11] with the expansion of the inept Homeland Security with more powers to control its citizens rather than really cleaning the nest of vipers in the first place. Hopey Changey.

#4 He won't run, 746. He's enjoying a well-earnt retirement and the privilege of age to say exactly what he thinks. But what a fun ticket Condoleeza Rice-Dick Cheney would be, if only they would.

#5 Feh, Peanuts. A comic strip with lousy art that wasn't funny. Had one joke with the football that got recycled a hundred times. Totally overrated.

#8 That combination would certainly bring the...impassioned... out of the woodwork, Dr. Steve. Can you imagine the outcry that Ms. Sarah is merely Chainey's sock-puppet?

#9 VARIOUS GUAM LOCALS > opine that, ala VIETNAM WAR, its very hard to win WW2-style "TOTAL VICTORY" goals wid KOREAN-VIETNAM WAR-style "POLICE ACTION/LIMITED-HALF WAR" methods, regardless of the merits. Also ala VIETNAM, the [tansient/tempor]US-ALLIED milfors are fighting agz the peoples whom permanently live there + whom historic WAGE "PEOPLE'S/GUERILLA WAR" WHERE OUTLASTING THE ENEMY = ENEMY'S PATIENCE IS MORE IMPOR THAN PER SE BATTLEFIELD-COMBAT VICTORIES.

On GEOPOLX, believe that POTUS BAMMER CAN'T NUKE THE AFPAK LOCALS [MilTerrs] UNLESS THE US IS WILLING TOR RISK RUSSIA, CHINA, etc. + NUCLEAR TERRORISTS NUKE THE US IN RETURN. The GOOD NEWS for the USA + Obama is that the US Economy is curr so weak or bad, + getting worse under the BAMMER, that YOUNG AMERS HAVE NO REAL CHOICE BUT TO JOIN THE MILITARY. REGIONAL WARS) BEYOND AFPAK WOULD PROB BE IN THE BAMMER'S = USA's POLECON INTERESTS RIGHT NOW!
