Let’s stop “just air-raiding villages and killing civilians

versus
Announcing his own intentions to drop Iraq and invade Pakistan

The first quote passes judgement in current military actions. Obama says we are ‘just’ air raiding villages and killing civilians. The word ‘just’ is used to mean ‘only’ or ‘merely’ dpending upon context and the contents of his unformed brain. That statement definitely says the United States is acting as a war criminal.

His second expression, announcing he would invade Pakistan, that is, act militarily (we are already there) without permission of the Pak government is truely bizarre for someone seeking the office of Commander in Chief. He reveals his war strategy as a campaign point.

This mess-iah has now basically called the USA a war criminal, and to get on our good side, tells the Pakistanis that if he gets elected he will invade, when we already have a presence in that country.

What a great Commander in Chief he would be. This guy could really win the hearts and minds of our soldiers, if they have neither

Sparkle, That’s an even better sentence without those last 11 words.

However, ABH –ABH – ABH.

Except he’s a good speaker on many subjects, probably better than you and definitely better than me.

The problem here is he doesn’t know his subject matter. Sparkle nailed it.

It’s an important subject he doesn’t understand. Should be a deal killer.

I agree with Allah. I don’t think Obama meant to smear out military. I think what is green here is how to speak about the war in such a way that doesn’t sound demeaning.

Look, Obama reads reports, just like all the candidates do. He read these things about air strikes killing Afghans and spoke about it. I don’t think he realizes how the details of the war are lost on the general public.

You know guys, it’s ok to defend the left if you honestly think they are being criticized wrongly. It’s ok to point out something decent about the other side. IT’S OK.

Except, of course, for Hillary. There is nothing decent about her.

Wasn’t it you that struck Honora as a kind of stalker? Looks like I’m yoru a new target.

Bradky on August 16, 2007 at 12:04 AM

Actually, it was several of us (can’t let RightWinged get the credit on that one proud moment), and we also caught her coming on after the open enrollment under another name. And was banned again.

We know Honora, and you are no Honora…she actually had some pretty funny and clever things to say in her own leftist, twisted mind.

The funny part about the whole flap around Obama is that Hillary has to do nothing — she knows that the knee jerk reactions on the right about Obama get her more mileage than any she could personally do.

This assertion is not supported by the facts. Hillary’s campaign has been singularly focused on assisting “the Messiah” look like the Illinois general assembly nothing that he is, and then screaming about it moments later.

It’s true that she doesn’t need to do anything, but it’s not true that she isn’t doing anything. I am not sure why you think that.

Now you are having imaginary conversations with me! Too rich.
Slowly step away from the keyboard and get some fresh air, you need it.

Bradky on August 16, 2007 at 1:38 AM

Ah, as always, failure to respond to anything I say, yet obsessively needing to reply with another pointless drive-by. And it’s not called an “imaginary conversation”, it’s called beating you to the punch because you libs are so predictable. Again, given your history if idiocy and dishonesty, I make sure I cover all bases because you people like to come back and avoid responding to specific points by focusing on one bit to divert the whole conversation. But you know this. I get tired of going back and forth when I can hand you your ass all at once.

You’re a different bird though. You just choose to bicker without ever addressing things I’ve said, because you’re a troll. You’re not arguing anything here, you’re just here to be a pain in the ass.

Look at your last few comments. That is Troll talk all the way. But I need air, you’re right.

(and before you pull a “you started it” over me calling you stupid, again, I didn’t want to have to, but there was no other way to make my point

Give it up dude. Like your late great blog no one cares except you.

Bradky on August 16, 2007 at 12:48 AM

OH, hitting me where it hurts! A blog that I hardly ever used and still got 500+ hits a day 6 months after I stopped using it, and is down only because I had hosting problems and because I DON’T CARE. Man, do you ever get tired of being the most retarded person on here and always being wrong. Think about that, you are saying my blog is “late great” because no one cares, when in reality it’s only gone because I don’t care… if I wanted to invest the time I could get it up again, but it’s simply not a priority for me now.

As for not caring, why then are you responding? Yeaaaaaaaaah, that’s what I thought guy. Can’t wait ’til the next time you reveal your always amazing logic skills for us though.

What’s really funny is you keep trying to attack me as some young naive kid (which first of all, is ridiculous because as everyone knows people tend to trend conservative with age), yet your tactic is to mock my blog? HAha, nice. (and before you pull a “you started it” over me calling you stupid, again, I didn’t want to have to, but there was no other way to make my point. You were attempting to act as if I have no way to know you’re a Dem… I admit, I don’t, but based on how stupid your comments consistently are and the your lack of honesty and logic, it’s a pretty safe assumption that you’re a Dem, or perhaps that the party just isn’t far enough left for you.

Troll on.

Embrace your bias and arrogance tightly youngster. In the cold dark night it is all you have left. Best of luck in find meaning to your existence. I’m done givng you the free therapy you so desperately need.

Bradky on August 16, 2007 at 12:04 AM

Okay psycho, first of all I don’t believe I was this person you’re talking about… secondly… That “embrace your bias” line doesn’t get any cooler, or make any more sense the more you repeat it.

And no, what I have is honesty and a disdain for insanely dishonest folks like yourself.

Oh to be twenty something and the smartest guy in the world…

Bradky on August 15, 2007 at 9:56 PM

Yeah, like when you assert that the country is evenly divided 50/50 Dem/Repub, and pretend you corrected… even though you didn’t, and continue to be dishonest about what the stats say, among your countless other dishonest and insane comments you’ve posted. Again, it’s not just an attack or know it all thing, because half the time it’s not an “opinion” disagreement. It’s that you’re just that stupid. Again, I’m not trying to call you a name, but that’s just how it is. And because of the level of stupidity, it’s clear what party you align yourself with (unless you’re a Ron Paul supporter and the only “real” Republican around here).

Middle name Arabic? Manchurian candidate
Father is Muslim? Got to be a plant ready to bring Sharia law unto the land
Statement taken out of context? Hates the troops

AP is not the problem – it is willing dupes who just can’t let the Dems beat each other up. Doing a helluva job I might add as well.

Before you fire off the expected volley, take 30 seconds and think about it.

But you don’t have to identify yourself, your idiocy is telling enough.

RightWinged on August 15, 2007 at 9:27 PM

He’s not “smearing” the military and I wouldn’t be defending him if he was and you know it.

Allahpundit on August 14, 2007 at 3:59 PM

Nice spin job, Allah. I guarantee Obama’s campaign doesn’t have anyone as talented as you to do this for the candidate. Read everything they put out on this and then call me a liar, but I said it here first: this is by far the best defense dickhead Obama will get for his idiotic pandering.

I’m glad that the impertinent commenters here get the same benefit of a doubt that dipshit leftist Democrats get from you. They do, right?

Bradky on August 15, 2007 at 6:20 PM

Bradky, and I mean this honestly not as some “name calling” personal attack… but I can’t say it without name calling… for someone to say the stupid things you do, they would have to be a Democrat. Sure, you may not be registered one, because the party isn’t quite insane enough for you yet… But you don’t have to identify yourself, your idiocy is telling enough.

RightWinged on August 15, 2007 at 4:06 PM

Slow is right curious fella with the Ky fantasy.

you said

Will you still be voting for the Hillary/Obama ticket? Placing someone you say isn’t ready for prime time as second in line for the presidency?

I’ve been posting here since Nov 06. Go ahead and find any of the posts in which I claim a particular party. Even if you can, which I doubt does it really matter? The discussions are interesting but I will challenge conventional thought to start a conversation. Otherwise I’d just start my own site “I’m a Republican/Democrat/Green (whatever) — Love me, agree with me, and don’t dissent”

More troop losses, less civilian losses; or vice-versa.

So, for each airstrike, we seem to have the option of losing either a dozen or two civilians, or a handful or more of our troops.

Anyone willing to answer the obvious question? What is the “breakpoint” ratio at which you’d switch policies? Obviously we’d be willing to run a plan expected to lose 1 troop member to avoid killing a million civilians. Obviously we’d be willing to run a plan expected to kill a civilian to save a million troops… but is there a magic ratio in which we should consider losses and restructure our strategy?

Since Obama is criticizing our current strategy, and recommending a different one (with a different ratio); perhaps he could explain at what ratio of expected civilian casualties to expected troop losses he’s willing to run a ground instead of an air campaign.

Somebody needs to make a rational decision based on understanding the actual comparison being proposed… I doubt Obama is willing to be that somebody.

I don’t believe that I’ve ever said I would vote for that ticket but feel free to prove that claim wrong.

Bradky on August 15, 2007 at 6:42 AM

Let me speak slowly for you Bradky… you’re a Dem, and the Dem nominee is going to be Hillary and her VP will be Obama (like Kerry, the opinion polls dictate who she picks, which is why we know it will be him… plus we’re all sexists and racists if we don’t vote for that ticket)… So I’m asking, will you vote for that ticket (placing Obama second in line for the presidency), even though you say Obama isn’t ready to be president. I’m not saying you’ve claimed you’d vote for that ticket, I’m assuming you’re going to vote for the Dem ticket over the Republicans? Or are you a principled Green still holding out hope for Nader or something?
