No the probable source of most of Southern Democrat\u2019s talking point drivel is also not happy.<\/p>\n<p>This is from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailykos.com\/storyonly\/2009\/3\/27\/713651\/-Afghanistanization:-But-Still-No-Exit-Plan\">Daily Kos<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>After 60 days of comprehensive reviews and leaks about differences over those reviews within the administration, no surprises have emerged in the new strategy for the &#8220;good war&#8221; in Afghanistan that President Obama announced today. Not even the slightest hint about when the U.S. troop commitment might end. And not a word about the 550 or more prisoners in the infamous Bagram prison, many of them previously tortured and still held without recourse to legal or humanitarian intervention.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While I think these wackos are dead wrong, I will give them credit for a spoonful of intellectual honesty.  Obama played them like his personal bitch and they aren\u2019t happy about it.  I say good on them, I\u2019d be pissed too if I was a leftist loon who supported a bunch of empty platitudes and discovered that he was just pissing on my leg the whole time.<\/p>\n<p>And we walked the walked.  I criticized President Bush on many occasions and don\u2019t get me started on McCain.  If some of you remember my old blog, he was Oxygen Thief of the Week, TWICE.  That\u2019s because I am a man of integrity and character secure in my own convictions.<\/p>\n<p>The cult of Obama is not distracted by silly things like conviction.<\/p>\n<p>See the post below and explain to me where Jon Soltz has any conviction or integrity for that matter.  Soltz is little more than a malcontent making a living shepherding a cult of malcontents.<\/p>\n<p>As for Southern Democrat\u2019s comment:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I believe I read on the wire today that the US is finally getting smart about Afghan, and is sending in civilians to help these people, not soldiers to kill them. We will finally do what should have been the first tactic and have people trained in well digging, agriculture, medicine, schooling, all sorts of benificial programs that will help to bring the people of Afghanistan out of the hole we drove them into.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That could be the most idiotic statement I have read all year.  I don\u2019t necessarily disagree with Obama\u2019s plan but understand something dumbass, this is Bush policy doubled down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It will never become full blown Bush Derangement Syndrome but some on the far left are &hellip; <a title=\"Leftist Pissed at Obama; Cultist Down with it\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=9219\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Leftist Pissed at Obama; Cultist Down with it<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":64,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9219","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9219","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/64"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9219"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9219\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9219"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
