Why does Stephanopolis say “you guys continue this in the Green room” when there are 3 women and George Will?

What’s all this calling women “guys”? Does language mean a damn thing? Or should I have said “Like does language mean a damn thing like”?

From Rich:

“To appreciate this crowd’s spotless record of failure, consider its noisiest standard-bearer, John McCain. He made every wrong judgment call that could be made after 9/11. It’s not just that he echoed the Bush administration’s constant innuendos that Iraq collaborated with Al Qaeda’s attack on America. Or that he hyped the faulty W.M.D. evidence to the hysterical extreme of fingering Iraq for the anthrax attacks in Washington. Or that he promised we would win the Iraq war “easily.” Or that he predicted that the Sunnis and the Shiites would “probably get along” in post-Saddam Iraq because there was “not a history of clashes” between them.

What’s more mortifying still is that McCain was just as wrong about Afghanistan and Pakistan. He routinely minimized or dismissed the growing threats in both countries over the past six years, lest they draw American resources away from his pet crusade in Iraq.

Two years after 9/11 he was claiming that we could “in the long term” somehow “muddle through” in Afghanistan. (He now has the chutzpah to accuse President Obama of wanting to “muddle through” there.) Even after the insurgency accelerated in Afghanistan in 2005, McCain was still bragging about the “remarkable success” of that prematurely abandoned war. In 2007, some 15 months after the Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf signed a phony “truce” ceding territory on the Afghanistan border to terrorists, McCain gave Musharraf a thumb’s up. As a presidential candidate in the summer of 2008, McCain cared so little about Afghanistan it didn’t even merit a mention among the national security planks on his campaign Web site.”

The chickenhawk extremists here continue to sse war as the solution to every problem in other countries.

The extremists like Whiner, McCain, and Lindsay Graham who demanded that America divert its troops and treasure from Afghanistan to Iraq in 2002 and 2003 — when there was no Qaeda presence in Iraq — bear responsibility for the chaos in Afghanistan that ensued just as Rich says.

Let’s be clear: Those who demanded that America divert its troops and treasure from Afghanistan to Iraq in 2002 and 2003 — when there was no Qaeda presence in Iraq — bear responsibility for the chaos in Afghanistan that ensued. Now they have the nerve to imperiously and tardily demand that America increase its 68,000-strong presence in Afghanistan to clean up their mess — even though the number of Qaeda insurgents there has dwindled to fewer than 100, according to the president’s national security adviser, Gen. James Jones.

But why let facts get in the way? Just as these hawks insisted that Iraq was “the central front in the war on terror” when the central front was Afghanistan, so they insist that Afghanistan is the central front now that it has migrated to Pakistan. When the day comes for them to anoint Pakistan as the central front, it will be proof positive that Al Qaeda has consolidated its hold on Somalia and Yemen.

Where was this concern during the 8 years of Bush? They couldn’t find Afghanistan on a map except to lie about Tillman. And Bush’s liar was McChrystal.

Frank Rich nails McCain and the extremists here with their all of a sudden hypocritical urgency for Afghanistan.

The majority of people who can take over the nuclear weapons are located where the nuclear weapons are, in Pakistan. That’s what’s next of course. I’m surprised it hasn’t happened already.

If someone can tell me where the troops needed are going to come from, let’s hear it.

Meanwhile, let’s enact a Draft this week. That will bring the troops home.

Draft Draft Draft. Get those beer drinkin’ superficial learning Georgia babies out of the dorm rooms and into Afghanistan and let’s see how gung ho their bumper sticker SUV drivin’ mommas and daddies remain.
