Oh ya, they all have very intimate relations with our CIA, which includes terrorism and drugs/arms smuggling.

If this is really J Scott,

Yeah, I know what you’re saying man. I’m sure every American here has felt the same way. The only problem is that if we nuke ‘em we’ll probably decimate some non-shiteating muslims, and you know what all the bleeding-heart liberals would say about that.

It’s time for Congress to stop these “recess” appointments. Bush has consistently used them to put in people he knows won’t pass muster with Congress. If nothing else, it should define a recess as more than X number of weeks. There is no emergency that can’t wait a week to be addressed and to appoint a recess appointment when Congress will only be gone a week is a gross misuse of this ability.

The only Constitutional check on a dictatorial President is impeachment. And impeachment is still off the table. The Democratic majority is quite content to let Bush do whatever he wants, while keeping us entertained with oversight hearings.

Corruption upon corruption is unveiled, to what end? From January 5 to now, has there been any real changes? Bush’s surge moves forward. Military Commision “trials” move forward. Loyal Bushies still staff the Department of Justice. American citizens are still subject to warrantless surveillance. We are still imprisoning and torturing innocent people.

Impeachment is off the table, and so is any hope of restoring the rule of law.

On May 8, the Senate in Kabul approved a bill that called for negotiations with the Taliban, a ceasefire, and a date for the withdrawal of foreign troops. The proposed legislation demands that foreign forces should not engage the Taliban unless they are themselves attacked or have first consulted with the Afghan army, police and government.

We are bleeding lives, treasure and reputation all over the world but GDumbya “stays the course” without a clue of the residual consequences of his stupid and ill-informed decisions. It is past time to throw him out of office and begin to repair this country.

The situation in Pakistan is merely the most recent indication of how close to the tipping point GDumbya has brought us. The only — the only – asset we have in Pakistan is Musharraf. The most important nexus of any real War on Terror is along the Afghan/Pakistan border and GDumbya is trying to operate it by remote-control as a virtual after-thought because all his attention and resources are being used in an effort to fix the mess he created in Iraq.

GDumbya took his eye off the ball and he lacks the intelligence, resolve or moral fiber to rectify his numerous and monumental errors.

Afghan soldiers mass on border, ready and willing to take on old foe Pakistan

Since Sunday evening there has been a build-up of forces in the contested zone as hundreds of regular Afghan soldiers from the 203rd “Thunder” Corps, who had been fighting the Taleban, have deployed to the area to reinforce the beleaguered border police, bringing with them heavy artillery sent up from Kabul. “We can’t wait any more,” Brigadier Sanaoull Haq, a staff officer in the corps, said. “Now if anything further happens we will reply in kind.”
