Coulter attacks Obama over Afghanistan: Putting more troops there is ‘insane.’
Coulter attacks Obama over Afghanistan: Putting more troops there is ‘insane.’
During her speech at CPAC today, right-wing loon Ann Coulter said we owe “a thank you to George Bush for keeping us so safe.” That comment earned a rousing ovation from the audience of conservative activists. Coulter then proceeded to claim Obama is continuing Bush’s national security policies, before attacking him over Afghanistan:
The one real problem with Obama on national security is… he’s putting more troops into Afghanistan, which is insane. This has been the focus of the terrorists — they’re all streaming across into Iraq, where we can win. Now it’s gonna be in Afghanistan, which could well be another Vietnam.
So for politically correct reasons, we’re moving the focus of the war on terrorism to a very bad place for us. The Russians couldn’t win there. Peter the Great couldn’t win there. Oh, but maybe the messiah can win there, ok.
Interestingly, the attack by Coulter didn’t seem to receive any reaction from the audience, positive or negative. Watch it:
Isn’t coultergeist the same person who refused to hear anything about problems in afghanistan, and who insisted that the afghan campaign was going “swimmingly”?

Someone should explain to Big Disgusting Annie that Afghanistan is where the terrorists have been all along and where we should have been fighting…all along.
Iraq is the Disneyland for anyone with a grudge against the United States.

February 28th, 2009 at 4:31 pmIs President Obama going “all the way with LBJ?”
by James K. Sayre
Is President Obama trying to copy the failed notions of President Lyndon Baines Johnson (LBJ), with his policies of “guns and butter,” as he pursued social progress on the domestic front and imperialism abroad (wars on Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos). By the time President Johnson was driven from office in the Presidential primary elections in early 1968, his record and his legacy were left in shambles.
President Obama is showing early signs of this same sort of moral failure abroad with his remote drone murders of Pakistanis (war crimes), his escalation of our illegal, brutal, ongoing seven-year-old military occupation of Afghanistan (war crimes) and his notion of indefinitely keeping some fifty-thousand American soldiers in Iraq to “protect American interests” (war crimes). Will they just happen to be hanging around Iraqi oil wells? Hmm…
President Obama is also following the Bush gangster regime’s medieval tyrant viewpoint that Afghanis being held in the US Air Force Base in Bagram, Afghanistan have absolutely no human rights at all; that they have no rights to protest and appeal their endless indefinite imprisonment without charge to any American court of law. This is turning the human rights clock back some eight hundred years, to before the signing of the Magna Carta, by the English King John in 1215. As a constitutional scholar, President Obama should know that this is a bankrupt and evil policy that has no place in America today, and especially not in his Administration with its mantra of “change.”
Does President Obama believe that human rights end at water’s edge? He has made stirring speeches in defense of civil rights and human rights in his campaign to become President. Does he not feel in his heart of hearts that the Afghani people and the Iraqi people have the right to live free of brutal, hostile military foreign occupations? Maybe President Obama should try rereading our Declaration of Independence and thinking about it from the viewpoint of an Afghani or an Iraqi.
On a small bookcase near my desk and computer, I have a tall newspaper clipping with a picture of then Presidential candidate Barack Obama walking with several other officials through some ancient ruins in Amman, Jordan last July. It was an inspiring scene, especially so in the widely-held public view that as President, Obama would put an end to the arrogant, brutal imperialistic foreign policies of the Bush gangster regime.
In recent days, this newspaper clipping has sagged and then finally folded over on itself. Is this a premonition of a coming failure of President Obama to seek a new humanistic foreign policy, and instead, to fall back on continuing the failed Bush imperial aggression and criminal foreign occupations in the Middle East?
February 28th, 2009 at 4:33 pmLike other ambush predators, Ann lives by the “if it moves, bite it” philosophy. Its appeal is widespread amongst creatures whose evolutionary strategies favor limited higher-brain function, permitting quicker reaction times, as in gators, crocs, and sharks.
Guess that means we’ll be stuck with them forever.
Maybe I’ll open a tourist trap, where for the price of admission folks can observe them and see me wrassle’em.
February 28th, 2009 at 4:35 pmWell, since it was Bush’s decision to go into Afghanistan and Iraq, and it was Coulter’s insistence that Bush was merely listening to the “commanders on the ground”, and criticized Obama for not listening to the “commanders on the ground”….and the commanders on the ground asked for more troops and less air strikes to reduce civilian casualties, then why is she attacking him for simply doing what she insisted that he must do?
Why is Ann Coulter disagreeing with the “commanders on the ground”?
February 28th, 2009 at 4:36 pmgeez Jim – thanks for the buzzkill, but I don’t believe for a second Obama is unaware of LBJ’s shortcomings.
even if you’re an atheist, try to have a scrap of faith.
Nader is never going to be President.
February 28th, 2009 at 4:37 pmHer speech doesnt make much sense as it seems she is trying to hold two diametrically opposed beliefs at once.
February 28th, 2009 at 4:39 pmIt’s horrible to listen to people clap so enthusiastically when she spews really weak talking points which could be destroyed under scrutiny, for instance there has been numerous studies than since Bush’s “war on terror” terrorism has actually increased significantly, and most of it has been motivated by the Iraq war, a war which the American people were lied into .
Bush’s foreign policy has made the US much less secure, sure the consequences of it have not fully hit the US, Bush will be safely back at his ranch when they do, safe in the knowledge he has the best security money can buy, everyone else will have to live with the consequences.
February 28th, 2009 at 4:42 pmWhy would anybody anywhere even think of asking what Ann Coulter has to say about military strategy?

February 28th, 2009 at 4:52 pmAnn Coulter said we owe “a thank you to George Bush for keeping us so safe.”
Yeah, Bush kept corporate polluters safe. Bush provided safety to right wing radio and cable network hate mongers. Bush protected all the Wall Street thieves who stole trillions of dollars from American taxpayers. Bush gave safe haven to gun freaks, racists, war mongers, and religious extremists. Bush protected those who advocated torture and murder of innocent civilians in Iraq, Afganistan, Palestine, and Pakistan.
I could make a long list of sick and depraved interest groups that Bush kept safe but what’s the point?
February 28th, 2009 at 4:54 pmWhen do we get to see the reporting about all those great, new ideas the conservatives have for making America a better place? If those clowns are looking for the way forward from Coulter, Bolton, Limbaugh, and Gingrich they are looking the wrong way.

i agree. i think disregarding afghanistan is the mistake we made long ago, once the soviets were out. now, if the true reason we *have* to remain in afghanistan is the huge afghan/pakistan/india power vacuum (inter- as well as intra-nationally, i think) that would result if we cruised, we can no longer have as a goal improving the lives of afghanis.
i think containment and political isolation are the best we can hope for in terms of afghanistan, and even that is presuming a civil war doesn’t break out (in afghanistan, pakistan, and/or india), in which case all bets are off.
is this off-topic? you decide.

so is the question how does one neutralize or counter this kind of nonsensical attack dog? that’s a good question, ’cause it seems that to varying degrees dang near every right-wing talk show host qualifies for that description.
and again, i ask: does anyone listen to her anymore? especially on afghanistan. it seems like most people have conceded they don’t really remember what’s been going on in afghanistan for the last seven years; they’ve been too distracted by iraq. who thinks ann coulter, of all people, knows better what’s going on there? i mean seriously.

February 28th, 2009 at 5:03 pmWe should have always stayed focused on Afghanistan, and not Iraq. Ann Coulter needs to decide if she wants to listen to the Commanders on the Ground or which country harbors terrorists, Iraq or Afghanistan, pls make up your f**king mind! The earlier posts premise that Obama is becoming an LBJ is speculation at best. The man just took the oath for christ sakes and is only now defining his foreign policy. Pakistan and Afghanistan are more than just a mess…The Pakistani govt is more concerned with India right now and cleary they’re both unstable and possess nukes. Those drones were in place before Obama took office. Those strikes were out of his hands, sad to say. Before everyone gets their knickers in a twist, quit speculating, listen and learn. After 8 years of Bush the last thing we need is more gut reactions. I’m a huge fan of our President and I believe him….Geopolitics is a big dirty chess game.

There was another shooting incident this past week, in Florida this time.
Yet another angry white male decided he was entitled to settle his grievances w/ people he didn’t even know… he shot two LEGAL immigrants to death, and seriously wounded three others.
“Neighbor Crystal Lynn says “he did come up to me one time and asked me if I was ready for the revolution to begin and if I had any immigrants in my house to get them out.”
Sean Hannity did a bit this week on the coming conflict in America:
Civil War 11 52.38%
Revolution 5 23.81%
Unsure/Don’t Know 5 23.81%
The Church Shooter last year – Jim Atkisson, had Hannity’s book, along /w Michael Savage/Weiner’s, in his apartment.
When sentenced to life w/out parole, Atkisson SMILED.
He shot an unarmed 61 yr old woman to death IN HER CHURCH, simply because he thought she was a liberal and this was cause enough to kill her.
These people are freakin’ crazy, and dangerous.

The US should only focus the war on terrah in places that are “good for us” and the evildoers will all “stream into” places where the US knows it can win? What, they are drawn like helpless moths into a place where they are lethally out-manned and and out-gunned? I guess, by that logic, we should invade Canada. Just think how easy it would be to wage a war there! All the troops can come home on the weekends. And the terrorists will just stream in so we can shoot ‘em up from the border crossing booths. Coulter’s logic is seriously twisted.

One of Mussolini’s real accomplishments in Sicily was breaking the Mafia. He went all over the island, knocking down the stone walls the Mafiosi favored hiding behind to kill their targets, typically by shotgun. And he just flat out slapped their Cheneys in jail, period.
So the US comes along in WW II and “liberates” Sicily from the Fascists’ grip. They find the prisons just full of “political prisoners” who just happen to know the locals really well. Since they’re “political prisoners”, they must have been enemies of Tha Dou(he and therefore deserve to be set free.
And the US is now looking for people to put in charge of this new provisional govt they’re setting up… hey… mebbe these newly-freed “political prisoners” can help out here.
And thus the Sicilian Mafia was turned loose to prey on the civilian populace, AGAIN.
February 28th, 2009 at 5:44 pmReally, I think it’s time I consider a silent protest for when Coulter comes to Boston on her “debate” with Bill Maher in March. It’d be wonderful to see a whole bunch of people seated in the same area of the audience all turn their backs on Ann when she’s speaking.

Well knock me down with a feather, I agree with Coulter on something. Sending more troops into the valley of death is insane.
March 1st, 2009 at 12:44 amThe whole damn “War on Terror” is insane and based on lies. We should be bringing troops home, not sending more over. It is war for war’s sake – none benefit but the corporate merchants of death.
Bring all the troops home now! All!! Now!!!
The commanders on the ground asked him for more troops to combat the enemy with and less of the Bush regimes plan of unavoidably indiscriminate air strikes.
And the reason they asked him for this was because the air strikes were causing a disproportionate number of civilian casualties in relation to the number of enemy actually being killed. And that in turn creates more terrorists and enemy combatants for them to deal with, hence the longer it takes to get out.
So they asked President Obama for more troops to strike the enemy with so they could reduce the number of air strikes and thus reduce the loss of innocent human life.
When you take away all the right wing hype and diversionary nonsense all you have left is a President doing what we all tasked him to do and what Coulter always claimed Bush was doing, even though he never did.
Listening to his commanders on the ground.
March 1st, 2009 at 1:57 amCoulter may want to challenge Obama relative to Obama’s failure thus far to seek prosecution against George W. Bush for hate crimes.
George W. Bush committed hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism (indicated at http://andrewyu-jenwang.blogspot.com/2008/11/george-w-bush-is-loony.html “George W. Bush did in fact commit innumerable hate crimes”).
Bush was absolute evil.
Bush is now like a fugitive from justice.
Bush is a psychological prisoner.
Bush has a lot to worry about.
Bush can technically be prosecuted for hate crimes at any time.
In any case, Bush will go down in history in infamy.

March 1st, 2009 at 2:41 pmis this thinkprogress, or have we converted to thinkobama? i’m no fan of miss coulter, but war in afghanistan is ridiculous–as is war anywhere in the mid.east. i know its exciting that we have a capable president, but lets try to keep our heads on straight–he’s not god.
March 1st, 2009 at 3:38 pmShe should be sent to Afghanistan on a fact-finding mission for the next 25 years, so she’ll stop spewing nonsense.
March 1st, 2009 at 9:49 pmI ain’t no troll, as I hope some will recognize in here, but in this instance (and it’s the only one I know of), I agree with Ann Coulter. Putting more troops into Afghanistan IS insane.
Here’s the difference: She’s against it only as a knee-jerk reaction to Obama’s plan. No thought whatsoever is involved in her rejection of the plan.
For myself, I’ve known since 9-11 that any major power that has planned to subdue, control or conquer Afghanistan has FAILED MISERABLY in the end. The U.S. will be no different. There are very few facts to support anything less. Why has every nation hell-bent on subduing Afghanistan failed miserably in the end?
Because subduing the place simply AIN’T WORTH IT. There’s nothing there except poppies and their native cultures. It’s too far away to supply. It’s too large. It’s too mountainous. Its people are fiercely independent. Any power seeking to control Afghanistan is like any cocaine user: Proof positive that the power/person has too much hubris/money.
Just wait and see.

Of course he isnt. Nice strawman. Did I miss where someone said he was? The problem isnt that simple. We cant make the same mistake AFTER we created the Muhajadeen and leave the country to fall back into the hands of the nutbag warlords. I am not saying you are exactly wrong but we need to do some things before we leave that will make life endurable for the people who live there. Maybe some irrigation projects so they can raise something other than poppies. Schools that arent nutbag Madrassas. Hospitals. Roads. Had we done that after the Soviets left we wouldnt be having these problems there now. How can we do that with the extremists overwhelming all the rural areas. This is a big problem and I dont even know what the answer is at this point. Had we finished off al Queda and not gone into Iraq we could already had this done and be gone. At THIS point its a tragedy and I am not sure WHAT we can do. If we abandon these people again we will regret it. A long protracted war heaping more misery on them most likely isnt the answer either. This is a tough one and I dont see a simple answer. Leaving or staying we are taking a risk.
March 2nd, 2009 at 3:29 amIraq knows how to handle itself but not a Afghanistan, so obama is doing to right thing.
