Confirmed: President Obama wants the United States to fail in Afghanistan

Yesterday, some moron liberal left this comment in my comment section of a posting that I made about the Ft. Hood Speech that Obama Gave:

Say, Pat, do you happen to know *why* Obama was 40 minutes late to give the speech?

He was talking to wounded survivors of the attack.

Really, though, it was a perfect situation for you–suppose he had cut short that meeting? Then you could have slagged him for insulting the survivors by running off to the speech.

To Wish I replied back:

Your opinion, of course.

You somehow miss the fuller point. The man is a damned empty suit. He has no true feelings for our Military. He only cares about his political record. I am sorry, I tried giving him the benefit of the doubt. But it is quote obvious, that he just doesnot care. If he did, he would order a congressional investigation into the rampage and call it what it was, A TERRORIST ATTACK! But he does not do that; because he either secretly agrees with this mans actions or is at last sympathetic to the Jihadists cause.

Of course, this doesn’t surprise me that you don’t get this; most socialists liberals are that dumb.

Now comes the news of the confirmation of what I stated:

President Barack Obama does not plan to accept any of the Afghanistan war options presented by his national security team, pushing instead for revisions to clarify how and when U.S. troops would turn over responsibility to the Afghan government, a senior administration official said Wednesday.

That stance comes in the midst of forceful reservations about a possible troop buildup from the U.S. ambassador in Afghanistan, Karl Eikenberry, according to a second top administration official.

In strongly worded classified cables to Washington, Eikenberry said he had misgivings about sending in new troops while there are still so many questions about the leadership of Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

Obama is still close to announcing his revamped war strategy — most likely shortly after he returns from a trip to Asia that ends on Nov. 19.

But the president raised questions at a war council meeting Wednesday that could alter the dynamic of both how many additional troops are sent to Afghanistan and what the timeline would be for their presence in the war zone, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss Obama’s thinking.

This my friends, is a strategy for failure. This President just does not care about winning the war on terror. All President Obama cares about is passing his rather idiotic social agenda. If President Obama knew that it would not “Deep Six” his poll numbers; he would pull the United States of America out of Iraq and Afghanistan in a New York Minute.

My friends, elections have consequences —- and this is one of them. Keep this in mind, come 2010.

Lou Dobbs leaves CNN

The Video: (Transcript here)

The Story via the ol’ Grey Lady’s Media Decoder:

Lou Dobbs, the longtime CNN anchor whose anti-immigration views have made him a TV lightning rod, said Wednesday that he is leaving the cable news channel effective immediately.

Sitting before an image of an American flag on his television set, he said “some leaders in media, politics and business have been urging me to go beyond the role here at CNN and to engage in constructive problem solving as well as to contribute positively to the great understanding of the issues of our day.”

Believe or not; I actually admire Lou Dobbs for his decision to speak out on the issue that everyday Americans like me care about. Believe it or not, it was a line from one of Lou Dobbs’s shows that gave me my original inspiration to begin Blogging. One night, Lou Dobbs responding to the liberal accusation that he was a Republican, responded with a line that really made me think. —- “I am a Populist.” ——  Thus was given me the inspiration to name my original blog. Now, as time went on and the 2008 election cycle began, way back in 2006; my views began to shift more toward the right, and I found myself highly disagreeing with the far left.

In December of 2007, Russian hackers were sniffing around my blog, after a stupid move in my part to make a rather idiotic setup change and because of some incredibly lousy hosting — and maybe because of a dumb error or two on my part, my Blog was hacked to heck and back! Two years worth of writing; gone, just like that. Well, by the time the ruskies got me, my political ideology had shifted much to the right of the center —-much so even more now, and I decided to make change. I dumped the old domain name, that had by then not actually fit me at all. Thus Political Byline was born on Blogspot.com. It initially was more about News. But as I went along, I began to actually write from a right of center standpoint.  From there, I got my own hosting, after Google, who owns Blogspot decided to selectively enforce its rules on hate speech; they claimed it was an error, I took zero chances and with a little help from a Friend, I was able to raise enough to pay for some hosting. That little deal didn’t work out, as I was told one thing and given another. I am now at a excellent hosting service and get it for a excellent price. I also am running on some of the best servers in the business. I am truly blessed with this service and I do not take it for granted for one minute.

Anyhow, the rumor mill is that Dobbs will end up either on Fox News or over Fox Business Network. Which would be a good thing, as Dobbs agrees with Fox News’s ideology. I’d prefer watching him over Sean Hannity any day of the week.

DC sniper John Allen Muhammad has been executed

I remember this story, like it was yesterday:

He was happy to watch the sniper die.

“I feel better. I think I can breathe better,” Nelson Rivera said as he watched the execution of convicted killer John Allen Muhammad. “I’m glad he’s gone because he’s not going to hurt anyone else.”

Rivera’s wife Lori Ann Lewis-Rivera, was one of Muhammad’s 10 victims in a three-week killing spree in the Washington, D.C., area in October 2002. She was gunned down as she vacuumed her van at a Maryland gas station in 2002.

Muhammad taunted police with written messages and phoned-in threats and demands.

He was put to death at the Greenville Correctional Center in Virginia Tuesday night as the victims’ families sat behind glass while watching, separated from the rest of the 27 witnesses.

The execution came hours after Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine denied a last-minute clemency request and a day after the

Supreme Court declined to intervene in the case.

Muhammad was declared dead at 9:11 p.m.

via Families of DC sniper victims celebrate John Allen Muhammad’s execution.

I, like many others, were glued to the television, for me it was CNN, watching as this story played out. I, like many others, were still raw after 9/11. CNN never did put the terrorist connection on it. Even though the killer admitted that his motives were of a Islamic terrorist sort. What makes me so damned angry, is the fact that the Liberal media likes to paint this bastard as some sort of a victim of war. The common excuse is that he was driven crazy by the first gulf war. Sorry, I do not buy that idiotic bunch of tripe at all. I know many people who served in that first gulf war; one man personally, while he did have a nasty cough, that he could not shake. He never killed anyone, at all. The sad fact is; that the Ft. Hood shooting and this case are two peas out of the same damned pod, and the idiotic liberal media just will not put the two together. Because they fear a backlash from the Muslim community.

As much as I know, that it will most likely get me attacked for saying this, I happen to agree with this guy here:

I will simply end with this; this is one black man, that I am extremely glad to see is dead. One terrorist down, many millions more to go.

Pardon Me Mr. Raghead, May I see some ID Please?

That’s about what it has come to, isn’t it?

A Marine reservist armed with a tire iron beat and chased a man he thought was an Arab terrorist and even called 911 to say he was detaining the man, police said.

But the man he assaulted was actually a Greek Orthodox priest visiting from overseas who spoke limited English, police said.

That’s why police arrested reservist Jasen D. Bruce on a charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.

Police said they’re also investigating whether Bruce, 28, committed a hate crime.

via Tampa police: Marine reservist attacked Greek priest he mistook for terrorist – St. Petersburg Times.

Oops. Honest mistake. To say that he overreacted; would be an understatement.

Then officers went to Bruce’s apartment to speak to the reservist again. But he already had an attorney with him and refused to speak, police said.

The priest was treated and released from the hospital.

Records show Bruce was released from the Hillsborough County jail at 8 a.m. Tuesday on $7,500 bond. His occupation is listed as sales manager of a Palm Harbor pharmacy.

Good on him for getting the Lawyer. Wonder if he has been sneaking some of “Mother’s little helpers” for himself? —-  and Gay Modeling?!??! Ew!

Barry's Ft. Hood Speech

I was not going to even waste my bandwidth on it. But seeing everyone else is; I guess I will do also.

Marc Ambinder is basically masturbating over this speech.  I found it very well executed; but devoid of any real emotion. I also have found out, via a very reliable source that the President was over forty minutes LATE in arriving to give this speech; which leads me to believe that he felt obligated to give the damned thing. In order words, he really does not give a flying leap about these people at all, he is just doing it, because he has to.

Anyhow, here is the speech:

It also appears that not every person on the left, that heard it, was impressed.

Bear in mind that the same person, that gave this speech, is the same person who said this during the campaign: (H/T Macsmind)

Just words…..Just Speeches….

Mao-Worshiping communist Anita Dunn to step down at end of the month

This little tip comes via Amanda Carpenter on Twitter:

White House communications director Anita Dunn will step down from her post at the end of the month and Dan Pfeiffer, her deputy, will take over, according to sources familiar with the move.

Dunn, a longtime Democratic media consultant, took over the job on an interim basis earlier this year when Ellen Moran abruptly left the post to take a job at the Commerce Department. Dunn will remain as a consultant to the White House on the communications and strategic ends.

via The Fix – Dunn leaving White House, Pfeiffer takes over.

From what I read she will be staying on as an consultant on the outside. But at least she is out of the White House. Of course, she will be close to the White House and the Administration; so, I do not think that we should remove her totally from the radar screen. What is more important is the fact that President Obama has surrounded himself with this sort of people; straight up Marxists who hate this Country and it’s founding principles. That alone should be enough to alarm anyone. But we do not live in society anymore; where people actually care about whom or what surrounds our President. We just elect them and then go back to our normal lives.

This is not to say that President George W. Bush was any better; Bush surrounded himself with yes men and with warmongering Wilsonian Conservatives — Commonly known as Neo-Conservatives. These people urged President Bush to go to war with a Country that had zero to do directly with 9/11. They proceeded to basically drive his Presidency square into the ground. When it was over with, the Nation, including Conservatives; just wanted him out.

That is the problem with a Country such as ours; the office of the Presidency is a difficult one to fill. Because there are two types of leaders; those who surround themselves with people who will tell them the things that they want to hear and those who surround themselves with people that tell them the things that they NEED to hear. Unfortunately, this President and the one before him have chosen the latter of those to types of people —- and we are a worse off Nation because of it too.

Quote of the Day

When Rupert Murdoch first bought The Wall Street Journal, one of the few major newspapers charging readers for access, he suggested that he would soon remove the tollbooth in order to promote bigger readership and more ad views. Now, just a couple of years later, he is realizing that The Journal had it right, and ultimately protected the integrity of itself as a publication by keeping itself intact.

And it’s not as if Google is in this merely for the public good. Google makes its money by keeping everyone else’s content open to its searches and the ads that are stacked up alongside them. A world of open content is a world that is open to Google.

Sure, it’s hard to argue against the openness of a Google universe without coming off as dark, begrudging, and conservative as someone like, well, Rupert Murdoch. And as a professional journalist who nonetheless champions a “people’s” Internet, I am happy to compete against the thousands of amateur bloggers out there reporting and commenting on the same stories I do. But the competitive advantage professional journalism enjoys over the free is just that: professional journalists, whose paid positions give them the time and resources they need to commit more fully to the task. If we can’t do better, so be it. But at the current rate, we won’t have the opportunity to find out.

Of course, Murdoch’s remarks are really just a trial balloon. He has initiated a conversation—but one that few of us are in a position to back up with a multibillion-dollar media empire. By suggesting that he is ready to pull the plug on universally searchable news, he is inviting other publishers in the same position to consider taking the same leap.

I, for one, hope they do.
