Obama’s untiring reminder that he did not vote for the war as though a state senate vote was equivalent to one in Washington, I find glaringly ironic that he would be in favor of his own brand of unilateral action on the border of Pakistan.

It was his Macaca moment. I liked him (but did not agree with his positions) when he started out. It is apparent now that he is in way over his head. He is the 21st century version of Dan Quayle.

Sometimes?

Clever analogies, especially Macaca.

Obama’s untiring reminder that he did not vote for the war
i musta missed that one.
i know the part about him being opposed to the war when that was a very unpopular (and unpolitic) position.
what issue involving the invasion of iraq was up for a vote in the illinois state senate?
I find glaringly ironic that he would be in favor of his own brand of unilateral action on the border of Pakistan.
irony? perhaps, but far overshadowed by the ludicrous incongruity of a tough-talking self-proclaimed war president/commander-in-chief of his own self-proclaimed global war on terrorism--who's loudly and repeatedly promised to unleash death and destruction on any nation state unable or unwilling to prevent al quaeda from operating within its borders--paying billions of dollars to a so-called ally who openly agrees he has no intention of capturing or killing al quaeda's top leadership even as they wander freely within the national boundaries of our erstwhile ally's dictatorial domain.
our primary targets should have been and should still be bin laden and al-zawahiri. it's about fuckin time we stop coddling musharraf.

As Kerry stated many times during the last election we lost that opportunity at Tora Bora.

we lost that opportunity at Tora Bora.
if we all were of the same live-and-let-live persuasion as musharraf seems to be--at least when it comes to dealing with those more potentially dangerous than elderly supreme court justices--and if we could be sure those who escaped into khyber, kurram, bajaur, mohmand and orakzai as well as both north and south waziristan could never again find their way back to the world, simply writing off bin laden and his egyptian karl rove surrogate would be less problematic.
as i wander further into the mist of pre-post-early onset senility, i find myself increasingly less able to recall everything kerry said during the 2004 campaign. i certainly don't remember him suggesting--much less actually concluding--we'd never again have an opportunity to capture bin laden, al-zawahiri & their lil playmates. just the opposite actually.
it's all pretty much a blur but i think i heard kerry commit to making capturing bin laden more of a priority than george w bush's disappointing emulation of oj simpson hunting for his wife's killer at golf courses all over the world. (if osama was hidin in a brush pile somewhere near crawford, tx, sooner or later we could be sure ol lonesome george would be haulin him off to justice; when it comes to clearin brush that man is easily no worse than anyone else,)

It is apparent that you cannot even discuss issues that are not related to Bush in a civil tone. You are becoming Col Light, as your responses show a decided lack of research on your part, and a clear hatred of a person not germaine to this particular discussion.
