Unserious

George Will, at Town Hall:

"This Will Not End Well-
Having vowed to "finish the job," Obama revealed Tuesday that he thinks the job in Afghanistan is to get out of Afghanistan. This is an unserious policy."

An unserious policy. As opposed, say, to the very serious policy of continuing to waste money and lives propping up the corrupt government of an ex-oil executive (that would be Karzai) who was put in power by the corrupt government of another ex-oil executive (that would be Bush) who showed no interest whatsoever in going after the real financiers of the terrorists, who he preferred to kiss and hold hands with.

Well, at least no one can say of Bush and Cheney that their war in Afghanistan didn't end well. It never ended at all.

Derek, you know who I am referring to- the number one supporters of Muslim radicalism for the last two centuries, the Saudi "government."

Don't play dumb with me.

Funny, you mock conservatives for "hating" muslims yet you do the same, merely pointing fingers at Mecca instead of the militants.

Derek,

Your comment deserves a real answer. I am pointing my finger at Riyadh, not Mecca. The Saudi "royal family" is a secular dictatorship which presides over one of the most restrictive societies on earth. They exploit Islam, through their promotion of the violent Wahabi sect, to advance their interests and manipulate Muslims around the world. This does not make them good Muslims any more than all of George Bush's blather about religion made him a good Christian.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnut Wrapup

 Well, I haven't done one of these in a while, but I thought it might be fun to see what the wingnuts are "thinking" lately, so let's just dive in: And the big news: "Breaking! Trump Just Truthed He's "The Real Commander-In-Chief" Well, he said it.  It must be true.  He "truthed" it! You know it wouldn't take long for this sort of "reporting" to happen: "Maui Directed Energy Weapon Assault, Like 9/11, Paradise, CA., Malibu and Boulder Fires" Of course, it can't be the result of global warming.  It must be the deep state attacking Hawaii for some reason.  That makes much more sense.  Here's a small selection of headlines from the dozens and dozens of other articles about this alleged treachery: "New Patriot Underground: Hawaiian Wildfire: Possible DEW Attack" Maui: "An Orchestrated Apocalypse" "Maui Hawaii Has DUMBs Underground 8 to 10 Sex Trafficking Tunnels We Just Lasered Them Out!

Hamas

  Of ocurse I am going to take the opportunity to talk about the Hamas attack on Israel.   First, I'd like to talk about my background, or baggage, regarding the country.   I have lived in Israel, some years ago.   This was not for religious reasons; I spent several months there working on a movie.   During pre-production, weeks of location scouting and shooting the movie, I was all over the country, and spent a fair amount of time in the West Bank, where we also shot.   This included a lot of places that normal tourists would not see, including predominantly Arab areas such as East Jerusalem, the Arab quarter of the old city, Ramla and the southern part of Jaffa, which is predominantly Arab.   It also included heavily Orthodox areas like Mea Shearim.   I dealt with Israeli Arabs, Palestinians and Bedouins.     Here are a few things I believe I learned there:   First of all, the Palestinians I knew were perfectly normal people with the same interest in living a safe, secure
