New Strategery for the Great Society Deal

Lyndon Baines Obama embraces a non-escalation escalation, and tries on Rudy 9u11iani's favorite dress:

...So let me be clear: al Qaeda and its allies – the terrorists who planned and supported the 9/11 attacks – are in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Multiple intelligence estimates have warned that al Qaeda is actively planning attacks on the U.S. homeland from its safe-haven in Pakistan...



Obama announces fealty to the Pentagon, with Poppy and Slick Willie's puppeteers pulling the strings


Obama looks uncomfortable, as you would too with both of those hands up your colon.

Meanwhile,
...Gates has hinted that the withdrawal of combat brigades will be accomplished through an administrative sleight of hand rather than by actually withdrawing all the combat brigade teams...

"They will be called advisory and assistance brigades," said Gates. "They won't be called combat brigades."

Obama’s decision to go along with the military proposal for a "transition force" of 35,000 to 50,000 troops thus represents a complete abandonment of his own original policy of combat troop withdrawal and an acceptance of what the military wanted all along - the continued presence of several combat brigades in Iraq well beyond mid-2010.

National Security Council officials declined to comment on the question of whether combat brigades were actually going to be left in Iraq beyond August 2010 under the policy announced by Obama Feb. 27...

Slick Dick trick, that: Iraq will not have combat troops, just advisors. Now where have I heard of that one before? And why do I feel that history is not just rhyming, but rhyming badly?
