OT: “Obama administration warns public to expect rise in US casualties”

[Arraya]

And yet, when I mention these factoids to my *liberal* friends and colleagues, they shrug and say, “Well, we’ve got a war on terror going on, you know?

This is funny in sad way. I’ve been going thru the same things with my supposed anti-war liberal friends about the escalation in pipe-line-istan or is it poppy-lanistan.

I predicted about 6 months ago that suddenly liberals would become pro-war and the main stream conservatives would suddenly start complaining about lack of coherent plan or no exit strategy or something that they would have deemed as anti-troops 2 years ago.

It is possible they could completely loose control of they money situation and the troops may have to hitch a ride home. Surely they will raid every pension and social security before the let that happens though. Hey, world domination is expensive.

Interesting article in Salon.com from Juan Cole, a leading lefty author, on the potential for Pakistan and Afghanistan to become Obama’s Vietnam. He likens the present situation to the one facing LBJ as he took office following JFK’s assassination in Dallas. He also warns that the present situation in that part of the world, like Vietnam in 1963, could wind up having a life of it’s own, outside of Obama’s ability to control it.

Great article, Allan. I wonder how many more troops and innocent civilians will have to die in this new front on “terror” before the Left Wing finally comes to its senses and realizes that they have been snowed? What do you think? Seriously, when I have these discussions with Democrats now they just sort of stare at me with a blank face, and then when I push them for a response they walk away, mumbling something about not wanting to be depressed.

I think you’ll find that most lefties believe that we should have been in Afghanistan and Pakistan all along. Not Iraq. You know, going after the guys who actually attacked us. To most lefties, shifting troops from Iraq to Afghanistan is a good thing. If we had surged into there rather than Iraq, things would be a lot different today.

Criticizing Obama for ramping up in Afghanistan is like criticizing the plumber who has to fix the toilet after you’ve stopped it up with a massive load of nasty, smelly shit.

Lefties aren’t against war. We’re against un-necessary, un-planned, un-managed wars.
