Sounds like invading Afghanistan was a huge blunder.
Whose goofy idea was that, anyway?

Once again it's Obama's Afghanistan policies that are in play. Who
do you blame for the Vietnam War? I bet it's Nixon.


Actually it was Eisenhower who set up that failure.

One of our pleasures on the short visit to London was visiting
Regents Park and seeing the wide variety of bird life.

In particular the behavior of the coots attracted our attention
and I now understand the origin of the term "crazy as a coot"

Seeing the birds in action I called Donna's attention to
their behavior and that of Bill Bonde.

"Remember when Democrats used to criticize George W. Bush for golfing
at the wrong time?


Maybe there was a crisis somewhere; maybe someone had died in combat;
maybe legislation was being debated on the Hill. It didn't matter.
Every time Bush golfed, the Democrats woofed. So it is interesting to
see that Barack Obama went golfing today rather than attending the
funeral of Polish President Lech Kaczynski and his wife, Maria. This
is the 32nd time Obama has golfed since taking office less than a year
and a half ago.


Bush? He went golfing 24 times in eight years. If you're counting,
that's one-eighth of Obama's rate. No doubt we'll soon see stories
criticizing Obama for golfing while Washington (or Afghanistan,
perhaps) burns, right?"


"...Polish President Lech Kaczynski and his wife, Maria, along with
dozens of top Polish government officials were killed April 10 when
their airplane went down in heavy fog after clipping a tree on
approach to Smolensk, Russia.


Mr. Obama has not gone to the Polish Embassy in Washington since the
accident, but Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Vice
President Joseph R. Biden Jr. both have. There, they signed a
condolence book.


Mr. Obama has played golf far more often than former President George
W. Bush. In his eight years in office, Mr. Bush played just 24 times.
His last time as president was Oct. 13, 2003.


He said in 2008 that he gave up golf "in solidarity" with the families
of soldiers who were dying in Iraq.


"I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the
commander in chief playing golf," Mr. Bush said in a White House
interview Saturday with the Politico. "I feel I owe it to the families
to be as — to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think
playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal."


He stopped playing after he received word of a deadly attack in Iraq
while playing golf during a stay at the family ranch near Crawford,
Texas.


"They pulled me off the golf course, and I said it's just not worth it
anymore to do," Mr. Bush said in the interview.


Since Mr. Obama took office, 397 soldiers have died in Operation
Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. Another 151 have died in Operation
Iraqi Freedom"


Obie has played 32 rounds in 15 months vs. 24 for the 8 years of the
Bush administration. I am sure we will see articles on this in the
lamestream press and a new movie by the fat man. Sounds lioke he needs
that other vacation he'll be taking at that posh resort near Asheville
next week.


Since Mr. Obama took office, 397 soldiers have died in Operation
*Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. Another 151 have died in Operation
*Iraqi Freedom"

"President Eisenhower's Memoires, Mandate for Change, page
372, shows that he believed Ho Chi Minh would have won any
free election in Vietnam in 1956. This is certainly why the
U.S. did not permit such an election, though the Geneva
Convention of 1954 required it."

Actually the first advisers were sent in 1950. In 1959 troop levels
were 760 and 900 in 1960.

You are a very silly person. It is an acknowledged fact
that the Bay of Pigs operation was set in motion by
the Eisenhower administration. Certainly Kennedy could
and should have cancelled it but he may well have wanted
it to fail as it was bound to. You, Bill. NEED that link
- you are so ignorant about the events of that era you
need whatever sources are available to you.
