POPSSo Rep. Grayson, Enjoy Your Fifteen Minutes, For You'll Soon Be Revealed As A Selfserving Hack
These brave people do this not because they have no other options, as Senator and noted idiot John F. Kerry has so condescendingly asserted. They do this because they love their country and are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice in order to help preserve it. Republicans and FOX News, unlike the Democrats and their enablers and fellow travellers in the old media, can truly appreciate the depth of this commitment and sacrifice, consequently, fight wars with the intent of winning them, so as not to sacrifice such courage and dedication in vain. They do this without specious and whining claims about “messes left by their predecessors”, or taking weeks to make a decision so as to be in line with however the alpha sheep have caused the winds to blow that particular week. In short, they believe in leadership, not self-aggrandizing speechifying into every open microphone about their troubles. Alan, put simply, you are a detestable human being and a small man.

POPSObama Quietly Deploying 13,000 More US troops to Afghanistan In addition to the deployments under way, McChrystal has also requested an extra 40,000 troops he says are necessary to prevent the country falling into the hands of the Taliban. The Afghanistan president Hamid Karzai, today expressed support for McChrystal's request. "I'm fully behind him for what he's seeking in this report," Karzai told ABC's Good Morning America. As part of the internal debate, the US defence secretary, Robert Gates, who is cautiously supporting McChrystal, is due to meet later today the vice-president Joe Biden, who is opposed to the troop increase and favours a shift in priority to tracking down al-Qaida in Pakistan. A decision on McChrystal's troop request appears to have been postponed for a few weeks. Any extra troops will come as a result of a parallel reduction in the number of US troops in Iraq. A US military planner told the Army Times: "We've increased forces in Afghanistan before we've reduced forces in Iraq in a meaningful way.

POPSThe Creeping Homegrown Threat We have a major problem on our hands that no one is addressing, especially the Obama administration. After all, the Obama administration won't even use the term "radical Islam." If we cannot name our enemy, how in G-d's name are we supposed to defeat the enemy?

POPSThe Obama Hater's Silent Enablers "No matter. Last week it was business as usual, as Republican leaders nattered ad infinitum over the juvenile rivalry of Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich at the party’s big Washington fund-raiser. Few if any mentioned, let alone questioned, the ominous script delivered by the actor Jon Voight with the G.O.P. imprimatur at that same event. Voight’s devout wish was to “bring an end to this false prophet Obama.” This kind of rhetoric, with its pseudo-Scriptural call to action, is toxic. It is getting louder each day of the Obama presidency. No one, not even Fox News viewers, can say they weren’t warned."

POPSFacing Down Bullies (And Their Enablers) "And I didn’t give even a moment’s thought to the bullies, and what their lifetime prognosis might be. Parents of these children need to be encouraged to demand that schools take action, and pediatricians probably need to be ready to talk to the principal. And we need to follow up with the children to make sure the situation gets better, and to check in on their emotional health and get them help if they need it. How about helping the bullies, who are, after all, also pediatric patients? Some experts worry that schools simply suspend or expel the offenders without paying attention to helping them and their families learn to function in a different way."

POPSTotal Hypocrisy! MoveOn.org Needs to Move On The place for this to end is in the current White House, and it's interesting that the Barack Obama administration is "now open to theoretical torture investigations," precisely when a majority of Americans backs Tea Party protests against Democratic big-goverment taxing and spending policies. MoveOn.org was formed in 1998 as a lobbying group to support President Bill Clinton against GOP investigations into his personal conduct and corruption. The organization "started by passing around a petition asking Congress to 'censure President Clinton and move on', as opposed to impeaching him." Justice, fairness, and human rights are not at issue here. A rank power grab by one of America's greatest domestic enablers of terror is. MoveOn.org needs to move on, for the sake of the country, if not for its own credibility, since it has very little of that worth preseriving.

POPSPrezdint decides to "move on" Our feckless Prezdint has decided no prosecutions for either the torturers OR the enablers/authorizers like Cheney, Rove, Bush, Gonzalez...THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE and just one more reason I have come to despise Obama's policies...He has either sold out and/or stopped listening to the people who elected him! Shameful, Barry! Get real, man! This sends a very bad message on so many levels. WTF is he thinking? That the pain and sufering we as a nation can just be swept under the rug? What a wonderful world to be able to wield power to disapear and torture anyone and then just have the next guy in power ignore it. Grrrr.

POPSBatteries: The New Backbone A gleen revolution, as Friedman has been championing for a while now, becomes less of an original idea (globally) and more of a reality (locally) as more time passes by. It seems to be common sense that if we want to develop a new manufacturing industry, we should also be out front in developing those technologies.

POPSU.S. Eyes "Surge" of Over 20,000 for Afghanistan The United States has asked Japan and NATO allies that have refused to send troops to Afghanistan to fund an estimated $17 billion doubling of the Afghan army to 134,000 soldiers over five years. Gates has waged a nearly two-year campaign to recruit additional fighting forces from reluctant NATO allies, saying the military alliance would be weakened if some nations remained on the sidelines of the NATO fight in Afghanistan. He has seemed resigned, however, to accepting checks instead of troops from some European nations. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5i6u24j0kOEdx9NA14L-TVjlUg5sgD94JU0EG1

POPSFunnelling $ Right back Where it All Started Schumer hissyfits. Dems demand ACORN get FIRST returns of any profits from housing rescue. They have not heard distinctly or decisively enough, to this point, that we know their Freddie scam, we see it, we see their duplicity, but it does not hit them. They are still surrounded by enough enablers of their denial. They are indignant, blaming, unresponsive to reality. Idealogically bankrupt! THIS is not a time to funnel money to get people started into loans they will fail on. STOP IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

POPSPutin's war enablers: Bush and Cheney And BTW, this is not "Blame America First" (which would mean Bush/Cheney are America? Yikes!) but putting the blame where it belongs. Exceeding his political priorities and invading a weaker neighbor, Putin. Enabling him, Bush/Cheney.
