Spoils of War
In a news dump Friday a week ago, the president abandoned a big chunk of his health care plan. Last Friday he abandoned Iraq. Only this time it really was Bush’s fault. Bush negotiated the withdrawal late in his administration. Obama tried to extend the Status of Forces agreement to allow 3,000 troops to to remain, but couldn’t get an Iraqi agreement on immunity from criminal prosecution for killing people and breaking things. So, he claimed credit for fulfilling a campaign pledge, took his army, and went home.
Horse Sense
I got this idea from a Rich Lowry column.
Osama bin Laden famously talked of the weak horse and the strong horse. Obama is the show horse.
For the record, the Show Horse picked Kansas to beat Ohio State in the March Madness final in April.
Whacky WikiWorld
WikiLeaks leader, Julian Assange, doesn’t care for the United States’ meddling in world affairs. Yet his recent document dump showed that it’s Iran’s Arab neighbors who most want the U.S. to take out Iranian nukes. Other tasty morsels include a very close relationship between Putin and Berlusconi, Sarkozy as a “naked emperor“, an Afghan vice president with $50 million in cash, and Gadhafi’s voluptuous Ukranian nurse.
