If this is indeed true....it's time for someone to show some resolve...War cannot be fought politically - it CANNOT!
Either commit and let the military do what they do best or leave...don't let it become another Vietnam.

Did Law Enforcement Blow the Denver Terrorism Investigation? - Andy McCarthy - The Corner on National Review Online:
A depressing report in the Washington Times about the ongong terrorism investigation (my column on it from yesterday is here). The Times suggests that turf warring between rival agencies — the FBI and the NYPD — prematurely blew the investigation before law enforcement could gather enough evidence to make a strong terrorism case against anyone."

George Orwell call your office. Again.
Was it only two months ago that Cong. John Carter (R-Tx) and a few other conservatives were protesting the Democrats’ censorship of their constituent mailings?
Yes, it was. When Judge Carter tried to describe Obamacare as “government-run healthcare” the House Franking Commission told him he couldn’t use the term in a constituent mailing that would be mailed for free as are most constituent mailings. Not only could he not use those words, he couldn’t use the words “Democratic Party.”"

U.N. climate meeting was propaganda: Czech president | U.S. | Reuters:
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Czech President Vaclav Klaus sharply criticized a U.N. meeting on climate change on Tuesday at which U.S. President Barack Obama was among the top speakers, describing it as propagandistic and undignified.
'It was sad and it was frustrating,' said Klaus, one of the world's most vocal skeptics on the topic of global warming.
'It's a propagandistic exercise where 13-year-old girls from some far-away country perform a pre-rehearsed poem,' he said. 'It's simply not dignified.'"

Big Government: ACORN still stands to make Millions
Despite a string of scandals that recently led Congress to cut off its federal funding, ACORN still stands to make millions of dollars off its support for Brooklyn’s controversial Atlantic Yards project, The Post has learned.
The left-wing organization — longtime boosters of the $4.9 billion NBA arena and residential- and office-tower project — says it expects to be tapped to market and help decide who gets to live in the coveted, but long-delayed, 2,250 affordable-housing units planned for Atlantic Yards."

American Thinker: Did America betray us? Or it was just Obama?:
It was the worst thing that the American government could do. This decision was announced on 17 September, when Poland was commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Soviet Invasion Day, when the Soviet Union allied with Nazis and stabbed our country in the back.
This was an effect of the Nazi- Soviet Pact that was signed on 28 August in Moscow. After this day, all dreams about resisting Hitler's invasion perished -- two evil empires combined their powers to destroy our freedom and sovereignty."
