   If they were interested in being accurate, you could just replace all of column C with “Mistakes” or a more colorful term like “Phucuppery”!

   Osama Bin Laden’s head should have been on a stick a long time ago. Pres Clinton let Osama slip, and Pres Bush allowed Osama to slip. My hope is that Pres Obama follows through.

   It ain’t about words and labels, it is about deeds.

   Maybe I could tell the police that I didn’t rob the bank, I just made an “Unauthorized, Undocumented Withdrawl”.
   I didn’t shoot the guard, it was a “Bank Contingency”.
   I wasn’t speeding away from the crime, I was driving at an “Unauthorized Velocity”.

   But, something tells me they’d just be laughing all the way to jail.

    I agree.

    One could say that Clinton might not have known how dangerous he was.

    In Bush’s case, the Democrats and every crackpot liberal/socialist/communist/anarchist group was trying to make Bush out to be the real danger, not OBL. Can you imagine the uproar if Bush went into Pokeestan too?

    Obambi considers OBL more of a political red herring than a danger, and would be more likely to prosecute him than bomb his butt. Before the “one” can do much of anything about OBL, he will have created a bigger problem here by importing the Gitmo detainees and eventually have released them into the population, or rather, the terrorist cells already here. It is looking like he will drag the war on terror to the U.S. with his laughable diplomacy efforts, which Iran and NK are already laughing at.

    I’m going to assume that you know nothing about the military or warfighting because your statement basically says you know nothing about the military or warfighting.

    Words, labels and deeds are tied together in what we call “communication” which is the science of telling someone else what you’re doing or thinking. And Obamas lables have been talking as loud as his deeds.

    Obama has been communicating loud and clear to the troops since day one. And they’ve hear him.

    First he has refused to acknowledge the tremendous victory the surge was in Iraq. That tells the troops “You suck. I ignore your efforts.”

    Then he told the troops that he’s going to drop charges against the terrorists who bombed the USS Cole. That tells the troops “You suck. I hope you all get killed.”

    Then he told the troops that he’s going to take the terrorists in Gitmo that they’ve been guarding for years and dump them in American neighborhoods. That tells the troops “You suck. I hope these madmen made your lives half as miserable as they’re going to do to your families.”

    Then he said that he’s going to pull all the troops out of Iraq… except for 50,000 which don’t count. That tells the troops “You suck. You’re not worth counting.”

    Then he decided to charge the troops for their medical. That tells the troops “You really suck. Just die already.”

    Then he decided that the war on terror isn’t a war, it’s a contingency… an exercise. That tells the troops “You suck. Your blood means nothing to me.”

    Honest to God I’m surprised that anyone will lift a rifle for this incompetent fool.

    Rather than prosecute him, Obama could designate him as “special advisor on Islamic relations”. Pelosi/Reid/Kennedy/Murtha would be all for that.

    Very sloppy thinking. Words matter. If we can’t agree on the definition of words, how can we discuss, argue and/or deliberate on our way to forming a consensus so that our deeds mean something?

    If only deeds count, we are back to the illiterate dark ages.

    [Yes, I know that under the new regs, the Acceptable Term has been changed again. I'm an old coot, cut me some slack!]
    

    Thanks! That is one of the most concise statements of President Lamech’s (A.K.A. “Stinky”, A.K.A. “President Cockroach”, A.K.A. “TOTUSes’ Meatpuppet”) unvoiced statements to the Armed Forces I’ve ever read.

    Of course, no one but a current or former AD/Resrvst will notice, and perhaps their families.

    Maybe his being tripped off into uncontrollable giggling when ever an interviewer mentions that the average person’s private retirement funds are being destroyed will wake them up. I seriously doubt it, however.

    Final Inspection was moved (by Housing) to Monday at 1000h. It seems the Civvie contractor “just didn’t show up” for work that day… and apparently this isn’t uncommon practice for him, either. Fire him? What non-sense! He’s a politically connected fellow, after all! ;~

    Moving into TLF Monday. Probably last comments during this weekend. [I don't have the patience for dialup, besides, they charge $1/"incident" + long distance...]

    Don’t argue w/me abt ChiTown & CA pizza — those are different animals. USA pizza started in NYC, and its the most like Granny’s…
