Long and detailed. It'll be about a light year ahead of y'alls liberal reading ability and cause substantial butthurt for this entire group as a whole. It outlines from day one of his admin the complete failure of this POTUS to understand how the world works and how his arrogance and naïveté has led to the chaos we currently find ourselves in- knee deep and sinking fast.

The people who gave us the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq which have destabilized the entire region would like to talk to us about foreign policy ...

... no, really ...

Early damning evidence -

With the breezy confidence that is his trademark, the president has repeatedly delivered a reassuring message on Iran to the country and the world: Trust me.
With respect, Mr. President: No.
From the earliest moments of his first term, Obama sought to convince the country that threats from our erstwhile enemies were overblown. He forged an approach to jihadist attacks and rogue regimes meant to be a stark contrast from that of his predecessor. He ended the war on terror, quietly sought rapprochement with radical Islamist movements like the Muslim Brotherhood and the Taliban, and ostentatiously undertook a more conciliatory approach to terror-sponsoring regimes like Syria and Iran.
Notwithstanding periodic drone strikes on bad guys, Obama has demonstrated repeatedly that his instinct is to ignore, dismiss, or downplay threats to the United States and its interests and allies. The record over six years is a long list of mistaken judgments, awkward euphemisms, and false assurances.
So when Nidal Hasan opened fire at Fort Hood it wasn’t a terrorist attack but “workplace violence.” And when Omar Farouk Abdulmutallab tried to blow up a Northwest Airlines flight over Detroit, he was an “isolated extremist.” And when Faisal Shahzad attempted to detonate an SUV in Times Square five months later, it was a “one-off” attack. And when jihadists attacked the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, it was a simple protest gone awry.
The problem in each of these instances wasn’t just that the descriptions were incorrect. It’s that the administration knew they were wrong and made the false claims anyway.

I doubt most of you Obama worshippers will read this because your head is so far in the sand regarding anything he does and you refuse to recognize how much of an armature hour the last six years have been.

Stephen Hayes, Call Your Editor

by Paul Sperry

"A relative no-name before the Iraq war, self-styled investigative journalist Stephen F. Hayes has made quite a career for himself peddling war lies for his neocon publishing boss Bill Kristol. But now, with the death and autopsy of al-Qaeda strawman Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, he's having to live down a real whopper.

Hayes, writing with the confidence and certainty of a Gospel author, has maintained that Zarqawi was severely injured by U.S. forces while fighting with al-Qaeda in Afghanistan after 9/11, whereupon he hobbled all the way to Baghdad for emergency medical treatment. After an "elite" hospital there amputated his leg, Hayes has asserted that Zarqawi was fitted with a prosthetic limb and was allowed to stay and recuperate in Baghdad as a VIP guest of Saddam Hussein's regime for months.

This has been his and the administration's Exhibit A evidence of a link between Saddam and Osama bin Laden. President Bush, Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell all cited it in speeches and interviews in the run-up to the war. It was red meat for neocons, and Hayes wolfed it down, even adding highly suspect details and embellishments leaked to him from Doug Feith's bin of secondhand defector rumors and hearsay that even the cavalier Bush officials wouldn't dare touch. Hayes thought details would make the claim sound more credible. Much to his chagrin, they just made it more outlandish.

Now, with Zarqawi's corpse on ice, even the Kool-Aid crowd can see the claim is demonstrably – and risibly – untrue. Alleged peg-leg Zarqawi had all his limbs. He had them in 2002 when he was allegedly hospitalized. And he had them last week, even after 500-pound bombs fell on him.

Yet the ever-gullible Hayes isn't backing off the fable – or the Kool-Aid..."

[...]

In a way, you have to feel sorry for a hack like Hayes. His book, a collection of scraps swept up from the Office of Special Plan's cutting room floor, is reducing to such thin gruel that even Sean "Hand Job" Hannity won't be able to cite it for very long. It's poetic justice that Hayes is doomed to spend the rest of his career having to defend it, along with his reputation as a "journalist."

Anyone else beginning to suspect that KarlRove is a troll?

No one is seriously that stupid. This has to be onion-style satire.

Just because you all sit with your head in the sand doesn't make you right, it just makes you a group of ostriches.

You mean bump it so it can receive further ridicule? You need to take a course in "How to Convince People."

Once again, War Hero's purpose has never, ever been to convince anyone of his point of view. War Hero is a serious PTSD victim and his only purpose is to rile and provoke other to respond to his idiocy. Reality.
