Eh, I don't care whose idea it was to go in there (and I'd be bashing Obama if he was President and authorized this too). I don't think we're doing ourselves any favors by "raiding" (and how is that different from invading) Pakistan. It seems like we have have massive ADD when it comes to the Middle East. Let's go to Afghanistan and find the terrorists responsible for 9/11. Ok, go! OOoo there's some bad guys in Iraq. Let's go there and spread our troops out. OOO since we don't have enough on our plates lets go find bad guys in Pakistan now. Ready, set, fall apart!

There was a lot of disagreement on what the memorial should be like and who should have control. Here's an article with some comments from the mayor.

The Pentagon memorial looks very nice.

True, but let's not hide McCain, and even Bush, among the "among others."

I'm going to have to sit on this one.

Pakistan, our supposed ally, has not been cooperating with is on one of our more legitimate efforts. The joint chiefs just reported that the biggest threat to success in the fight against the Taliban and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan is the unsecured border with Pakistan. So in that regard, this is a huge leap forward for Bush - actually listening to what the people actually fighting the battles are recommending. Though the joint chiefs talked about "working more closely with Pakistan" rather than raids without permission, but permission was clearly not coming.

Heh, I'd forgotten all about Obama's comments.

I heard about this on Air America earlier today. When will Americans finally say "enough is enough" to the Republican dirty tricks?

I figured they were a given.....but you have to admit no one was louder than Hillary and her supporters(still looking to see if Biden has something to say about Obama on this subject.....hard to believe he didn't).

What is the evidence that the McCain campaign is behind it? Should I post links to push polling being done by the dems, or any other number of dirty tricks from the left? Would you like me to go into the story about someone who wanted me to sign a petition to get a certain proposition and they were trying to mislead me regarding what it was about (I presume it was a democrat because of what the issue was)?

Dirty tricks are played all over the political spectrum. Please don't pretend it is unique to Republicans or that the McCain campaign is behind it.

IMO, attempting to deny someone their right to vote is tantamount to treason.

And I'm not gonna say the McCain camp is behind this without any evidence ... but I've never even heard allegations that this was ever done to disenfranchise Republican voters. Caging and other such shenanigans have always been exclusive (again, to my knowledge) to negatively affect groups likely to vote Democratic.


As such, until anyone can provide examples to the contrary, I consider this a page strictly from the Republican Book of Dirty Tricks. If McCain's not behind it, it's being done for his benefit ... and he needs to come out forcefully against it and take demonstrable steps to stop it. Otherwise, if he benefits, he's complicit in voter fraud.

If not treason, that's high crimes and misdemeanors before he even gets a chance to officially commit some in office. ;)
