… cuz there are just no words
We asked Terry O’Neill, the new president of the National Organization for Women, what she thought of those Democratic women and others quietly complaining about a “boy’s club” atmosphere at the White House, as exemplified by the president playing basketball earlier this month with 11 members of Congress and four Cabinet Secretaries – all men.As the New York Times and cable news chatter looked at whether the Obama White House is too fratty yesterday, President Obama brought along a woman golf partner for the first time in his 24 golf outings as president, domestic policy adviser Melody Barnes.
Is this much ado about nothing?
O’Neill says no. [...]
O’Neill told ABC News’ Mike Callahan, “we need to see the White House leading the way for desegregating the work places all around the country and it is troubling.”
Snerk.

Sorry? I don’t feel the least bit sorry for this jackass. My guess is they had a great laugh about it at the white house. Something along the lines of “no sacrifice too great for my country, that’s what I told Michelle”. These harpies had a hand in putting this ponce in office, so attention must be paid.
And I’m guessing he enjoys turning down offers for hero-worship handjobs from idiot liberal females who think with their g-spots when it comes to dusky, powerful men.

I just would like to get a peek at the 3-ring binder of “DON’TS” that was handed to each basketball participant:
Don’t raise your hands above your head when guarding the president
Don’t come within 4 feet of the president when guarding him
Don’t make any sudden moves when guarding the president
Don’t laugh when the president runs like a spaz
Don’t call attention to any of the president’s crappy moves
Don’t attempt to rebound any of the president’s bricks. (stand still and let the president follow his shot if he remembers to do so)
Don’t run if the president is attempting a break-away layup.

Amazing. Feminists defended CLINTON through his presidency. Now they are getting snippy with the One about the number of women on his team. (I note Bush had a comparatively large number of women and minorities on his cabinet and staff without getting any credit for it)
Of course, one needs to read the code: They tolerated Bill because they all knew Hillary was really running things and would use the Bill presidency as a springboard to the presidency. The One nixed that. He bought back some credit by appointing her Sec State, but even the most fanatic leftists can see how he has marginlized her. Feminists stood with Obama during the election in order to defeat Palin/McCain (order of names deliberate), but no more free ride.

I’ve been trying to figure out just why she is holding back on the reinforcement decision on Afghanistan: I’m still not sure I understand it altogether but I’m beginning to believe it is nothing more than her being between a Rock and a Hard Place, the Rock being the rational demands of the US Defense Dept and the Hard Place being the crotch of the Progressive Party all swollen with sexual fervor over the opportunity to start big time hating on a War. She is terribly uncomfortable thinking over the politics of such a position, not to mention (well, ok, to mention) that she’s getting distracted by her own perfervid urges welling up in her loins.

John Kerry, emerging for the second time in his life from behind the shadow of a drunk as now the senior Senator from Massachusetts, gave an important speech yesterday, we are told. He revealed the heretofore unrecognized fact that Afghanistan is Vietnam (did you know he fought in Vietnam?) and further, that the United States stands fully prepared to suffer defeat there. Oh, and that the Cheney/Bush administration sucked and it’s all their fault.

“So, let’s take the proposition, “they are waiting until the elections in Va, Nj and Ny are concluded to make an announcement on troop levels for Afghanistan, if not for a wholesale change in strategy there” and give it a serious once over, what do you say Bob?”
Sure, I’m game, although I’m not sure what you mean by give it the serious once over; do you mean separate reason from breathless speculation..?
Simply put, what I’m saying is that if they win in NJ and Va, then they’ll feel some safety in sending more troops to Afghanistan. But, if they lose those elections, especially NJ, and are convinced it is because of flagging far left support at the ballot box, then they’ll initiate “Opertion Obama Bug Out”; using whatever weasel room assist they need from creeps like Kerry in the Senate they’ll resolove to get out. I don’t know what form that cover will take exactly, but it will be the sort that Obama will be able to throw up his hands and say-”they made me do it”. Of course this kind of weakness will not be recieved well by many ordinary folks, but this will be all about revving up their base…
Because in the scheme of domestic politics, if the Democrats are serious about ramming Obamacare and cap-n-tax through with their votes alone, then they’re going to need strong turnout by the proggy left at the polls as well as their ultra-zealous, brownshirt like, help in the 2010 elections; the kind of help that Obama recieved in 2008…
Since the cornerstones of his budget-busting political agenda are far left in nature that conservatives and many moderate will not support, and he’s already seemingly thrown “post-partisanship” overboard-save for tokens like Olympia Snowe, then he needs the far-left, as voters and “electioneering activists”, in order to pressure Congress into passing these items and still surviving the mid-term elections. Should the special elections next week go against them, then they may not dare to enrage, or perhaps worse deflate the spirit of, their far-left vocal activist base…
So many paragraphs later, not so simply put I guess. Have at it! :^)

That surprised me somewhat, as I didn’t expect you to think the decision will be made contingent on the election results, but that the Obami were thinking the other way round, that the election results might be contingent on the Afghanistan decision.
At least it seems to me that the results of the election won’t change the decision itself much one way or the other, but that the timing is purposed to avoid stirring up emotions prior to the election.

Oh you are definitely right about timing the release of the decision, and that still is playing pure and unadulterated politics with the lives of our personnel there…
And forgive me for my cynicism on this, I’m usually more optimitic. But with guys like Kerry and Biden of Arabia talking down the for a while, in favor of a strategy that even other Democrats say won’t work, and are treated credibily that leads me to wonder. Also, the debates over domestic policy have shown me a little too much of a, “by any means necessary”, guiding principle. After some of the other foreign policy moves they’ve made, very little would surprise me…

What fraction of the US Mil. and DoD, taking a wild guess only of course, do you think looks at the picture as darkly as you do Bob? I feel pessimistic enough just thinking that the timing is predicated on politics, but pinning the outcome of the decision on politics rather than strategic necessity goes that one step further that, *shudder* would just about cause a rush for the exits (though I notice some guy resigned from the State Dept yesterday cause he wants us out of Afghanistan!?!). Seems to me that any large percentage, say over 15% or so, would spell awful trouble to come, no matter the success of ongoing operations in theater? Or is that wrong?

Comment by Old Texas Turkey on 10/27 @ 10:25 am #
sdferr,
The resignation of the state dept guy, the malaise of the troops – all this stuff has nothing to do about the potential for victory. It all stems from lack of leadership. Period.
Remember the darkest days of Iraq? The conviction was high that it could be won if they were given the chance to win it. W gave them that. Never wavering once.
Today, I think the military sees that the “smahrt” diplomats have no credibility. Ergo, the military does not want to be canon fodder. Doesn’t change the fact that the mission is still very winnable.
Comment by sdferr on 10/27 @ 10:29 am #
“Doesn’t change the fact that the mission is still very winnable.”
I agree with what you’ve written OTT, if the case is made by the people who have to make it (and currently, quite noticeably, aren’t) as opposed to setting out to undermine it, which, while I don’t have proof of such an undermining I nevertheless have good reason to wonder over.
Comment by Bob Reed on 10/27 @ 10:34 am #
It’s hard to say sdferr,
I’m certain that there are top brass who are aware that a lot of political concerns are going into this; at least moreso than with Boooooosh!, who demonstrated his committment to actual victory signing off on the surge, Because, although there was a perception that the wrong path was being followed in Iraq, it was not owing to disregard for the reccomendations of the top brass; but in all fairness some commanders had been calling for more troops for a long time. But even though the combination of reinforcements and the change in approach that charaterized the surge was politically unpopular, Bush still backed it all the way, regardless of the political fallout.
And by now, anyone who doesn’t realize that the Democrats spent years demagoguing about their committment to the “good” war in Afghamistan, as opposed to the “bad” war in Iraq, hasn’t been paying any attention to electoral politics. It was a cynical ploy that allowed them to make foreig policy an issue without appearing weak, but now “we won!” and they have to follow through; or do the usual Kabuki of finding a different “good” fight, while conniving reasons that this one has suddenly become “bad”…
I’m sure that there will be some resignations if the President refuses the reuquest for reinforcements or sends too little; I’m sure among the first would be General McChrystal himself! It’s hard to even hazard a guess at a percentage, but the loss of any substantial number of experienced counter-insurgency commanders would effect operations, perhaps adversely. And it also may result in more experienced guys like Colonel John having to undergo unplanned deployments.
But there have been reports of flagging morale at the front recently on Drudge. And I saw the WaPo piece you mentioned. I think that the only reason it got printed was due to the resigning state department officer’s negative opinion on both the US presence there and the corruption of Kasrzai’s government; it fit the desired meme too well not to print-the cover for bugging out if necessary.
Don’t believe that for one moment that if the same officer had resigned over “dithering” that it would have been published. Heck, WaPo would probably run a story on a McChrystal resignation on the back of the “World” section in a ten line box next to the ads; it would no way have the detail this piece had…
But you are right about losing good personnel to retirement and resignation if the President makes a cynically political, or militarily humiliating, decision in Afghanistan.
All the best

Peter Feaver on this subject:
What I haven’t seen is the Pres and his ministers working to clarify, to inform, to seek support from the people, to act with assurance rather than in a defensive crouch, to focus in a timely way on the subject at hand and on and on. To the contrary, the simplest explanation of their actions remains that they have a will to undermine the policy announced last March and lay the ground for if not a full, at least a partial reversal.

I have never seen him as having a “deft touch” except with his far left support at times. In domestic affairs his speech is all “my way or the highway”. In the foreign arena he bows and kneels to thugs while verbally kicking those who need us most. Bully tactics and strategy. All the while his actions in all areas bespeak of someone looking to have the responsibility land on a subordinate, always. Bucks are to be stolen, spent and never come near his desk.

I wholeheartedly agree with you geoffb, but then you and I were skeptical of Obama from the moment of his appearance on the scene, where Feaver is referring to people (not necessarily himself) who were either in favor of, were persuaded by or were duped entirely by Obama’s campaign rhetoric and to some extent, his rhetoric and performance in the first six months of office. For instance, Obama got strong support from many conservatives when he first announced his Afghanistan policy in March. None of those same people look at him in quite the same way today.

To clarify I wasn’t putting his words in your mouth as I know also that you were never fooled by the O!.

Oh, no I didn’t think that. I was intent on coming to Feaver’s aid, actually. I don’t think he thinks other than you or I do, despite being able to write “deft”.

Maybe it was a typo and he meant to type deaf.

McGehee,
If CNN could only get credit for all those doctor’s and dentist’s waiting rooms, airport waiting areas, government welfare offices waiting rooms, they would surge in the polls.
CNN preferred over year old Newsweek and Time. Closing in fast on the two year old Field and Stream and Ladies Home Journal preferring crowd. CNN for when there is only one channel.

Let’s not go around ruining the good name of dork fraternities. More like a retard fraternity.
No offense to retards. God bless the ones not in positions of power.

I was just thinking about Newsweak while waiting for an appointmenttoday. The only place I’ve ever seen one is in a doctor’s office (or dentist, optometrist, etc.). Since I had my Kindle with me, I didn’t have to avail myself of the wondrous collection of “reading material” on-hand.
So…. what happens to Newsweak when doctors don’t need it to keep their patients semi-entertained?

I dunno ’bout Ike, but it is equal to W’s tally over 8 years.
Comment by sdferr on 10/27 @ 8:32 pm #
Ike might could have had more rounds since he didn’t do near the number of public appearances Obama does, and besides, compared to the awful burden Obama has to deal with, Ike only had to deal with the Soviet Union’s worldwide expansion after polishing off the Nazis, a relative cakewalk.
