I know it's been almost 11 years, but it still makes me cry every time I see it.

yes indeed....and these are the very savages obama want to be friends with and bow down to?...hmmmm...I do think after 3 1/2 years of the obama destruction of America and if you still want to vote for him again you are to stupid to argue with...

Anderson said...

Oh good, it took over 24 hours for someone to politicize this post. That's encouraging.

.. Me too, 7:08.

No doubt it would be hard, maybe next to impossible, for Anderson to defend the Kenyan's Middle East strategy of replacing one set of dictatorships with extremist Islamic dictatorships.

Anderson said...

4:38, it must surprise you no end that Democrats don't engage in serious discussions with people who refer to the current president as "the Kenyan."

How was the D'Souza movie?

KaptKangaroo said...

Anderson, the above aside, I do have a problem with what very much looks like failed foreign policy in the Middle East (Iran, Isreal, Syria).

OBL aside too, that was a non-partisan decision; although I 've read his advisor lady talked him out of it a couple times before he finally decided he better do something if he wanted to maintain someplace in the history books.

That is something to talk about. Oh and we are still engaged in Afganistan - and it is wrosening.

Anderson can't defend the Kenyan's record so he ducks and evades time after time. That is the bottom line.

As for D'Souza, still waiting Anderson for you to stack up your CV against his.

Anderson said...

I dunno, Kaptain, Obama's foreign (as opposed to domestic) policy looks reasonably good -- I'd give him a B.

Iran: he's stated that the U.S. won't accept Iranian nukes. Sanctions have been stepped up (that is always difficult vis-a-vis the EU/Russians/Chinese). Pretty obviously we've been involved in some covert ops -- Stuxnet and maybe assassinations. What would you want done differently?

Israel: I'm not on board with those who think U.S. sovereignty is to be sacrificed to Israeli whims. If anything, Obama's been too deferential to 'em. Again, what would you have him do, exactly?

Syria: bound to be a clusterf--k no matter what. The area can't afford a Libya (surprised you left that out of your list). Again, I suspect there's some covert support, but god knows I don't want U.S. troops on the ground there. Letting the situation sort itself out is probably the best any president could do.

As for OBL, we can compare Obama to Clinton and Bush, both of whom pulled the plug on efforts to nail him.

As for Afghanistan ... I'd like to blame that on Bush's putting the country on hold to go invade Iraq, but frankly, the place is ungovernable in any Western sense of the word. If we pull out 100% and the Taliban takes over, FAIL. If we stay there and keep losing troops on a pointless mission, FAIL. No-win, especially with our ostensible ally Pakistan surely continuing to aid the Taliban.

KaptKangaroo said...

One at a time.

Iran. You are kidding me right? You honestly think we were responsible for Stuxnet. Maybe the development, but not the deployment. Isreal has its hands on that one. And, given recent Isreal comments, it would appear the leadership is firmly in their hands.

And you honestly think that sanctions are working?

I'm thinking C- on Iran b/c we haven't really shown any leadership on the global stage here.

If it were me, I say we immediately engage with Isreal and formulate some semblance of a timeline that involves putting our foot down. We cannot afford a unilateral war in the ME between the two due to the impact it will have on our fragile economy (Obama's record setting achievement).

Anderson said...

I don't understand why you think development/deployment is a useful distinction. If Israel deployed it, we gave it to them. It's precisely the kind of working together that one would hope for.

Sanctions are hurting Iran - that's what they're supposed to do. Policywise, the problem continues to be that, if you're running Iran, getting nukes makes excellent sense.

If we put our foot down, it has to be with regard to both Israel & Iran: no nukes for Iran, no attacks by Israel without U.S. clearance. I think the Israelis are bluffing, but it's intrinsic to the bluff that we can't know what's really going on.

(I rely for Israeli reporting a lot on Jeffrey Goldberg @ the Atlantic - you should follow his blog if you don't already. He does lots of reporting & interviews, not just your typical comment-on-other-people's work blogger, like Y.T.)

KaptKangaroo said...

Development is the act of creating the weapon.

Actually using it requires greater risk.

KaptKangaroo said...

And Anderson, you actually made the point of weakness on foreign policy by making the statement "we can't know what's really going on." A strong foreign policy targeting strong relations with Isreal wouldn't leave us in the dark.

Anderson said...

Uh, yes, it would leave "us" in the dark, because both the U.S. and Israel have strong reasons to keep things uncertain and covert.

Open confrontation with Iran (1) heightens the public support for the regime + nukes and (2) risks provoking Russian or China into taking up the Iranian cause.

People tend to want badass fantasy exhibitionism in foreign policy. It's seldom like that.

Another blogger worth reading on matters foreign is Larison at The American Conservative. He's a tad pro-Russian, Ron-Paulish, but very realistic on foreign policy.

... As for deployment, I'm not even clear how you think you know how Stuxnet was deployed, etc.

Needless to say, just as Iran's giving a nuke to X who then dropped it on the U.S. would not get Iran off the hook, neither would we get a pass b/c we just designed Stuxnet vs. Iran and then gave it to Israel to use. That was one damn targeted virus.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
