Rumsfeld to Obama: What Requests For Troops in Afghanistan Are You Talking About?
Posted by Dan McLaughlin
It seems Obama misspoke again. This time he accuses Rumsfeld of preventing further build up in Afghanistan. Perhaps Obama needs to worry more about his policies than the "mistakes" of his predecessors.
As Predicted, the Senate Republicans Are Improving the Health Care Bill so it Passes
Posted by Erick Erickson
For all the talk about needing to stop this Health Care Reform, it seems the Republican party is letting down its base, who are all anti-reform as currently being debated in the Senate. It is truly disappointing when we see evidence that the "2" party system tends towards 2 sides of one political power. I think oligarchy is a good word for our current political structure.
This will not end well by George F. Will
He argues what is quickly becoming a common feeling about the surge in Afghanistan. He expresses that if the goal for Afghanistan is how quickly we can get out, then it will fail.
Uncertain trumpet By Charles Krauthammer
Many felt that Obama's speech lacked in forcefulness. He never discussed victory. Instead, he harped on the withdrawal within 18 months of entering. How can we possibly succeed if success is a relative success. We might as well withdraw now.

Bryan-
I am an avid reader of your blog (which I just chanced upon several days ago).
I find your political musings especially refreshing-- but sometimes I am slightly concerned; there is a cerain sanctity and respect that accompanies (or should accompany)the Oval Office which you do not seem to appreciate.
Each and every American must grant a certain level of deference to the person who occupies the most powerful position in the world.
I hope that in my future perusals of your insightful commentary on human life as a whole my sensibilities will not be so offended.
Edwin
