Graveyard of Empires (and Clueless Liberals)

At first I just wasn't all that charmed, but now it's becoming impossible to deny the obvious -- Obama is a just a clueless dummy.

He's sleepwalking into a meatgrinder in Afghanistan. He keeps committing more and more troops and resources to the Graveyard of Empires, with a strategy of trying to prop up a non-viable un-government headed by an overdressed twit (Karzai). The Taliban is winning, and really, when you think about it, they can't lose in the long run. They're not only the home team, they're an ideology, and you can't drop a bomb on an idea.

It's a sad day when the best available reporting on an American war in the Mideast comes from the Arab press (Aljazeera/English, 24 minutes) because our own reporters, with the exception of the New Yorker's Sy Hersh, are so totally out to lunch with regard to what's happening over there.

A hundred days in, it's already easy to discern the wreckage of the Obama administration. I see it piling up in two places -- the high valleys of Afghanistan and the low canyon of Wall Street.
