And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun

Joe Lieberman tells us that the Afghans are a "proud people with a proud history." Of throwing motherfuckers out of their country, hurrah! Then he outlines five surges, shoots his load, and starts snoring. All right already, Joe. You love war. We get it. You are become death, destroyer of worlds. You saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. You ride to Ragnarok. Smackdown! The Octagon! Hulk smash! Faster pussycat, kill, kill!

UPDATE: Link fixed.

Um, the Lieberman link just takes me back to whoisioz.blogspot.com, courtesy of your Department of Redundancy Department and the Natural Guard.

"When they stand up, we will stand down." Or something like that. ZZZZ.

I thought Al Qaeda already left Afghanistan?

Ugh, you totally miss the point AGAIN Ozzie. He only loves him some war on BROWN people.

Huge difference.

I particularly like our new friends the Russians offering to help...

Some neighbors are hedging their bets today because they fear what happens "the day after" America grows tired and disengages from the region...

Because after we "grow tired and disengage", we're going to roll over and fall asleep, snoring loudly until Afghanistan kicks us in the ribs.

By the way, Robert Kagan likes to put the same argument this way: "in Afghanistan, there are already concerns that the United States may be 'short of breath.'" Glenn Greenwald calls this a "revealing metaphor," with a link to Kagan's pudgy self.

Afghans are not 'brown' people. They're caucasians. You've been reading too much Digby. It's anti-zionists Lieberman hates.

Lieberman occupies a position in the Pwoggie Pantheon of Evil only slightly above that of Ralph Nader. Perhaps even lower. The self-neutering Digbys of the world are driven into screaming fits by the fact that Lieberman has more clout in his left pinky than all the pwogs on the interwebs have or will ever have combined.

SteveB said...

Goddamn self-neutering liberal bloggers. Can't they see how much more powerful they'd be if they'd just enroll in the Alan Smithee School of Political Effectiveness?

uh oh, somebody said something factually accurate that demeans the great pwogosphere. take it back or else steveb will say some really really mean things about you.

SteveB said...

Saying Digby is politically ineffective is factually accurate. Depending on how ineffective the person making the statement is, it can also be hilarious.

So wait, now you gotta have some clout to call Digby a useless turd? Damn, you pwoggies just keep changing the rules on me, how the fuck am i supposed to play this game?

Seriously though, it's hilarious how much you miss the point, Steve. We're ALL as ineffectual as Digby, but some of us are smart enough to know not to try and pretend we're of any consequence at all to the system. I don't imagine Alan gives a shit about trying to succeed where Digby fails, rather he is getting a good laugh in at her naivete.

see, steveb said something mean about me. steveb, in all your blind pwoggy rage...how many things have you changed?

SteveB said...

I'm glad the "rage" is coming through. I work really hard to get that part right.

Anonymous said...

the "blind" part is pretty in your face, too
