Now, that is a YouTube parody I want to see! Which politician would be the wookie?

“As for the Democrats, they are trying to deceive their
people by claiming that they will withdraw their forces
from Iraq by reaching an understanding with Iran in order
to concentrate on Al-Qa’ida and the Taliban in Pakistan
and Afghanistan. Iran’s aims are clear; namely, annexing
southern Iraq and the eastern part of Al-Jazirah [area
between the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers] and
expanding to establish contacts with its followers in
southern Lebanon.”

It’s hard to know if this is really what will happen, but promises by Barack to pursue talks with Iran and to withdraw mmediately from Iraq should make us all a little apprehensive.

Not spin, just an illustrative point.

There has been some hype surrounding the personality of Obama, that he somehow has unique personal attributes that will help the country. To quote Obama, “we are the ones we have been waiting for.”

This is dubious.

Given the apparent dilemma between Obama being an outstanding politician and sacking a supporter for being a covert Hamas supporters, and Obama being an outstanding politician and sacking a supporter for doing his job, I’d go through the horns and predict Obama is a typical politician who sacks a supporter when it becomes politically expedient to do so.

To answer your question regarding Doug Goodyear, I’d answer the same.

I’ve given my reasons for supporting John McCain [1]. They do not pining for politics-as-unusual.

Stephen,

In reference to the previous posts, Obama is the only candidate black enough to be President. I hope to have something on this in the near future…

Provocative!

Dan,

Why not give equal time, and equal innuendo, to McCain/Goodyear?

Or is this Star Wars, with Obama covered in black vs the Luke SkyMcCain?

Are you arguing that Obama showed poor judgment by dismissing aids for doing their jobs?

Yglesias:

“Robert Malley has a job at the International Crisis Group where he, among other things, writes analytical reports about the situation in the Middle East. In the course of doing such work, he has spoken with leaders of Hamas. Naturally, this equals “connections with Hamas” and “palling around with terrorists.”

I guess by this standard Jeff Goldberg’s a Hezbollah operative or something.”
