At times this administration really does appear simply... inept... esp when it comes to dealing with the Mideast.

It is notable that the Borg Conspiracy called it from the get-go... about the White House changing the commander in Afghanistan, and the Borg's foreseeing the consequences... calling the consequences... now... very humbly explaining the results... without so much as an "I told you so!" even though one would be well deserved!

Must go check out his post at the Borg Conspiracy ... and remember... he told us so.

How To Lose a War, Without Really Trying

Or...... "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb."

Borrowing just a bit from the classic Stanley Kubric film Dr. Strangelove, I can't help but immediately see some similarities between that film and what we have occurring in America today as it concerns the war on terror. The only difference between Kubric's fiction and the present day reality? We don't have a renegade General Jack Ripper, or an amiable general Buck Turgidson. Or the most likable Group Captain Lionel Mandrake trying to reason his way through it all, while Peter Sellers changes hats and characters at a maddening pace throughout the drama.

Picture if you will, just a smattering of the facts as they have been reported as of today today.

White House: 'War on terrorism' is over

It's official. The U.S. is no longer engaged in a "war on terrorism." Neither is it fighting "jihadists" or in a "global war."

"The President does not describe this as a 'war on terrorism,'" said John Brennan, head of the White House homeland security office, who outlined a "new way of seeing" the fight against terrorism.

There you have it. We will now call the war......."the war against Al Qaida." It's a "new way of seeing it!"

Then there was this.....
