THANKS TO PETRAEUS AND BUSH, THE AFGHAN SURGE IS WORKING

HOT AIR MISSES THE POINT BY FEATURING OBAMA WHEN THEY SHOULD HAVE FEATURED PETRAEUS AND BUSH:

Oh my: Another top-ten most wanted Taliban leader captured in Pakistan

Score.

[ALLAHPUNDIT COMMENTS:]

How big is this fish? Big enough to have allegedly been appointed the Taliban’s “political affairs” director last year. Big enough as well to have merited news stories about U.S. troops chasing him in the Afghan mountains back in early 2002, just a few months after the invasion began. Eight years later, thanks to Pakistani police, he’s finally in the net.

One question I keep asking myself during these now-daily newsflashes about Taliban chieftains being pinched: How long has Pakistani intel known where these turds are, and how many American soldiers’ lives could have been saved if they had acted sooner?

ALLAHPUNDIT MISSES THE POINT.

THE CREDIT DOESN'T BELONG TO THE ISI OR OBAMA.

IT BELONGS TO PETRAEUS AND BUSH.

If HOT AIR had put a photo of PETRAEUS up on this post instead of Obama, then they’d have 500 comments by now instead of only thirty-nine.

And, it would have been more accurate:

Petraeus is the architect of the strategy that’s paying off.

All Obama did was drag his feet for 6 months.

The increased success in Afghanistan has as much to do with Obama as it does with my left nut.

IOW: zero.

And without having WON Iraq, all this would be IMPOSSIBLE.

There would be no surge in Afghanistan had there been no surge in Iraq – and if the surge in Iraq had been unsuccessful, then there’d have been no Afghan surge fer sure. And if it been up to Obama and Biden then there'd have been no Iraq Surge.

THEREFORE: ALL CREDIT IS DUE PETRAEUS AND THE TROOPS – AND THEN BUSH.

NONE TO OBAMA.

  1. Once again, Reliapundit, you hit the nail on the head.

    Obama and the Dems were dead wrong.

    The surge in Iraq worked.

    Obama should not be given the credit that better and wiser men deserve.

    You are the best. Keep up the great work!

    In your article above about Congressman Engel, you wonder at why so many Jews are fooled. But, as we see, even some Conservatives miss the mark at times, as well. In the Labyrinth of life there are many false trails from which to choose, and once on those steep and slippery slopes, it can be quite difficult to find one's way back. That isn't their first error, and if they keep it up, they could go over to the dark side, as did Charles you-know-who.

    One must be ever vigilant about which path he chooses, and so kudos to Astute Bloggers for being so successful at it, and wishing you continued success in the future.

  7. It's a sea of libs. Anything else is hard to find.

    Maybe try Staten Island. There's plenty of conservative women here.

    I wish I could be of more help.

    Good luck!
