unless the contractor is owned by a Democrat who gives large sums to the Party. It’s as simple as that. These contracts in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq and the support areas were let during the evil Bush regime and were in some instances given to companies that had Republican leanings and in others given because the contractor might actually have the ability to perform without regard to political affiliation. That sort of thing cannot be allowed to stand in a Democrat Administration.

He’s a hero for brokering the Dayton Peace Accords. If he brought peace to that region, why do we still have a few thousand US troops among over 10K NATO troops in the Balkans 10 years later?

I’d imagine he’s one of the few former directors of AIG, Credit Suisse, Perseus LLC, and Lehman Brothers that the lefties love. I thought all those guys were supposed to be pure evil, having stolen from the poor to give to the rich.

He’s got it made. Instead of going through Senate confirmation to be Secretary of State, he can be our AfPak Czar. He’s been on the job since the day after inauguration and Obama still doesn’t know what his strategy in that region is. Nice job!

It appears he does not understand the Pockeestan situation any better than he does the USA and it’s Representative Republic..

Odum-boy is becoming Carter faster than Cater.

It isn’t the Administration that is naïve, it is those of you who cannot seem to accept the fact that Obama is not on our side.

I could care less where he was born, but Obama is not an American culturally, politically, socially, economically or by heritage.

A person is known by the company they keep. So let’s see who is happy with Obama. Politically, he is obviously a communist given that Castro and Chavez are great supporters and he has sold us out to Putin.

Culturally, he is a Muslim starting with his fathers heritage, reinforced by his time in Indonesia, revealed by his visit to Pakistan as a student, indebted by who paid for his education and exemplified by his subservience to the king of Saudi Arabia.

Anybody want to bet that he knows the words to the Star-Spangled Banner? No, I didn’t think so.

We get India and Pockystahn to go to war, which uses up a lot of excess people in South Central Asia.

Then we watch as India realizes that it has an ally of convenience in the Taliban.

Afghanistan and Pockystahn return to the 7th Century, while India returns to primordial ooze.

No more problem with outsourcing of jobs.

It’s all coming together nicely.

(I wish I didn’t have to say it, but: ) /snark.

For one thing, it keeps his hair-plugs and Chiclet smile off mike…WAY off mike.

Two, he is the “Foreign Policy Ace-in-the-Hole.” This was what he was placed on the ticket for. To completely discombobulate America’s power and policies overseas.

And since when did Holbrook become the USD AT&L? I do not recall his appointment to that position. Or Chief over at DCMA. Or DCAA. By what authority does he use to approve or disapprove contracts in CENTCOM’s AOR? I thought that the FAR had precedent over contracts. [I know, I am just a silly, evil DoD Contractor...and cynical to boot.]

Do we have a Government KO or COR who can answer this that is a member of RedState?

this is what happens when politics and corruption override “what needs to be done” by people who are in comfy jobs thinking there are no consequences for themselves…
When things get worse because of their ineptitude and they try to blame Bush for the umpteenth time we should see impeachment and treason trials start… except we won’t because politics and corruption seems to be overriding what needs to be done until after someone bombs us again…

I watched “The Killing Fields” while I was down with the flu last week. Aside from the movie’s glossing over of the heinous evil suggested by the title in favor of bashing the US military, I was reminded of The Zero’s ostensible “gaffe” regarding Pakistan earlier this year, where he “naively” said to reporters he send US jets into Pakistan if that’s what it took to fight al Quaida.

I never subscribed to the “gaffe” or “naively” theories. I think this guy and his administration are just that incompetent and agenda driven to believe that their socialist aims can be aided by dragging Pakistan back into the stone age alongside Afghanistan.

This will be the third test! The first was the re-direction of patriotism to environmentalism! By the newly renamed communist party (reds not greens) Environmentalist Not Communist! NO DIFFERENCE The second was the “Endangered Species Act” begining the destruction of America from within! and the re-direction and dumingdown of our children- accomplished by the communist led NEA! Now an experiment to see if their control of all the media and education has brainwashed enough people to let a person of Obamas qualifications get into power (IT WORKED) Now to see if they succeed in their agenda as advertised in 1930—– ?????

Coming from where Obama came from, what he is doing in foreign policy is all that he knows to do as a community organizer. His naivete
and incompetence in foreign policy is really showing with this move and promises to, like you say, destabilize the country and hand it over to their, and our, enemy.

And the execution of it by Holbrooke and Sec. of State Clinton is a real head-scratcher. That they don’t know better makes them to be equally incompetent.

I wonder how many of these “proper organizations” to receive funding by Obama are connected to the same illegal Saudi and Gulf oil Sheik money channels that put hundreds of millions of dollars into Obama’s election?

These folks also paid for his schooling and helped get him access into the programs that started him down the road to where he is now - not to mention being connected to Hamas and Saudi-funded C.A.I.R. (that acts as the legal and propaganda arm of Al Qaeda).

I am getting tired of hearing that President Obama is just being “naïve” or “incompetent”or “inept” or that he is comparable to Jimmy Carter (who really is incompetent and naïve).

It is my contention that President Obama is not incompetent or naïve (about either foreign policy or domestic policy) as he has often been described by many conservative commentators. I believe that he is very bright, and knows exactly what he wants and what he is doing. I further believe that he is a committed extremist leftist that wants to put an end to the United States of America as we know it, and replace it with a “socialist paradise” that will take its humble place in a new world order of global governance.

When examined in this light, everything that he has done makes perfect sense (from his point of view). All the things that we conservatives think of as “wrong-headed” in his actions, are just the very things that are necessary (from the leftist viewpoint) to bring about the “required” destruction of the “evil” capitalistic free-enterprise system so that it may be replaced by an “enlightened” socialistic system.

I think it is extremely dangerous for conservatives to effectively excuse Obama’s actions as being naïve and/or incompetent, instead of actively opposing them precisely for being anti-American and leading to the destruction of the Republic. Instead we must take careful note of what he (and the many other extremist leftists he has brought into his administration) have said throughout their adult lifetimes. All of these people have said time and time again just what their plans for American society are. Their plans are all laid out in black and white for all to see. The MSM of course has done everything possible to ignore this record, but for conservatives to ignore it is suicidal.

It is past time for conservatives to stand up and point out just exactly how everything Obama has done is precisely what the extreme leftists have called for over the years to bring about the destruction of our freedom and our country.
