Doesn't Michele Bachmann know there is no such thing as a "military victory" in Afghanistan?

Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann speaks to US war vets and implies that troops were "half-heartedly" deployed to the war in Afghanistan.

"As President, my decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan will be based upon military considerations. They will not be based upon my own political considerations.


"We must and we can win Afghanistan, but we must provide General (John) Allen the resources he deserves in order to win this conflict. In 2007 I spoke out in support of the surge that was brilliantly employed by David Petraeus, a national hero. And I will continue to support that strategy.

THE LATEST FROM IRAQ FROM AN UNIMPEACHABLE SOURCE

Prime Minister al-Maliki said that US forces will leave Iraq as scheduled by the end of 2011, and there will be no permanent U.S. bases in Iraq. This closes the argument about an extended stay of any kind and represents a political victory for Iran and its Iraqi Shiite proxies. The question of a residual training team remains open.

The Surfin' Bird (Forty-two Years Later)

JULY 24, 2009 UPDATE, 493,106 views: So there's been a lot of debate, 2000+ posts: praising, lambasting, debates, jokes, stupidity... let me clear up some things... Foremost, I'm not taking a side. If you think I am, that's your own bias. None of these clips are from major news agencies; Not a snuff film, there was much more graphic footage. I did want this to make people think; I believe it has, and I appreciate the good ratings. It shows that a technically amateurish independent video can be moving, too.


Notes: The Trashmen's Surfin' Bird (1963) was an ode to Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket. Not sped it up because I'm not Kubrick. Sound quality is poor because I wanted there to be a feeling of grit, anguish. Song was not chosen to be 'comical', rather as a greater 'human tragedy', nonsensical.
