Well hell, you’d think being wrecked, injured and incommunicado in the desert would at least have the bright side of no 0 for a while.

Are you bring Choke Pointed, or is it something else?

A friend of mine thinks the hospital got hit because The One noticed Putin getting a lot of press for the airstrikes in Syria, and threw a tantrum over suddenly no longer being the center of attention.
He then ordered strikes without bothering to check whether or not the targets had been confirmed as valid. I.E., just jabbed a finger at a target map and said “bomb there, NOW!”
It would be well in keeping with the “Huey Long on LSD” performance he’s turned in every day for the last seven years.
I honestly believe that Rufus T. Firefly would have been more coherent and less disastrous as POTUS.

At least Rufus T Firefly had enough common sense to get a 4 year old child to make sense of things first.
Obama never grew up from that stoner 14 year old boy.
His mind is stuck at that age.

I’m betting the blame can be fixed on the Afghan ground forces. It seems they called in the target. It might have been incompetence, or it might have been revenge for some slight. (Maybe a doctor touched their daughter.)

The military allows so called friendly afghans to call in air strikes. It’s obvious what happened.
Ovomit is absolutely batshit crazy. How, in the Name of All that is Holy, did that thing get in the place that it is in?

I recall that if Republicans had shown up to vote for Romney, the situation would have been different….”I don’t like our candidate so I’m just not going to vote”….yeah, that showed ’em alright….

You can hardly fault them for being unenthusiastic about someone they knew was going to lie to them before giving them poison, rather than just openly poison them.
Again that perception is the whole reason why political “nobodys” like Trump and Carson are leading the field by furlongs rather than garnering 2-3% between them – and Jeb and Graham are in “why are you still here?” territory.

Got news for you, it will be twice as bad this time if they force another establishment RINO down our throats.
At this point, let the voting move to the roofs.

“Targeting them…not so much” is dead, ah, exactly correct.
He flails around with his far left theories and does not know what he’s going to hit when he swings his bat. Er, his pen.

Um, Chris, you know the concept of a sling is to somewhat immobilize (and support) the arm, right? Zed is waving that thing around like a drum major. Might be a better use of that cloth to wrap those ribs.

Hey! Geez, GWB, that’s Zed yer talkin’ about. This is the guy that potted three Black Hats from a hoppicopter with half his face shot off…
…although, to be fair — if he keeps waving his arm around, Sam might take her shirt back.

Or…The fault, dear citizens, lies not in our stars but in us. We did not unite and oppose this fool sufficiently and we are stuck with him since the others we elected refuse to act against him.

You can also fault the DeMSM, who “collectively” (see what I did there?) refused to tell the LIVs (Low Information Voters) the background and truth about O’bola. Or at least ask the uncomfortable questions.
But nooooo, we had to get puff questions to the DemonRats (what’s your favorite color?) and got’cha questions to the Republitards (have you stopped beating your mistress yet?).
10,000 American lives and 2 trillion American dollars in, Iraq is now a defacto Russian satellite. A-stan is next, and the lands of the Arab spring are all headed rushing to murderous theocracy and swamping any vestiges of eurodemocracy with their dregs and their operatives. The war is lost.
We are crying and self blaming and self hating over a bad shoot when ground zero should have been turned to a sheet of glass twelve years ago.
It makes me sick to say it, but yeah, it’s Bush’s fault.

Things were stable (and I still think the Kurds are worthy of our respect) until Obama threw away everything earned in blood by pulling up stakes completely without a word and leaving no one to argue against the Shia majority preying on the Sunni and Kurdish minorities again.
Now Kurdish separatism is popular once more and even the murderers of ISIS looked less like an immediate threat than the Baghdad government to eastern Iraqis.
All that was needed to keep things stable was have a handful of people put their feet up in Baghdad armchairs and say “yes, we’re still interested in your success.” But that wasn’t demonstratively-dramatic enough for him.
Who gives a fuck? Stabilize and rebuild all you want and those miserable muzzies hate us now more than ever, and the first chance they get they turn all of that hardware and stability against us.
We never should have had boots on the ground anywhere in that God forsaken sewer of the world, we should have gotten our retribution, destroyed their oil cash cow (that we built) and cut the head off of every snake who threatened us or started building another terror coalition; they all, every one, have as their only ultimate goal the destruction of the USA and Israel.
Bitter? Yeah I guess I am; two-plus decades of slaughtered American boys and zillions of American money WASTED will do that to you.

Sending uniformed military with restrictive ROE & borders that can’t be crossed = lost cause… in most cases.

Bush and us, yes.
Obummer would have you turn your head to the side and cough – he is a doctor. Problem is that ain’t his finger.
Be patient – the rest is coming.
