After all these years still

After all these years still one of the better duos on BH.tv .
Corn's sober summary of the (likely) political path the Obama administration is going down wrt Afghanistan helps to convince me that President Obama really is going to be in a tough spot politically, and also that we, as a nation, are going to have a hard time coming to terms with the idea that we will have to live with other nations being marginally functional and being perpetual training grounds for terrorism. I say this in part because Jim's acquiescence to David's points aligns well with my general sense that the Paleo-cons and the liberals in the American landscape have pretty much come to an agreement that Afghanistan is a lost cause.

First Base or Home Plate ... ???

While in high school David Corn must have thought getting to 1st base with a fat chick scored him more points than his Buds reaped and garnerd after going all the way with the Prom Queen and Her Court... You can say moraly he's a dandy... but that kinda thinkin gets you named, "Most Likely Not To", in your high school year book.
