I was planning to write up a huge posting about how the Gaf-master Biden took credit on behalf of the Administration for the success in the Iraq war and then how Robert “I am better than all of you” Gibbs tried to defend this statement. Well in the interest of time and because my friend [...]

Why, oh why is the President doing this, www.rte.ie/news/2009/0713/afghanistan.html as it has no purpose or need.
