The media is reporting that the visit it supposed to be smoothing over the ruffled feathers of the Pakistani government.

I ask WTF???

The Pakistanis are upset that the US didn’t let them know going to engage in secret operations on Pakistani soil.

Hummmm…. The Pakistani government allowed Bin Laden to live in safety within spitting distance of the Pakistani Intelligence training facility for at least 5 years.

It is reasonable to assume that the Pakistani government in general or key individuals within that government were protecting Bin Laden.

The loud denials of the Pakistani officials notwithstanding, They KNEW he was hiding in their country. So it wouldn’t have been in our best interests to inform the Pakistani officials, since it’s likely that someone was on Bin Laden’s payroll and they would have warned him to get out before we attacked.

What I don’t get is WHY we’re apologizing! The Pakistanis have supposedly been our allies in looking for him, so apparently they saw a profit in misdirecting the search. It would be interesting to see how much Bin Laden money flowed into Pakistani hands oh starting about 5 years ago?

I think the only message that Panetta should deliver to Pakistan is Shut the hell up, Stay the hell out of our way, wipe Al Qaeda out of your country, and IF YOU PLAY MORE DUPLICITIOUS GAMES with the US, you have only to look at Afghanistan to know what we will do to YOUR country.

I’d love to see him deliver a message like that, then just get back on the plane and come home.

But then again I’m an evil Conservative…

I  can’t stand it… God knows I try to ignore this kind of thing because it’s just too STUPID. Even thinking about this stuff makes my head hurt.

But here goes.

Sarah Palin is claiming her version of revisionist history is correct, in absolute defiance of written documentation to the contrary.

How about lets all speak the truth? How about we stop trying to spin our way out of everything?

Mrs. Palin misspoke, I’d have a lot more respect for her if she admitted it. Laughed and said something like “I don’t know what I was thinking, I was completely off in the weeds but I’m better now.” She should own it and move on.

I have to say that Sarah Palin is the reason that I for the first time EVER, voted for a Democratic Presidential candidate.

I’d voted for the other Republican candidates in the primaries but as they were eliminated in favor of McCain/Palin I found myself facing a conundrum.

I didn’t like Obama but was flat out terrified of McCain dieing in office, and Palin becoming president.

In short Sarah Palin WAS and may still be Barack Obamas greatest political ally. She  single handedly insured Obamas election.

I caught a link about Palin earlier today and marveled at what has to be the BEST trainwreck of a sound bite ever!

This is Palin speaking about Paul Revere’s 1775 ride. In fact he wasn’t making a lot of noise, he was quietly warning his fellow revolutionaries about the whereabouts and plans of the British army.

There are SEVERAL frightening things about this sound bite.

1. Every elementry school child has heard the poem (Longfellow) about Paul Revere’s midnight ride.
2. This woman has been a Mayor, Governor, AND VICE PRESIDENTIAL candidate.
3. This woman could have had access to THE BUTTON. (What’s this pretty button do?)
4. She is once again mucking about in presidential politics and will probably sink whichever party she’s associated with.  (Wonder if she’d go Democrat?)
5. She HOME SCHOOLED her children! What kind of education did they actually get? Clearly American History isn’t on the list!

This is another train wreck person that needs to recognize her 15 minutes of fame is OVER.

Please Mrs. Palin go home.
