SEOUL -- President Barack Obama will not announce his decision on sending more troops to Afghanistan before the Thanksgiving holiday, senior aides said on Thursday. The news came as the president greeted 1,500 troops at Osan Air Base in South Korea , just before boarding Air Force One and heading back to Washington after an eight-day Asia trip. Obama and his top military and diplomatic aides have been deliberating for months over how to proceed in Afghanistan, where the United States and its partners have sought for eight years to defeat the Taliban and deny al-Qaeda a safe haven from which it can plan and launch attacks. Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, the top U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan, has stated that without the deployment of up to 40,000 additional of troops within the next ye

Below is the title tag of the Washington Post article: You could have editorialized your heading this way. If I read the article correctly, he got cheers when he said he was giving them a raise:)
White House aides: No Afghan decision before Thanksgiving: Obama arrived on the base 3:19 p.m. local time (1 a.m. Eastern Standard Time) and received a rousing welcome from 1,500 troops in camouflage uniforms, many holding cameras or pointing cellphones to snap pictures.
Wow. You know, I really liked the President`s personal views on things like Healthcare, Human Rights, evidence based science.
But when you hired a 6 year old to comment on him and that 6 year old came out with wthe name "President Prissy", that really made me think I was wrong. After all, that term could never have applied to any other president. It`s not like the last one joined the National Guard to avoid service and did not even fulfull his Guard respoonsibilities.
Then when you lied about what he said, claiming he denigrated the troops as a photo op, that just put me over the top.
You have convinced me to become a Republican. I will go to my surgeon and sign up for what ever form of brain surgery I need to be like you.
TARKIN1:
YOU'VE BEEN PUNKED!!!!!!!!!!!!
065 used an old Marlowe trick, and you bought it hook line and sinker.
So by all means go see your surgeon and have him do a craniectomy on you and while you're there maybe he could do an adadictomy.
I'd say it beats the penis enlargement surgery you underwent....in your absence.... any day:)
No, you didn`t get punked. Speaking of photo ops: Remember when the idiot Bush landed on the deck of the AC carrier! Got out, and looked like he just got off the back of a fat camel. Shock and awe--great photo op stuff. You`re right my friend, these neocons are complete fools.
CIANAN:
With all due respect my friend, you totallly biffed on the PUNKING.
What 065 did was bait you Socialists to respond angrily to an altered headline.
lol rotf lmao
065 actually e-mailed me "back channel", right after the post and told me he had posted an article on the Socilaist side and had "Marlowed" the title to see if he could get any of the Socialists to respond angrily.
Marlowe for his part, sat in the weeds and waited for one of the Socialist hotheads to respond so we could spring our trap.
As expected, Tarkin1, the Socialist "HOTHEAD" in residence responded and the trap was sprung.
The Squires, 065 and Marlowe, pulled off a perfect PUNK JOB, on our fav Socialist "HOTHEAD".
So in the future, anytime you see a brilliantly edited headline by the Squires, be afraid, be very afraid, we may be gunning for you.
I never respond angrily. In fact, I`m happy to tell you I don`t read three lines of a thread before I`ve decided how I intend to respond. I bait you ding-bats on every post with a reference to something racial. It works like clock work. I always know what your response will be...lol
Psssst...You wonder why I and the brilliant Tarkin never argue? Chuckle. Love that back channel my man...we love that back channel:) And I`m sure you of all people have noticed how I always seem to work into a repsonse the fact that Bush is an idiot....just like now:)
I think you know I'm telling the truth too.

"In fact, I`m happy to tell you I don`t read three lines of a thread before I`ve decided how I intend to respond"-----Cianan
So your telling me you have a closed mind, just look for a small 3 lines to jump on and then you let fly with, as you also admit, your two favorite topics:Race and Bush.
Sort of like a kid saying, "Oh, I never read the test questions I just write whatever comes into my head"
Marlowe has one word for this: Ridiculous
It's quantum in nature Marlowe: I already know what the right has to say, and it's always in the first three lines of any post or article. It's actually an extemely open approach when it's fine-tuned. I'm never wrong....believe it or not. It's the ability to see the entirety in a singular event.
I only have one favorite topic: race. Evereything in America revolves around it.
