  1. attended jazz nativity last night. really amazing musicians. 4:47 AM Dec 6th from web
  2. Is it possible to clap with one hand? 6:12 PM Dec 2nd from web
  3. Dates like 1945 chose us. We didn't choose it. So how do we know if we're successful in Afghanistan? Seriously. Let's figure that one out. 5:39 PM Dec 1st from web
  4. McCain talking "arbitrary dates". He makes a good point. The success of the mission determines the date. 5:38 PM Dec 1st from web
  5. Speech just ended. President Obama is the President, and that office still demands respect. Now all of the "experts" weigh in. Sigh. 5:37 PM Dec 1st from web
  6. Partisanship comments always make me laugh. Out loud. With gusto. Non-partisanship is often quoted when it fits a partisan agenda. 5:35 PM Dec 1st from web
  7. Absolutely agree with Pres. Obamas remarks on providing opportunity and opposing oppression. We need an ethic not centered on entitlement. 5:34 PM Dec 1st from web
  8. ...to dismantle first based on the ideal. The pragmatic aspect is that it is our strength which allows us to negotiate security. 5:32 PM Dec 1st from web
  9. "True security comes from those who reject them (nuclear weapons)". Reminds me of conversations in the 80s under Reagan. Many wanted us... 5:31 PM Dec 1st from web
  10. I agree with Obamas closing on us being able to end conflicts as well as we can wage them. But "how" is always the question. 5:28 PM Dec 1st from web
  11. ...but opium warlords in Afghanistan have access to CNN. so probably break-even from a global communication standpoint on that issue. 5:27 PM Dec 1st from web
  12. We need a specific target date - and perhaps that date would have been leaked. Tough call. Good from a communication to US standpoint... 5:26 PM Dec 1st from web
  13. 3) Opposition to identification of timeframe: The issue is not the absence of timeframe, but the public announcement of that timeframe. 5:25 PM Dec 1st from web
  14. 2) Go forward with existing troops/Status Quo: I agree. The Status Quo is unacceptable. 5:24 PM Dec 1st from web
  15. Addressing problems: Afghanistan another Vietnam? No. But the end of this will resemble the end of the Korean War. 5:23 PM Dec 1st from web
  16. The public in Pakistan is notoriously fickle. They are survivalists (they've HAD to be). They are not romantics (as is the US). 5:22 PM Dec 1st from web
  17. We may want them. That does not mean they want us. 5:20 PM Dec 1st from web
  18. Does Afghanistan want the US as a partner? Has it ever? 5:20 PM Dec 1st from web
  19. When have we NOT supported political figures in Afghanistan who didn't want corruption? Wasn't that the standard for the last 8 years? 5:19 PM Dec 1st from web
  20. ...actually far more complicated than stability in iraq (which is by no means "stable" without us troops). 5:18 PM Dec 1st from web
