		<description>Afghanistan &quot;Elections&quot;. 
Dr Abdullah Abdullah speech. 
Homey don&#039;t play no sham elections. 
(neither should we)  

CNN &amp; FOX would talk over live speech. 
CNN &amp; FOX would not translate live speech. 
CNN &amp; FOX would cut to commercials during live speech. 
(cnn &amp; fox must wait for orders)  

Now back to your regularly programed CNN &amp; FOX Propaganda</description>

		<description>Vamping off the picture of above, it strikes me as a visual metaphor for Afghanistan itself. Each one of the nine events from this week I noted in my &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.urantiansojourn.com/2009/10/afutilestan-iii&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; blog &lt;/a&gt; yesterday being separate rooms in a very haunted house that Obama is navigating with equivalent of a very dim candle, with the war mongers trying to trap him the basement.

Happy Halloween, Pres.

------
 
1. The number of US troops killed hit an all time monthly high.    
2. The Taliban showed they could strike anywhere, killing a dozen UN workers in their Kabul headquarters and shelling a five star hotel that regularly hosts the international media.    
3. A former combat decorated Marine, Matthew Hoh, who joined the State Department after serving in Iraq, resigned saying he saw no good end to continued US occupation of the country.    
4. The brother of the Afghan President, Ahmed Wali Karzai, widely believed to be a drug kingpin who has thus far escaped any serious investigation, was revealed to be on the CIA payroll for 8 years. Since a great deal of the Taliban’s money comes from the drug trade, that means that we are paying the guy who is helping to kill our troops.    
5. SecState Hilarly Clinton visited Pakistan and read its government the riot act for not doing more to eliminate from within its borders the Al Qaeda who George W. Bush allowed to escape from Afghanistan.    
6. President Obama made an emotional midnight trip to Dover AFB to honor returning US troops and civilians KIA in Afghanistan, something that President Chimpy never deigned to do.    
7. Senator John Kerry pressured President Hamid Karzai to hold a runoff election after a UN investigation showed that, aided by his drug dealing brother, he defrauded his own people by producing nearly a million bogus votes.    
8. The military industrial congressional media complex turned up the heat on Obama to make a decision to their liking, painting him as indecisive for not giving General McChrystal carte blanche to escalate the occupation by adding anywhere from 40,000 to 80,000 more troops, notwithstanding that total UN and US forces already outnumber Taliban fighters by a ratio of 12:1.    
9. The assumption that the additional troops would come from the Iraq drawdown took a major hit by the escalating violence there. This is a predictable development given that the minority Sunni, whose tribal leadership was devastated by General McChrystal’s Operation Phoenix-like assassination squads, fear that without a sufficient American presence, the Shia majority would move in and finish the job.  How’s that for karma, General?</description>

		<description>The eight second humor is really funny (and only takes eight seconds) but screwed up the link.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dailykostv.com/w/002247&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;a&gt;(link to Maureeen Dowd&#039;s (scary)twisted logic&lt;/a&gt; to &quot;equate&quot; Sarah Palin and Hillary Palin. Timeless, and its corollary will come up again unless it is pointed out how absurdly misleading and misinformed Dowd&#039;s &quot;reasonings&quot; are.</description>
