I’m guessing the only thing this guy knows about “casual sex” comes from warrantless peeping.
No matter what your politics, this is a great analogy.
Well, guess who never had casual sex. One look at him explains it!
I’ll put my comment in terms you’ll understand. Fuck you. You little Himmler of a fuck.
What was he done lying to Congress and had time to chat?
Guys like Hayden want to expend American soldiers lives in a countries that needs to use their own people. Obama has a good plan, here.
A striking analogy.
Hayden has had either really good casual sex, or really bad casual sex.
My money is on the bad.
Is it just me or does Michael Hayden look like a near-sighted Lex Luthor?
The only people spoiling for war are people who have never been there. It’s funny how the people who get to treat the world like it’s a f*@cking game of Risk are the same people who have never shed a drop of sweat or blood in actual combat.
How does one get a gig influencing foreign policy from the comfort of one’s easy chair?
Double-u Tee Eff
Reading TPM is like taking a daily multiple vitamin of negative Obama stories. Today’s dose is Mike Hayden. WTF is up with TPM? When did Josh Marshall become such a Republican apologist. It is not very becoming.
I have met Michael Hayden.
He is completely focused on attack. Which is probably why his concern for data security when he was at the NSA was so negligent that there were two major breaches following.
He strikes me as the type of General whose patriotism is absolute. The type of General whose patriotism might lead them to organize a coup to protect the country from enemies within.
Gee, how unusual: a right-wing shill distorting basic facts to hype the “Obama is weak” mantra.
Firstly, air power is effective if your aim is containment rather than overthrow. It was actually working quite well against Saddam before Bush’s puppeteers decided to invade instead.
Secondly, and more importantly, we’re not proposing to just bomb and leave it at that. We’re offering air support for the local forces, who have to do their own job in retaking territory (and, in the case of the Kurds, they’ve already done exactly that in key places, saving thousands of lives).
Given that we opened the door for ISIS with the ludicrously needless '03 invasion, I think we owe local forces some help, no?
Casual sex… Is Hayden implying this is a casual war?
War Proselytizer Steps In It
You are done Hayden. Whatever your scheme is; the jig is up. Blatant unreality, but glad to see you MIC-holes are still on the defensive. You will go to hell defending your ignorance, arrogance and stupidity.
We’re not buying it anymore.
Neocon.
Asshole.
Warmonger.
Bushie, I should have said that first and only.
Hayden auditioning for the George C Scott role in the upcoming Dr. Strangelove remake.
After our long, (one-sidedly) abusive relationship with Iraq, perhaps it’s best we just stick to casually fucking them, at least for now.
“We need to be wary of a strategy that puts emphasis on air power and air power alone.”
No, we need to be wary of warmongers seeking to push the envelope, using these beheadings to justify furtherance of the PNAC neocon objectives that we have so far wisely resisted since Oswald Cobblepot and his sidekick Howdy Doody left the White House.
Too bad we don’t have a video of all the slaughter we’ve wrought. Then again, based on Chelsea Manning’s disclosure and the pathetic lack of outrage from the public, I suppose prevailing sentiment is that as long as we’re killing Muslims, we’re doing the right thing, praise Jeebus.
well, that’s a new one
Uhhh…no. We tried to prepare those local forces to take care of their own country, and they ran like rabbits and turned over the weapons we provided to them to this faction.
We’ve already killed over a hundred thousand of them to “bring them freedom,” and killed and maimed thousands of our own. We peppered the countryside with depleted uranium that’s causing birth defects. We spent trillions of dollars we don’t have. Enough is enough.
This is madness. We definitely caused this problem, unfortunately, we definitely cannot fix it in spite of our accountability.
Unless of course by “we” you mean putting Dubya back into his flight suit and sending Rummy in an unarmored Humvee because we go to war with the army who deserves it. Put Richard Pearle in desert camo and Paul Wolfowitz can lick his comb in Baghdad. I’d be all for that.
But my support ends with the militarization of the PNAC signatories, their war criminal supporters in the Bush administration, and the sons and daughters of the oil tycoons who would use these gruesome beheadings as an excuse to once again turn our military into hegemonic mercenaries while they still pay no taxes.
