1. K&R!

[BlooInBloo]

2. That couldn't possibly be REAL teevee. They NEVER have 2 liberals on.

EDIT: I don't believe for a single second that Obama is going to trash Social Security as a "prisoner exchange" for health care, either. I love Hampsher, but that doesn't even come close to passing the laugh test.

Nevertheless, nothing wrong with letting Obama know that we LIKE Social Security. Especially the "security" part.

16. Correct on Both!!! n/t

[disndat]

25. I agree.

Cenk is good and he has depth. Jane is too abrasive and hardline although I agree with her most of the time.he would make a good guest on Cenk's show.

8. "Sorry, was that for Jane?" - lol

Hahaha, expecially when the question was prefaced by a very loud word, "CENK"! Ah, how nice it is to see a Democratic on TV who's not milquetoast. That line alone was precious; the rest was a bonus. :P

11. Jane is categorically wrong about Afghanistan, Cenk is keeping his mind open

With all due respect to Jane, she has conflated Afghanistan with Iraq. This mixing of the two together is all too common these days. Obama has always said he will remove troops from Iraq when the time was right and has always said what he's saying now about Afghanistan. Here's a part of he has been saying about Iraq and Afghanistan since 2007:

Renewing American Leadership
By Barack Obama
From Foreign Affairs , July/August 2007

MOVING BEYOND IRAQ

To renew American leadership in the world, we must first bring the Iraq war to a responsible end and refocus our attention on the broader Middle East. Iraq was a diversion from the fight against the terrorists who struck us on 9/11, and incompetent prosecution of the war by America's civilian leaders compounded the strategic blunder of choosing to wage it in the first place. We have now lost over 3,300 American lives, and thousands more suffer wounds both seen and unseen.

=snip=

COMBATING GLOBAL TERRORISM

To renew American leadership in the world, we must forge a more effective global response to the terrorism that came to our shores on an unprecedented scale on 9/11. From Bali to London, Baghdad to Algiers, Mumbai to Mombasa to Madrid, terrorists who reject modernity, oppose America, and distort Islam have killed and mutilated tens of thousands of people just this decade. Because this enemy operates globally, it must be confronted globally.

We must refocus our efforts on Afghanistan and Pakistan -- the central front in our war against al Qaeda -- so that we are confronting terrorists where their roots run deepest. Success in Afghanistan is still possible, but only if we act quickly, judiciously, and decisively. We should pursue an integrated strategy that reinforces our troops in Afghanistan and works to remove the limitations placed by some NATO allies on their forces. Our strategy must also include sustained diplomacy to isolate the Taliban and more effective development programs that target aid to areas where the Taliban are making inroads.

I will join with our allies in insisting -- not simply requesting -- that Pakistan crack down on the Taliban, pursue Osama bin Laden and his lieutenants, and end its relationship with all terrorist groups. At the same time, I will encourage dialogue between Pakistan and India to work toward resolving their dispute over Kashmir and between Afghanistan and Pakistan to resolve their historic differences and develop the Pashtun border region. If Pakistan can look toward the east with greater confidence, it will be less likely to believe that its interests are best advanced through cooperation with the Taliban.

It's worth reading the whole thing because a) he goes into more detail and b) it seems like he is sticking to what he has previously stated he would do as President, his positions have not changed: http://www.foreignaffairs.org/20070701faessay86401/barack-obama/renewing-american-leadership.html?mode=print


I like the fact that Cenk recognizes they are 2 different wars that require 2 different strategies.

I posted a link to a video about what Afghan's think of America and Americans with a good discussion about this in the replies, mind if I add it here for anyone who may have missed it?
