Welcome to another Stiftung Comic, this ‘ish, “NATO STRIKES!”
The Secret Behind Sarkozy’s Mania To Attack Libya
The comic issue begins with the fateful decision to bomb Libya. . .
Obama declares his firm decision that he will bomb and attack Libya, but no boots will ever touch Libyan soil. The U.S. military follows its orders to the letter . . .
But even the best military plans go awry . . .
Obama Lays Claim To A ‘Center’ He Thinks He Found
The Right Wing Moves The Goal Posts And Obama Caves
“Surprisingly statesman-like”. . . Michael Barone (4 Stars)
“Chris, the inside story is he beat the Republicans at their own game!”. . . Website analyst Howard Fineman
“Masterful. I have all the details in my new book.”. . . Morning Joe hanger-on Mark Halperin
“Frankly, the most radically deceptive and truly dangerous moment ever to confront the American people.” . . . . Newt
“We won! We own the middle now! There’s no place for Republicans to go! Our recent poll shows it’s succeeding. In the Boulder Colorado 73rd school district, a progressive candidate leads by +5, outside the margin of error”. . . . Usual Suspect Daily Kos Blogs
“Isn’t it a fact — a FACT! – that if Obama didn’t move to where Republicans painted the middle, he now would be unemployed? Fact! If he didn’t become a Republican you wouldn’t have a Democrat in the White House? I have worked on the Hill as Chief of Staff of the Senate Finance Committee, Sir! I have been in the room ! You’ll pardon me if I take your dismay as just rank amateur second guessing” . . . Obvious
“I just don’t get his socialism.” . . . . Jamie Dimon
Obama As Goldilocks: Now, About That Debt Ceiling . . .
Admit it. It’s OK today finally in polite circles. Because Paul Krugman woke up the other night.
And Lo! Verily. So cameth this divine vision down unto his Nobel winning noggin that truly, he who dost caveth before all hath no spine. ‘Why hast thou forsaken your flock?’, he cried. ‘Have we not offered Chenin Blanc and Brouilly both avec Camembert de Normandie‘?
What have they done with President Obama? What happened to the inspirational figure his supporters thought they elected? Who is this bland, timid guy who doesn’t seem to stand for anything in particular? (April 10, 2011)
Thus did Krugman hear the reply as if carried on the wind borne by a twin DR-103 stack. But without mid or presence controls and five pre-amp ECC83 and four EL-34 output tubes per head. For the reply did packeth punch without cascading gain sizzle:
“Pinhead.”
And it was good. Around the dried and empty barrels of Kool Aid and blogs, there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth. Down unto his Twitter followers’ great-great-grandchildren.
Obama’s Inner Neocon – Fooled You Again!
How easily the U.S. steps into the unknown. Not burdened with strategic concerns about what to do, how to do it or how to get out. Everyone but the most dishonest Neocon admits a no-fly zone will have no impact on Khaddafi’s ability to crush the opposition on the ground. So the UN resolution is implicitly an invitation to kinetic war. A war declared on Libya on behalf of people and tribes we don’t know. Once again, high dudgeon and emotional satisfaction heralds ‘regime change.’
It’s true the French have led the way. But we’ve seen that movie, too. Recall that the French also stridently demanded the Iraq no-fly zone only quickly to bug out. Americans held the bag while the French enriched themselves with Saddam’s contracts. Should Americans in fact strike Libya, they again will have stumbled into General Jello’s ‘Pottery Barn Rule’. So much for jobs, domestic reconstruction, deficits and recalibrating strategic ends and means.
Can’t blame Bush. Can’t even blame Cheney, Rummy and the Neocons. Should we slide into de facto war, this time America can only look down at the shiny Taco Bell counter and take in the reflection.
