In the US, forces are combat ready in 6 weeks.
It's been 10 years of training Afghans. By the time they're ready, by the time there are enough of them, they'll be dying of old age.
Why are we pretending about the reason we're there?

Improper or Appearance of Impropriety?
Bundler Oklahoma billionaire investor George Kaiser is one. A longtime Democratic donor, he is a big financial backer of a company that in March of 2009 won a $535 million loan guarantee from DoE for a solar plant in Silicon Valley. He had multiple visits to the White House in the months before the company was awarded the contract. Kaiser did not respond to interview requests from iWatch News.
Steven Westly, a green energy entrepreneur who raised at least $500,000 for Obama, has seen four companies in his venture firm’s portfolio receive more than $500 million in loans, grants or stimulus money from the Energy Department under the Obama administra tion, iWatch News reported in March.
More than two years after Obama took office vowing to banish “special interests” from his administration, nearly 200 of his biggest donors have landed plum government jobs and advisory posts, won federal contracts worth millions of dollars for their business interests or attended numerous elite White House meetings and social events ...
Overall, 184 of 556, or about one-third of Obama bundlers or their spouses joined the administration in some role. But the percentage s are much higher for the big-dollar bundlers. Nearly 80 percent of those who collected more than $500,000 for Obama took “key administra tion posts,” as defined by the White House. More than half the 24 ambassador nominees who were bundlers raised $500,000.
The big bundlers had broad access to the White House for meetings with top administration officials and glitzy social events. In all, campaign bundlers and their family members account for more than 3,000 White House meetings and visits. Half of them raised $200,000 or more.
Public Citizen found in 2008 that President George W. Bush had appointed about 200 bundlers to administration posts over his eight years in office. That is roughly the same number Obama has appointed in a little more than two years, the iWatch News analysis showed.
I'm told that Obama and Michelle met with consultant

If you care at all about your issues, about issues that Weiner has fronted, why would you handicap yourself by keeping someone who can no longer be of any use to you? Weiner has no future in the US Congress. The Democratic Party won't have him speaking on any subject on its behalf, which brings us to your other point.
I've long written about the DLC's control of the Democratic Party and how their talk isn't their walk. Weiner's remaining in Congress lets them continue to NOT deliver on our issues.

So he has a wiener; somehow I knew that. It's not like I've never seen one. Arnold Schwarzenegger showed off his wiener as well and they made him the governor. When the Republican s can stand in defense of male prostitute s and their patrons and gay porn stars such as Matt Sanchez (aka Rod Majors, aka Pierre LaBranche) who happen to be Republican , then I don't think the democratic party should be afraid of Anthony's wiener.
What "diaper shot"?

What is cyber-sex addiction?
In the wake of the Weiner scandal, sex addiction therapist Dr. Joe Kort joins Lawrence O'Donnell on The Last Word to shed some light on America’s newest disorder: cyber sex addiction.
O'DONNELL: Some of us have said this is a sex scandal with no sex, but is this kind of activity actually what these people regard as sex? Is it sex for someone in Anthony Weiner's position who's actually doing all the texting?
KORT: The thing about sexual addiction is it's about the chase, it's about the hunt. It's not about the catch...it is definitely sexual, absolutely.
"Sadly, the Internet is the predator's venue of choice today. We need to update our strategies and our laws to stop these offenders who are a mere click away from our children."
Affordable to whom?
The banks aren't lending. They're sitting on trillions of dollars.
