   Naw, let’s continue denying reality. That will solve any problem.

   More like the Wall Street Medal of Honour … for holding in there for so long on (foreign) government support.

   Trudeau slamming Obama? That cold front that has hit the north has apparently affected Hades as well!

   The Afghan gov. is like dirty water in the bathtub, and our troops are like the plug.

   Back when this whole fiasco began in Afghanistan, I wrote an article condemning the misadventure as an exercise in futility and likened it to Uncle Remus and the story of Brer Rabbit and the Tar-Baby.
   Sadly, time and circumstances have proved me only to prescient. I wished I’d been wrong.
   There is no easy way for us to extricate ourselves from this Tar-Baby !

    I have used the tar baby analogy myself. But some confuse it with an attack on “race.”
    -
    Quick sand is another analogy to use without any racist baggage some one might construe. I’d be happy to see our budding external empire crash. But it won’t. Not yet at any rate.

    Just because you play partisan favorites doesn’t mean Trudeau does. Or myself.

    For almost two years I watched to see if Republicans would grab the big ripe fruit hanging right in front of them: end the Afghan War. A position with 70% support among Americans of both parties. They never grabbed it.
