Palin Lauds Obama's Afghanistan Decision

[Lyric]

Sarah Palin is offering rare praise for President Obama following his speech last night in which he vowed to deploy 30,000 additional troops to Afghanistan.

"At long last, President Obama decided to give his military commanders much of what they need to accomplish their mission in Afghanistan," Palin wrote on her Facebook page last night.

The 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee expressed gratitude that a president who ran on a platform opposing the surge in Iraq now supports a surge in Afghanistan. She also signaled confidence that a surge in Afghanistan can succeed.

"We now have an opportunity to build a bipartisan consensus in support of a vital national security priority: defeating Al-Qaeda and its violent extremist allies in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and ensuring that these countries never again serve as bases for terrorist attacks against America and our allies," she wrote.

1. And that's all you need to know about this plan...n/t

[Kahuna]

18. The plan is to get your panties in a twist by her "agreeing" with Obama...

How much more plain can it be? Sheesh.

[SIMPLYB1980]

22. +100

[bvar22]

26. So using the same logic presented by the fan club...

...over the last few weeks, YOU are NOW a Palin Supporter.

Congratulations!
:hippie:

[saracat]

31. OMG bvar222, you are right.That is hilarious! Talk about full circle!

:yourock: :rofl:

[bvar22]

33. LOL.

People who exist on SPIN frequently get turned in a full circle.
:rofl:

[SIMPLYB1980]

32. We agree on this it seems.

If it's between supporting her or the leftbaggers I see no difference anyway.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

2. Maybe a broken clock ISN'T right twice a day.

:*

[Winterblues]

30. When I break a clock it is never right again...

:shrug:

[saracat]

3. yeah when Rove, Cheney, Palin and Mccain are endorsing your efforts you must be doing something

right!:puke: I love the true bipartisanship reflected here.:sarcasm:

[Sebastian Doyle]

10. Lieberdouche too.

Unholy Joe gave his droopy dog thumbs up last night.

And Thom Hartmann just said he's going to debate a Repuke at the beginning of the next hour.... the Repuke is in favor of the escalation, Thom isn't.

[Kahuna]

21. Hmmm. Lemmee see. The obvious pattern is the right knows they can

divide the left so easily every time they praise him and agree with him. They are hi-fiving each other as they roll in the aisles laughing at people like you.

[saracat]

29. Sorry but they aren't that deep.

[Kahuna]

40. Bull. They are masters at divide and conquer. Pretending it isn't so,

won't make it so.

[saracat]

42. Ya know, I have a friend in DC at the WH who always says, "the government really isn't that smart,

neither are the parties. Most of the time crap just happens and others read into it." They have survived three administrations in a high level position and I believe they are correct.

[Kahuna]

44. Your friend isn't talking about the repukes who are renowned for their

divisive tactics and daily talking points. It is never a coincidence whenever they spread out in the media, all with the same message. Their message is always coordinated. I thought everybody knew that. :hi:

[Ignis]

25. More Money for More Wars is always a bipartisan effort.

And that's because we have two options when voting: Hawk or Hawk Lite.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

4. Birds of a feather...? Or, should that be Hawks of feather...?

[EndersDame]

23. Hawks of a feather! I agree and also most say that was pretty clever!

:hi:

[chemenger]

5. Well Gee Whiz!

Sarah approves Obama's Afghan Troop Escalation Decision. All is right with the world.

[Cant trust em]

6. There you go. Bipartisanship.

Now since we have that under our belt, can we ditch it for the rest of the agenda?

[WCGreen]

8. LOL....

[pscot]

7. First Smoky Jim Inhofe, now Bible Spice

These are truly frightening developements. Even KKKarl Rove approves. Can Biggus Dickus be next?

[The_Casual_Observer]

9. If there was any lingering doubt that Obama was right about this one,,

there it is.

[a la izquierda]

11. I'm afraid...

very, very afraid.:scared:
I can't believe I actually just read that headline.

Tho' I think it could be that Caribou Barbie is closing in to my breathing space (she'll be in Norman, OK tomorrow-I have to keep my dogs inside, lest she mistake them for wolves and shoot them from her bus).

[ChiciB1]

12. Anyone Else Feeling Some Serious Buyer's Remorse?? I Will Admit That

I've not been in Obama's corner for many things he's done of late, but THIS ONE just takes the cake!!

Oh WAIT... we CAN eat cake, Marie told us we could! That worked out well for her too!

[tblue]

13. I was on the fence but not no more.

Anything "Pals with Terrorist" is for, I'm automatically against.

Actually, I don't support this escalation, but I don't question Obama's motives. Not yet.

[eleny]

14. Hahahahahahahaha!

[JVS]

15. Praise from Caesar!

[fascisthunter]

16. OY

[Rosa Luxemburg]

17. they wrote down what she had to say obviously

or else she would have been incohent

[johnnie]

19. "At long last"

Yeah, the last president should have done it about 7 years ago. I wish this Palin would just go away, she is an idiot.

[cbdo2007]

20. Obama/Palin 2012??

ha ha just kidding

[tridim]

24. Unemployed blogger Sarah Palin agrees with the escalation..

While completely ignoring the exit plan.

Note that all the wingnuts agreeing with Obama's "plan" don't agree with the most important part, we're leaving in July of 2011. Which is to say, they don't agree with the plan AT ALL.

[frylock]

34. we're not leaving in july of 2001..

you can take that to the bank.

[tridim]

37. Have you time-travelled to 2011?

Because otherwise, how do you know this?

[frylock]

43. have you read gates' statement from today?

what would you like to bet?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x7136290

[treestar]

27. I'm shocked; I'd have expected her to say it's not enough

[bvar22]

28. LOL. Centrist Heads Explode all over DU!

And also, good company ya keepin there, don't cha know?

Obama/Palin 2012.

[spanone]

35. fuck her

[Vinca]

36. Well . . . at least the far right wingnuts are happy.

[tridim]

38. They are not happy about the the President's exit plan.

They're simply cherry picking one aspect of the entire plan that they agree with for political purposes.

[Swamp Rat]

39. TraYter!!1

[ecstatic]

41. She said it just to f*ck with us. The GOP is laughing at the fractured left

and instigating. They can't wait for 2010/2012, and some of you are too foolish to see it.

[McCamy Taylor]

45. Brutal. Palin represents oil and gas which wants that pipeline, regardless of the costs.
