Looks like the rebels have gained territory.
By the way, has anyone been as amused as I have watching Fox News lately? The tachometer on the Republican spin machine is dangerously in the red. One minute they're criticizing Obama for not taking action (eg., the slimy Newt Gingrich), and then they do a complete 180 when he masterfully pressures a coalition to take action for their own selfish interests under secret American guidance (a diplomatic master stroke). "Why aren't we invading Zimbabwe?" they ask sarcastically, apparently oblivious to the real-world constraints of prudence, feasibility, and relevance. Then another 90 degree turn when it becomes apparent that Obama has ingeniously delivered the "humble foreign policy" that the Repubs campaigned on in 2000: the French are in charge of a matter in their backyard? We should be in charge! Then, today, because of an apparent rift in the spin-lie continuum on Faux News, Newt Gingrich was actually taken to task and grilled about his blatantly contradictory statements over the last month. He said he was seriously worried about the fiscal condition of our military, whether it would be able to sustain such an intervention given our other engagements. Gee, Newt, maybe it's a good thing after all that we've tried to off-load as much of this as possible onto the French and British.
Man, what a bunch of losers.
Do you want the moustache on or off?
