  1. Nothing more than an election promise fullfilled. He DID say he’d attack Pakistan because according to him that’s the source of all terrorism. Look for the Obamamessiah to announce “mission accomplished”.

  2. You do know that Bush can fly a plane, right? And we haven’t seen Bush in a couple days, right? I think we know what the real story is here.
    He flyeth ever onwards, Kate, delivering us all from terrorism and fascististic stuff.
    You taught us that.

  3. Let the games begin!
    Now we shall start to see some interesting reporting and “dialogue” from the anti-war Obama supporters. Should be interesting to watch.

  4. To those who hoped or feared he was something dramatically different….there are marginal difference in approaches BUT he is an AMERICAN president. Anyone who forgets that will either over or underestimate his actions.
    He also needed to demonstarte early that he wasnt a complete pushover. So this was an easy and inexpensive way to do it.
    MoveOn.Org members dream bubbles are popping at this very moment. Either that or it is now being fully defended as
    “finally, some focus…so glad George Bush is gone so we can focus on the real bad guys” or something like that.
    I await for the criticisms of the Harper government to start, you know the ones, that we arent doing enough to help the US in Afghanistan, that we are cuting and running and that Harper is so ideological he will only help Bush and not Obama….or soemthing like that.

  5. Fake Headline: Majority of Americans Polled Want to be Fisted by Obama.
    …..A recent poll revealed that over 50% would like to receive a ‘fist bump’ from President Obama citing this jesture shows he’s in touch with the average person….

  6. I’m going to enjoy the next four years. Give back to the left all that they dished out the last eight years.

  7. Oh Man.I cannot wait to see how the MSM and the lefties are going to try to spin the next 4 years. I may have my own “tingling leg” just waiting for it!!!

  8. BUT he is an AMERICAN president who hasn’t gotten around to calling off the Afghanistan effort yet.
    (there, fixed it for ya)
    Doncha know that if Zero keeps the fight going in Afghanistan all those Truthers are going to feel betrayed?
    Heck, when he lets all those Gitmo Grads go they’re going to wind up in the Pak NW Territories serving with the Taliban and some of them could get recaptured.
    That would look bad on the Obamunist.

  9. I’ve always thought this might be a good idea …
    Pick a clear day (there are lots of them at this time of year) when you can take high resolution satellite images, then announce that you have found Osama bin Laden’s hiding place, and that you are giving people one hour to get out of the way before a really nasty new weapon goes boom there.
    Then wait and see where people run away.

  10. But, but, but , this can’t be! It must be an old order from George W. Bush! Obama would NEVER sentence those people to death without a fair trial!! He hasn’t even offered them an “open hand if they unclench their fists”! The US doesn’t have UN approval to bomb Pakistan! Obama would NEVER attack another country with out UN approval! The last President to do that was, well it was Clinton in Kosovo, but that’s irrelevant! These are LIES!!! Made up by you right-wingers to discredit Obama!!! AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! I need a latte!!!!
    Yep, I’m really looking forward to the next 4 years and it looks like Obama won’t disappoint me.

  11. He’s talked the talk.
    And when it came time to walk the walk, he turns to his advisor and asks … we do have a plan, don’t we?
    If we don’t, we can make one up on the fly.
    As he said during the campaign, the problem originates in Pakistan.
    So, bomb Obama bomb. Live up to your campaign promise!
    We all expect it. Please meet our expectations, Obama.

  12. Maybe he’ll have a similar plan with Gitmo. If holding jihadists so long without trial and interrogating them is violates their human rights, I’m okay with just bombing the place flat.

  13. So it’s monstrous of Israel to bomb enemy positions in Gaza and kill Muslims and also monstrous of America (under Bush) to bomb enemy positions and kill Muslims, but it’s proper of America (under Obama) to bomb enemy positions in Pakistan and kill Muslims?
    I hear nothing but the silence of the Leftist and Big Media lambs following the massacre of peaceful, helpless Muslims who, we’re told, supposedly hate no one, threaten no one and haven’t been going around killing or scaring people to the point that they can’t live normally anymore (like in Sderot)…
    I don’t remember a big Leftist/Big Media stink being made over when Clinton bombed Muslim nations (Iraq, Afghanistan) and killed Muslims (at least in Iraq)…
    Fascinating study in Left-wing doublethink, it’s going to be, to watch how, when Obama kills Muslims and/or takes America to war, the Left/Big Media let him off the hook and the moonbats in the streets who walk around and call the President “Hitler” have mysteriously vanished…

  14. Oh Mr Taliban here come de Obomba.
    Daylight come and I want to go home.
    One bomb two bomb three bomb four!
    Daylight come and I want to go home.
    The Lancet should easily be able to turn this into 500 dead.

  15. From the article:
    “The pro-U.S. government routinely protests them as a violation of the country’s sovereignty, but most observers speculate it has an unwritten agreement allowing them to take place.”
    That’s because it’s their agents who are using the laser pointers to make which house to hit…

  16. we will be able to laugh for awhile until he really screws up and all hell breaks loose.

  17. I can see Obama backpedaling on this. “Uh, uh , uh it was a mistake, I meant to uh order a meal uh from the kitchen but uh called CENTCOM instead.”

  18. THIS ONE PACKS A FIRM PUNCH. Here is a woman who should run
    for Prime Minister!
    Written by a housewife in New Brunswick, to her local newspaper.
    This is one ticked off lady.
    ‘Are we fighting a war on terror or aren’t we? Was it, or was it not, started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001 and have continually threatened to do so since?
    Were people from all over the world not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from the nation’s capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania?
    Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn’t they?
    And I’m supposed to care that a few Taliban were claiming to be tortured by a justice system of the nation they come from and are fighting against in a brutal insurgency.
    I’ll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.
    I’ll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere belief of which is a crime punishable by beheading in Afghanistan.
    I’ll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for hacking off
    Nick Berg’s head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.
    I’ll care when the cowardly so-called ‘insurgents’ in Afghanistan comeout and
    fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques and behind women and children.
    I’ll care when the mindless zealots who blows themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.
    I’ll care when the Canadian media stops pretending that their freedom of speech on stories is more important than the lives of the soldiers on the ground or their families waiting at home to hear about them when something happens.
    In the meantime, when I hear a story about a CANADIAN soldier roughing up an Insurgent terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don’t care.
    When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank: I don’t care.
    When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and ‘fed special’ food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being ‘mishandled,’ you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts: I don’t care.
    And oh, by the way, I’ve noticed that sometimes it’s spelled ‘Koran’ and other times
    ‘Quran.’ Well, Jimmy Crack Corn you guessed it: I don’t care!!
    If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your E-mail friends. Sooner or later, it’ll get to the people responsible for this ridiculous behavior!
    If you don’t agree, then by all means hit the delete button. Should you choose the latter, then please don’t complain when more atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our great Country!
    And may I add:
    ‘Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Soldiers don’t have that problem.’
    I have another quote that I would like to add, AND…….I hope you forward all this.
    One last thought for the day:
    Only five defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
    1. Jesus Christ
    2. The Canadian Soldier.
    3. The British Soldier.
    4. The US Soldier, and
    5. The Australian Soldier
    One died for your soul, the other 4 for your freedom.
    YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON, AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET ALL OF THEM. AMEN’

  19. TimesUK puts up its headline c/w scare quotes.
    That is an example of “inverted reconstruction”.

    “January 23, 2009
    President Obama ‘orders Pakistan drone attacks'”

  20. You can change a government, but you cannot change reality.
    Thankfully the killing will continue.
    If The Obama kills enough of them I might give him my vote in four years.

  21. Funniest of all is the Leftards all lining up to kiss O’s ass and he’s already on his way to disappoint them.
    Is there anything funnier than the face of a gobsmacked, stunned Liberal/Leftard? Keep watch, we’ll be seeing a lot of them.

  22. To Progressive Indian,I went to site you linked to,and noticed that there is a new open letter about the Rick Hillier/war criminal allegation from the same tool that had the first letter,only now it’s expanded with ‘evidence’ to back up his point!Lots of room to comment kids,so head on over and do your thing.

  23. Newsflash
    he has always supported the Afghan war. Do you remember him saying if he knew the enemy was hiding in another country he would go after them. Of course you remember that, you guys all made fun of it. Well, welll, well he did just that and he kept his word, like it or not. He never hid this mandate from the voters if some members of the far left dont like it too bad.
    This is something that I know you want to see from the new president so how about some of you suck it up and just say “good job”.

  24. Messiah ciaobellas fellahs to Allah.
    okay okay……it needs work…a little tightening and brightening up….

  25. Let’s see, the source of this ridiculous and unnecessarily obtuse piece is the AP with the by-line attributed to a certain Munir Ahmad. Ahmad just couldn’t bring himself to say that those seven people killed in those two buildings in Waziristan, the AQ training center in Pakistan, were most likely terrorists.
    Poor Obama, as much as our kumbaya utopian Ghandi Messiah would like not to kill Muslims his administration is going to have to keep on doing it and face the wrath of AP’s sympathizer stringers. If he doesn’t he’ll be a one term wonder like Jimmy Carter who was done in by Muslim extremists in Tehran.

  26. I saw the look on the O’s face when he was annoyed at loose-lipped Biden yesterday.
    Like the lady above, and being true to his roots, he’ll proclaim:
    “Jimmy crack corn and I don’t care, I’m Massa now an’ here to stay.”
    This is going to be fun to watch!

  27. “For The First Time In My Life, I Regret Not Being A Newspaper Headline Writer”
    “Obama Targets Muslims For Death”
    Would you care to clarify this? Are you happy that Muslims are dying, or specifically suspected Al Qaeda?
    Because seeing as your blog is mostly full of hate towards Muslims, it sure looks like you’re glad there are fewer Muslims in the world.

  28. And at least they haven’t had their sleep deprived or been subjected to Christine Aguilera music. That would be torture.
    But it seems everyone’s okay with Hellfire missiles and instant death. So maybe Obama’s prisoner treatment plan in practice will simply mean that we won’t take any prisoners. If that’s what his supporters had in mind why didn’t they just say so?

  29. This is something that I know you want to see from the new president so how about some of you suck it up and just say “good job”.

    I am quite pleased that President Obama is ascerting his power. I also enjoy the irony of how similar, hell identical, his tactics are to those of President Bush.

  30. John, Since according to your approach to life, the leftie nuanced outlook, humans are no more worthy than animals or plants, or the “planet” and in the words of the (post-history) famous French philosophers you adore, “la vie c’est merde” who cares if Musilms die?

  31. Do you remember him saying if he knew the enemy was hiding in another country he would go after them. Of course you remember that, you guys all made fun of it. Well, welll, well he did just that and he kept his word, like it or not. He never hid this mandate from the voters if some members of the far left dont like it too bad.

    ~Right of centre
    Good job?
    That strike in Pakistan is merely the continued momentum of George W. Bush’s policy.
    Actually, Left of centre, Zero said he would invade Pakistan. That means boots on the ground.
    That was probably before someone informed him that not only is Pakistan supposed to be an Ally, but has 172,800,000 people 6th largest population in the world, with a military of 619,000 personnel ranked 7th in the world. Oh and nook-U-lar weapons too.
    “W” was already sending UAVs into Pak and thumping the enemy, Zero just hasn’t rescinded that order yet, but he will.
    Why? Because the large number of Truthers that supported him don’t believe that Crazy Sammy was behind the 9/11 attack. They believe it was President Bush who cause the Twin Towers to fall and therefore there is no compelling need to fight the Taliban in Afghanistan anymore.
    John, according to Muslim values, if Mohamedans are killed by infidel missiles they are Shahids(martyrs)and are fast tracked straight to that great Bordello in the sky to be with Allan and smooch his black rock as much as they like.
    Killing them is doing them a favour from their point of view.

  32. I wonder what happens when they run out of virgins? It’s got to be getting close.

    “AFP: White House no comment on suspect Pakistan strikes
    WASHINGTON (AFP) – The White House Friday refused to comment on Pakistani reports that suspected US drones had fired missiles into presumed militant dens in the northwest tribal belt.
    “As you know I am not going to comment on those matters,” spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters despite being repeatedly pressed to discuss the reports.”

    Spellcheck works..there=their. hehe

  35. O is a neo-con?
    This is piling Ossa on Olympus.
    O is a neo-con? A neo-con?
    Look at this from leftist Judis:
    “Judis writes: “This strikes me as either boilerplate or an exaggeration of the danger posed by al Qaeda. It is reminiscent of George W. Bush and his catch-all war on terror. Obama and the country clearly face grave problems overseas; but they can’t be reduced to a ‘far-reaching network.’” Really?? And reminiscent of Bush? This, as we know, is about the nastiest smear a liberal could make against Obama.”

    “Obama the Neoconservative?
    Pajamas Media ^ | January 23 | Ron Radosh
    In the area of foreign policy, where neo-cons in our own age have been most influential, Obama has echoed many of their concerns, and has adopted his own variant of a hawkish foreign policy. He has emphasized the need to win in Afghanistan, not to allow Iran to go nuclear, and has supported Israel’s right to defend itself against Hamas terrorists. Yet, Obama left many of the specifics out; what would he do differently about Iran, North Korea, wiretapping of phones to monitor terrorist chat, etc? Would he, in fact, really do much that was different from the Bush administration?…..”
    http://pajamasmedia.com/ronradosh/2009/01/21/obama-the-neoconservative/

  36. Has anyone given thought that this is still below his radar? Will it be changed once someone like Ms Pelozi brings it to his attention.
    Should we really assume he knew about this before it happened?
    Just curious!…mel

  37. Here’s what Rush had to say about it:
    RUSH: Well, the Bush policy apparently has been renewed and reauthorized by President Obama, which has led to anti-American sentiments. Missiles fired from a suspected US spy plane killed now ten people on the Pakistan side of the Afghan border, a lawless region where Al-Qaeda militants are known to hide out. So I guess what we’re to take from this, the Obama administration — which I support, I just don’t support the policies — it’s okay to kill these people, but don’t capture ’em. If he doesn’t have to answer questions, why should anybody else? Obama signed an executive order this week closing Club Gitmo and the CIA black sites. This is why I’m conflicted, folks, you’ll just have to excuse me here, but I thought during the campaign and all during the last four to five years we kept hearing from tenured, respected — ahem — members of the Democrat Party that killing Muslims is what caused all of our problems in the Middle East, that and supporting Israel. Killing Muslims made them hate us.
    I thought that if we got the hell out that they would start liking us again like during the Carter years. Oh, and that reminds me. Barack Obama has ordered Israel to open the borders to the gazookas! He has told Israel to open the borders so the gazookas from Gaza could get closer to aim their rockets, I guess. It’s a mishmash out there. We will sort all of this out, as the program unfolds. By the way, with these ten people killed in Pakistan, did the Israelis release a statement of concern about the innocents killed by the Obama administration? Well, when Israel returns fire, when Israel defends itself from thousands of gazooka rockets, we always issue a statement of concern about the innocent people in the Gaza Strip that were killed by Israeli rockets. So I wonder, has Israel — somebody look this up — has Israel released a statement of concern about the innocents killed by the Obama administration in Pakistan?
