Maybe ole “Light in the Loafers” Lindsey will man up and do a Teddy Roosevelt, and lead the charge!

If it’s Ms. Lindsey leading the charge, it’s sure to become the trail of tears, following some difficult brown of course.

Graham on Fox
This is a turning point in the war in terror. We’re fighting a terrorist army, not an organization. It’s going to take an army to beat an army.

I will not let this president suggest to the American people we can outsource our security and this is not about our safety. There is no way in hell you can form an army on the ground to go into Syria, to destroy ISIL without a substantial American component.

I’m tired of hearing from this administration and my friends on the other side and within my party, that this is somehow easy and really not our fight. Name one Arab army you could put together anytime soon to deal with a terrorist army of over 30,000 without a substantial American commitment. Not the 82nd Airborne, but intelligence, Special Forces, to go in there and dig these guys out. I am tired of hearing from this administration how easy this is going to be, when it’s going to be hard and the consequences of losing my friend, is if they survive our best shot, this is the last best chance, to knock him out, then they will open the gates of hell to spill out on the world. This is not a Sunni versus Sunni problem, this is ISIL versus mankind.

You notice that fits removed the “raising the house photo” then removed the whole article. I’ve never know of fits to do that before.
Why? Some possibilities:
1. Baby mama didn’t like.
2. Bravo employee illegally working for campaign.
3. Shows T-Rav in embarrassing light.

Wow… the TR campaign implosion continues to pick up speed. It’s almost like that horrible old footage of our B-17’s getting shot down over Germany. One engine starts to smoke, then a second, then a wing dips and the big bird starts slowly falling out of the formation. Even though you know it’s 70 year old footage, you can’t help but start praying for 10 parachutes. Speaking engagements for 15 people, ZERO play from the SC mainstream press, no movement in the polls, no big fundraising numbers (or they’d be voluntarily bragging about them), and now even the FITS fellatio can evidently be recalled! It’s time to start counting parachutes, TR…

Oh, TR isn’t going anywhere, amigo. Although if he did, I don’t know what FITS would do. I doubt it would be Hutto, though, but who knows? Moot point, though. Our boy TR will no doubt continue to pummel us (although only on FITS, because he’s pretty easy to avoid out in the MSM) with his self importance and narcissism right up until election day, unless he could find a graceful exit to save face. That would be tough at this point, I would think.

Who cares. All media removed stories at times. I, like tens of millions of others in the USA, pray that Graham the Demon ends up removed.
So its been several years since you have set foot in a church, we hear. Guess you built your own private little shrine to Graham. Does it include a life size poster of him weather a leather garter belt and black stockings? Never mind. I do not really wish to know details of your perverted dark side.

Yes you do. That’s why you watch T-Rav on Bravo. But I’m not going to reveal it. You’re just going to have to get pleasure from your fertile imagination.

I’ve caught several articles that disappeared but then reappeared. I think one of them was sent straight to archives . And you have to guess which category an article has been cataloged (see links at top and bottom of page and in archives).

Ravenel’s photo ads in the articles have also disappeared – this may be a tactic similar to this

====================

Milo Moroni decided to run for political office, and was told he needed to hire a press agent. So he hired one at $500 per week. The first week, no press at all. Milo called his agent and said, “What’s happening?”

He said, “They’re talking about ya, baby, they’re talking about ya.”

Two more weeks go by, a $1,000 more, and no press. Milo is pretty mad. He called his agent and said, “Hey, what’s happening here?”

He said, “They’re talking about ya, baby, they’re talking about ya.”

Five weeks go by, $2,500 down the drain and not a thing to show for it. Milo was so mortified and angry that he went down to his office, barged right in, and said, “What’s happening? What’ve I got to show for my $2,500?”

He said, “They’re talking about ya, baby, they’re talking about ya.”

Milo said, “Oh, yeah? So what’re they saying?”

He said, “They’re saying, “Whatever happened to Milo Moroni?”

What colors will be in fashion this fall for our military boots on the ground? Will it be the Sheikh desert colors that have taken us to the top in the look that kills, or will we move to less of a patchwork design.. perhaps a lighter sandy solid, with a reddish sheen to pick up the greens and reds of the variegated background?

Will ascots see a return this year?

I was always quite partial to that old classic, black, at least during night time festivities. During the day, my fashion-forward “posse” wore chic earth tones and local headdress in an effort to be just fashionable enough to not be overly noticeable until it was time to be noticed. Good fashion advice never goes out of style.

You may have missed it. But, our Constitution mandates a civilian Commander in Chief to be in charge of our military.
Obama showed with the extensive, months long, discussions he had with the military in 2009 prior to his decision about what to do with the Afghanistan mess he was left with that he does indeed listen to commanders.
But, like George Bush, he is the “decider”. Not the whore mongering David Petraeus or the insubordinate Stanley McCrystal.
If you want the type of society where military commanders are in charge of foreign and domestic policy, you will need to go to one of those countries where the president or prime minister wears a uniform.
And, to call Obama an ideologue displays too much ignorance of the definition of the word to waste time on.

When I took the oath I fully understood the CinC was a civilian. And you are just as much an ideologue as the CinC as is evident by your statement of Petraeus and McCrystal.

Why is he doing this as OUR nation is trying to put together a coalition of the Arab League nations to start to take over the policing of their own neighborhood?

Why in the hell have we been training the UAE, Saudi, Jordanian, etc militaries for decades except to do exactly this?

You would think he is intentionally, not just ignorantly and stupidly, giving aid and comfort to the terrorists cutting off people’s heads by attacking what OUR nation is trying to do to stop them by mobilizing their fellow Muslims to take back their region and their religion from the extremists.

Did Lindsey act like this when G.H.W. Bush was putting together his 1991 Iraq coalition? Or, is he just trying to make political hay on sending more Americans to die?

Vote Brad Hutto or anyone other than Lindsey Graham.

I think some may be a little hard on Graham. First, what does “boots on the ground mean?” Surely not brigade size deployments but special forces. And Obama has already deployed Special Forces to Syria on a rescue mission for the American hostages that was sent too late.

I’ll join in the pile on on Lindsay (I’m not a big fan of his but he is right from time to time and this is one such) when he demands a large troop commitment. Until then, this issue is too serious and too important for the sophomoric comments I read below.
