A former Reagan defense official (and current CAP fellow) Lawrence Korb wrote an Op-Ed piece about Petraeus as a reliable source for an unbiased assessment in the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Maybe you figured we’d think CAP stood for Civil Air Patrol and you could embellish Korb’s credentials by slipping that past us. You figured wrong.

CAP is the Center for American Progress, a leftist outfit. On their site you can find this nugget:

The Center for American Progress is headed by John D. Podesta, former chief of staff to President William J. Clinton and a professor at Georgetown University Center of Law.

For those who didn’t know, John Podesta is one of Hillary’s inner circle.

So, what we have here is an associate of an thinly-veiled Clintonista organization writing a hit piece on General Petraeus. And tom hoped to fool us by calling it “unbiased”.

Consider yourself pwned, tom. Go peddle that nonsense on Kos or DU. ST and the commenters here are smarter than that.

We know better.

I kinda doubt that. Personally I will take the word of an honorable soldier who has served this country most of his life. Your article was an interesting one, yet it is only one man’s opinion. I saw Wesley Clark, surely no friend of the Bush Administration or the Iraq war, say in an interview that he did believe Petraeus, because he had known him a long time. So now I have the opinion of an anti-war, pro democrat to tell me that Petraeus will do the right thing.

It’s no wonder opinion on the War didn’t budge after the recent Sep dog-and-pony show.

Oh, I know. With every major news network and newspaper screaming failure, disaster, quagmire, and Vietnam every chance they get, I can’t imagine why the American people view the war unfavorably. Not to mention, it doesn’t matter what kind of good news comes out of Iraq, people like you don’t want to hear it. If someone notes progress in Iraq they are automatically labeled a Bush lap dog or, as in Petraeus case, a “dog and pony show”.

A former Reagan defense official (and current CAP fellow) Lawrence Korb wrote an Op-Ed piece about Petraeus as a reliable source for an unbiased assessment in the Philadelphia Inquirer. We’ve been getting rosy assessments of the War in Iraq from him for 5 years now! It’s no wonder opinion on the War didn’t budge after the recent Sep dog-and-pony show. We know better.

Anyway it’s very interesting:

Best-selling author John Grisham is sounding off about the president, his administration and the war. Grisham is hosting an event for Hillary Clinton Sunday near his Virginia home.

Hosting an event for Hillary Clinton? How absolutely vogue.

He tells the Des Moines register, “The war is an immoral abomination that we’ll pay for for decades to come. We’re paying for it now at the rate of 100 kids a month while Bush plays politics with it.”

Hmmm, somebody should tell John that his guest of honor, “We are the President” Clinton voted to authorize the use of force for that immoral abomination. I guess she gets a free pass.

And, of the president and his administration, “I’ve always thought that they were bad people with evil intent… I can’t stand those people and their incompetence is astounding.”

Oh, my sides. He actually accused someone else of being people with “evil intent” and being incompetent while at the same time raising money for Hillary?? How did he say that with a straight face?

The total hypocrisy and flat out stupidity of Hollywood/Authors never ceases to amaze me.

But it’s just …..ART!

She is lucky she isn’t dead right now.

BOSTON An MIT student wearing what turned out to be a fake bomb was arrested at gunpoint Friday at Logan International Airport and later claimed it was artwork and that she was there to meet her boyfriend, officials said.

Star Simpson, 19, had a white computer circuit board and wiring over a black hooded sweat shirt she was wearing, said State Police Maj. Scott Pare, the commanding officer at the airport.

MIT Student Arrested For Fake Bomb At Logan: Police Say Simpson Had Circuit Board, Wiring, and Play-Doh

BOSTON (AP) – An MIT student with what police feared was a fake bomb attached to her chest was arrested at gunpoint Friday at Logan International Airport and later claimed it was artwork, officials said.

Star Simpson, 19, had a computer circuit board and wiring in plain view over a black hooded sweat shirt she was wearing, said State Police Maj. Scott Pare, the commanding officer at the airport.

“She said that it was a piece of art and she wanted to stand out on career day,” Pare said at a news conference. “She claims that it was just art, and that she was proud of the art and she wanted to display it.”

Simpson was charged with disturbing the peace and possessing a hoax device, and was to be arraigned in East Boston District Court later Friday.

“I’m shocked and appalled that somebody would wear this type of device to an airport,” Pare said.

Simpson was “extremely lucky she followed the instructions or deadly force would have been used,” Pare said. “She’s lucky to be in a cell as opposed to the morgue.”
