Pirates of The Caribbean residuals the Seattle Kraken were officially welcomed into the National Hockey League Friday. Even before playing a single game, or, for that matter, having a single player under contract, the team has already won a title, assuming playing its home games in the silliest named sports venue imaginable is a title. Climate Pledge Arena, anyone?

now, horizon for departing but a long time line he can t be accused by mccain and others of cutting and running. them gets him through the election but begs a lot of substantive questions on the ground. do you accept the fact there s no way to prevent reemergence of al qaeda in that country as a threat to us without the success of the karzai government in effect. i couldn t agree more with what mark just said. what we have here is a metaphor, darkness of war, lightness of end of war. but what happens in the lightness. what are the rules of engagement? what is the cost? commitment of congress to continue to fund a u.s. presence in what is going to be the belief and actual, not rhetorical chris, but actual ability of afghan police forces and army forces to defend their own country? not just in kabul, but throughout the entire vast country, which is now largely dominated. either by warlord or taliban insurgens. the other thing, kabul is now a
eisenhower, a man who was i consider to be one of the great presidents of the 20th century, made famous that declaration, i shall good to korea. commandener chiefs have been using politics. to further policy. and you, i think you have underlined a great point as has chuck. the president of the united states has used this one-year anniversary to promote his afghanistan policy. to to be blunt about it, as much respect as i have for john mccain and as much as i like lindsay graham, i would feel a lot more comfortable if those two hawks, those two neoconservative republicans were condemning the president s policy because the fact they are out supporting him means one thing. that means, the neocons have won. well be in afghanistan until 2020. and again, three years ago, i was saying we didn t need to triple the number of troops. people say # said we would be
you see a john mccaine lindsay graham. mitt romney toned back the criticism he was talking about with the issue of whether the obama was politicizing this issue. but because of this agreement that is being signed, if you will, and what they have agreed to do, an agreement to have an agreement about what the u.s. military press sense going to be in afghanistan after 2014. that is what the president is announcing and what he s agreed to. there will be a military presence. not the same as it is now. not combat troops. not out front. but there will be a presence in afghanistan until 2024 and there are a lot of members in the republican party wanted the president to agree to this and this needed to be done. why did they pick today? well, even the white house admits they picked today it was not just a coincidence because they believe that one, it is an important day to for those folks in afghanistan and to those folks in america and you use it as a way to to essentially
republican party, when it comes to military affairs in general and afghanistan, i think one of the reasons you won t hear them criticize the president right now, and if you note and why the tone changed with the john mccain and lindsay graham, because they have been screaming from the rooftops about a year. why won t the president use the bully pull pet to quote, sell afghanistan if you will. this is a case where the president is taking the most famous day, if you will now, in the car. closest thing this country will ever have to a ve day or vj day in this war, which is vobl day. the bin laden s death day and using that anniversary to talk about the future of our security relationships. and more hawkish. and to be hawkish. now look, that is why i think you will see more muted criticism from the more main stream voices. i have to get back it joe. joe, this joe, i just want to ask you this one way.
