Midknight Review -- new and revised: Now this bunch of geniuses thinks 500 million for 4 trained soldiers and a 100 in the pipeline is progress.

Editor's notes: The problem with the current crop of Progressives is this: they are no good with numbers. Take Obama: he can't write a cogent budget proposal. He tried it five times, got 2 "yes" votes and a 1016 "no" for four of his "proposals. The fifth was rejected by the CBO, the budget office telling Obama, "We do not score speeches." When on the campaign trail in 2008, he bragged about how many states he had visited, "57 or is it 58, and we didn't go to two states." Let's see, I believe that adds up to 60 states. The man speaks at an 8th grade level, and has no clue how to pronouince "corps" as in "Marine Corps." His pronunciation is for "corpse," which is a dead body . . . . . not appropriate when addressing the Marine ~~Corpse~~ Corps. That he is smarter than Sarah Palin is laughable . . . and now, his people think, two years into fighting the JV team in Iraq, that spending hundreds of millions of dollars and training 4 fighters with "100 in the pipeline" is progress.
Its not that he is black. My problem with this clown is that he is stupid.

National Review -- The news that the Obama administration has spent $500 million to put “four or five” fighters on the ground in Syria adds an almost comic irony to what is ultimately a tragic farce. In the 1980s, the symbol of Republican incompetence and mismanagement was the $600 toilet seat. Left out of the media coverage was the fact that the toilet seat was for a special kind of anti-submarine aircraft that had been out of production and needed special retrofitting. But forget all that. How does that compare to spending $100 million per non-bionic human soldier? This news comes from General Lloyd J. Austin III, head of U.S. Central Command, or CENTCOM. Ever the loyal soldier, Austin insists that we should stay the course. It’s not really a tenth of a billion dollars for each rebel, we’ve got another hundred “in the pipeline,” he told Congress Wednesday. No doubt that will turn the tide. Besides, he says, the larger strategy in Syria is working. Specifically, he offered this word salad: “Despite some slow movement at the tactical level, we continue to make progress across the battlespace in support of the broader U.S. government strategy to degrade and ultimately defeat [the Islamic State].”

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
