Explain what? Who do you think went around to the townsfolk, saying,
"Hey...we need to form up a militia."

Who organized the townfolk to form a fire brigade?

Who got a city behind building a hospital?

These are all community organizer jobs. You may think such tasks are not
community organizing, but that is exactly what they are.

The problem here is that you righties are hung up on the phrase. You
have no idea of what it really means. Community organizing is simply
helping people with similar interests band together to achieve common goals.

That's what I tought.

Under that definition, my DI could be considered a "community
organizer".

I support the idea that the term "community organizer" be changed to
"social engineer".

That should clear up any confusion. :)

Wow. Barack Obama formed a militia?
Caused a hospital to be built?
Formed a fire department?

I've "mis-underestimated" him, to quote our past POTUS.

I think all he ever accomplished was collecting Acorns.

Afghanistan will be President Obama's Vietnam.

Gad, i love these pronouncements from Mt. Olympus. You're beginning to
sound like BAR. I thought you were a lot brighter.

Consider that in your memory, one of the mightiest militaries in the
world, couldn't keep Afghanistan under it's control

The Persians couldn't do it, the Mongols couldn't go it, the British
couldn't do it, the Russians couldn't do it and in truth, we won't be
able to do it either without a massive military commitment that will
make Russia's efforts pale in comparison.

Afghanistan is a harsh and forbiddable place. In some aspects, it's a
lot like Vietnam with ready hiding places, a dedicated faith based
death cult insurgency (as opposed to an ideological based insurgency)
and no ready way to get military assets in and out without assistance
from governments who don't quite see the world the way we do.

I can't wait for all the complaints about dead soldiers in the
upcoming Afghanistan debacle that will be known as "Obama's War".

Keep your liberal fingers warmed up - I expect complaints from you
about the cost of "Obama's War" on Afghanistan.

And I'm archiving all your replies to this post just to keep you
honest. :)

Funny how the MSM never even noted that Iraq had a free election last
weekend without violence... You don't get it because you don't feel a
countries people should have a voice...
