Next Up, U.S. to Reinvade Vietnam
I suppose Anders Fogh Rasmussen’s heart is in the right place, but, um . NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said on Wednesday the Western military bloc is seeking greater Russian assistance for international operations in Afghanistan. Speaking to reporters after talks with President Dmitry Medvedev, Rasmussen said he was inviting Russia to step up its assistance in Afghanistan, including by supplying helicopters, spare parts and fuel, and by training pilots. What could possibly go wrong here? The last time the Russians stepped up “its assistance” in Afghanistan, the Afghan people went on to enjoy the fruits of Russian generosity and prosperity. NATO is right to underscore an essential continuity. Rasmussen — seriously now — has rather uncritically embraced the Afghanistan war to date as NATO secretary-general , but this is a new plateau. He might need a quick history lesson before this goes forward. See the article here: Next Up, U.S. to Reinvade Vietnam

A Fox News Poll on Our America-Hating President
Via Nate Silver , I’m just now seeing the full crosstabs of a 10/1 Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll. Looking it over, it’s tough to see how a straight-up Republican organization would have altered it at all. Most of the questions deal with fears of the national debt, which is one of the worst-reported, least-understood economic issues out there. And most of the rest deal with paranoid questions about Afghanistan that pit the president against his generals. The weirdness begins early: I guess it’s interesting to learn that a 5-point plurality of Republicans wish Hillary were president, but who’s been asking this? Next, a question from GOP talking points: Next, a clutch of debt questions that reveal — surprise! — that most Americans don’t want the government to spend money “so future generations don’t have to pay.” Next, the suggestion that “U.S. military commanders” are being overruled by the president’s feckless policies. And finally, some good, old-fashioned misinformation on terrorism.
