Words have consequences.
Air Force kills 5 combat soldiers in Afghanistan.
Blame the CINC
Blame the B1crew, until facts demonstrate otherwise.
Benghazi!
There always have been and always will be friendly fire deaths.
A tragic error that is the nightmare of any pilot… The sooner we get the hell out of there, the better.
One note — this report is not completely accurate. The B-1 is not a stealth bomber, the B-2 is. The sortie was for close air support, something the B-2, stationed many thousands of miles away could not do. Seems unlikely that a B-1 would have sufficient reaction time to respond as well. Normally something like an F-16 (or even F-117) would be called in for this particular role.
Smart bombs, if they were used here, have extremely accurate targeting ability, so that would be a pilot or command error. Dumb bombs, often used by F-16's, are unfortunately, less discriminating and harder to direct to the intended target.
F-117 are no longer on active duty.
Thanks for pointing out that the B-1 is NOT a stealth bomber.
When is Udall going to start to pander to his natural constituency rather than the cable news hosts, the Economic Austerians (aka Roosevelts "Economic Royalists"), DC Insiders and WaPo Editorial Page writers?
Yes, we are glad the R Clown Car is in full meltdown mode. Want D's to win. But also want D's to cut the bullshit triangulation stategery that was so effective 10-15 years ago and is so obsolete today.
Never, because his "natural constituency" is going to vote for him anyway.
I will not be voting for Udall.
Then you're not much of a Democrat.
Nor is Udall.
Slow day at Squarestate? Oh yeah, I heard it closed due to lack of interest.
That's OK, as I understand it Ralphie voted for Tancredo so he is a registered Republican.
Yep. I'll be back to unaffiliated soon.
Me too.
June 25th.
Easy to do thanks to SoS Scott Gessler (douchebag Republican)
Although Gessler would like to take credit, I think the SCORE project was completed under Bernie. Its roots go back even further–all the way back to Gigi Dennis. The contract was signed in September, 2006.
By the way, you can go online and switch already (or so I was told by my Elections Director), but the Clerks are holding the updates until after the Primary.
Me too, Ralphie. I completed my mail-in ballot this morning, dropped it off at the Yuma County Courthouse, took a shower – and will be back to unaffiliated soon as well.
Understanding anything really isn't your strong suit, AC. What is this obsession you have with Ralphie? Is it because he knows something about you?
It's a little puppy dog thing, Curmudgeon. He follows me around, barks a lot, and shits everywhere.
I could loan you a rolled up newspaper . . .
. . . or a taser, or something ?!?
How about one of those invisible fences?
I think we are starting to see the effects of a frack(ture) in the Dem party of Colorado that may have implications in the Senate race, at least the NY Times thinks so.

oooooh, the Koch likes that one…
Never trust national media, of whatever form or persuasion, who parachute into a state, talk to a few of the usual suspects and then leap to a conclusion.
I knew he was lying before he got to his third word . . .
You have pleased the Koch, and the Koch is excited.
If you keep flogging the Kochs like this, something is going to happen that none of us wants to see.
If Andrew keeps treating the Koch this well, we may have to find a new position for him.
He'd better watch himself, before Elliot sues him for Unfair Competition.
**NOT INTENDED AS A PREDICTION OF LEGAL ACTION**
Tape some daisies to it and call it a vase…
OK. That is funny.
Joke all you want, Republican legal challenges did in fact leave the Clintons millions of dollars in debt when they left the White House.
Of course, neither of them were exactly short of money-making opportunities or credit line, and they each capitalized on their opportunities – something that can't be said for the majority of people in debt. (Nor are most people in debt by the millions that the Clintons were…)
Latest anti-fracking tactic: Lawsuits.
CELDF is counter-suing the state of Colorado, Governor Hickenlooper, and the Colorado Oil and Gas Association over the Governor's lawsuit against the fracking ban voted in last November.
My sources tell me that there are at least two more likely anti-fracking lawsuits in the, um, pipeline.
Eric Cantor may be on the verge of becoming the ex-House Majority Leader. With 76% of vote counted in his Cong. Dist. primary, he's trailing a tea bagger by about 6,000 votes.
I'll drink to that!
The downside of that is that he's trailing a teabagger. How safe is that district for Republicans, and do the Democrats have a candidate who can win? Otherwise, it's just more crazy in the House.
Dems do have a candidate: Jack Trammell. Whether he is viable or not remains to be seen…..
In other words, just more crazy in the House.
Well if Cantor isn't rightie enough for them, crazy is the only place for them to go.
He and Brat teach at the same college. Trammell is the higher rated in online reviews of professors.
If Cantor's out, who gets the position of House Minority Leader? Don't they have to elect someone?
I'll bet Gardner is kicking himself right now. He gave up a safe seat and a plausible shot at either Beohner or Cantor's leadership position and now finds himself in the inenviable postion of having his arse handed to him in a Kayak race across Lake Dillon by a 62 year old sitting Senator.
Here's a boat for Cory boy to show off his youthful paddling skills.
Immigration activists left rubber duck boats for Kevin McCarthy and other GOP players to ask them not to "duck and hide" from immigration rights advocates.
McCarthy, who happens to hold Frank Underwood's old job, normally would be a logical candidate for majrotiy leader. But according to NY Times, Tom Price of Georgia is complaining that the current leadership doesn't represent any red states. Since McCarthy is from California and is perceived to be a RINO, he's probably not going to be the new majority leader.
Here is hoping that they now degenerate into a vicious bloodbath in electing a new leader at the conclusion of which the most batshit crazy, bark-at-the-moon wing nut emerges victorious.
. . . the same thing [they] do every night, Pinky . . .
Update: AP has called Virginia CD 7 for David Brat (great name for a tea bagger). Looks like John Boner doesn't have to worry about Cantor gunning for speaker anytime soon.
Perhaps the curse of the Emerald Isle?
