glanton is canknutcase's wife.
They're gay.
They've been butt hurt for years (literally) and finally were able to get married.
So that's why they're so butt hurt and need to be such stoopid anonymous nutcases .....

Less than 48 hours ahead of a planned address to the nation on how the U.S. plans to combat Islamic State terrorists operating in Iraq and Syria, President Obama dined at the White House Monday with a slate of foreign policy experts.
Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, and Secretary of State John Kerry were joined by some of Washington’s most established foreign policy hands, including Clinton National Security Adviser Sandy Berger and Zbigniew Brzezinski, who held the same position during the Carter administration.
Former Obama national security adviser Tom Donilon was also at the dinner, as was former Undersecretary for Defense Policy Michele Flournoy, Council on Foreign Relations president Richard Haass, and Stephen Hadley, who was national security adviser under George W. Bush. Former Rep. Jane Harman (D-Mich.), former acting CIA director Michael Morell, and Brookings Institution president Strobe Talbott rounded out the group of invited guests.
“The President looks forward to engaging with this group and hearing their views on a range of national security and foreign policy issues,” a White House official said.
The meeting comes as the president is set to address the nation Wednesday and expected to detail his strategy for confronting the threat posed by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
"Over the course of months, we are going to be able to not just blunt the momentum of (ISIS)," the president said in an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press. "We are going to systematically degrade their capabilities. We're going to shrink the territory that they control. And ultimately we're going to defeat them."
On Tuesday, the president will meet with congressional leaders at the White House to discuss that strategy.
Obama said he wants the American people to understand "we have the capacity” to deal with ISIS but that “this is a serious threat.”
What, no foreign policy geniuses from ST at these dinners or meetings? Oh man, we're doomed.

"CBS White House reporter Mark Knoller is the unofficial but widely trusted chronicler of data on presidential travels and other day-to-day White House goings-on, so we turned to his calculations.
On Aug. 8, 2014, Knoller tweeted that Obama had taken 19 vacations totaling 125 days so far while in office. Those numbers have risen a bit due to the Martha’s Vineyard vacation, but that’s still many fewer than George W. Bush’s 65 combined trips to his Texas ranch and his parents’ home in Kennebunkport, Maine, which totaled 407 days at the same point in his presidency.
Not included in this data are trips to the Camp David presidential retreat in western Maryland, which Knoller doesn’t count as "vacation." Knoller told Yahoo! News that, through Aug. 12, 2014, Obama had made 33 visits to Camp David for all or part of 84 days, while Bush had been there 108 times for all or part of 341 days."

The Chief spends countless hours pulling the wings off flies and lovingly raising them in a shoebox, while Crankster can bury himself in a proctology text for days on end, yet neither's ability to post is hampered.
You can either make effective foreign policy or you can't - regardless of your T off time.
The Persh Merga can Iraqi Army can squeeze ISIS from N and S, but somebody needs to squeeze from Syria, and it clearly isn't going to be us. Assad + Iran? Opposition + Saudis? Both?
Safe to say this isn't a good math problem for the GW type.
Smart, level-headed, strategically-minded golfers only.

I'm giving Obama 'a thumbs up' for his management of this so far. There is most likely much more going on behind the scenes that you ST'ers are not privy too. I know...that probably blows your all-knowing minds. Ultimately this is an Arab problem and needs an Arab solution. We don't need to spend any more than the $7.5 million/day we are dropping on ISIS Tundra's.
Yup + 1
I was shocked when he got pushed into the "Red Line" comment while on a trip to Israel. But he backed offa that and it was a gutsy thing to do. A very good thing now. Keeping our options open and not allying with anyone, is prolly the best policy.
