- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -11/+40On the flip side of this, did you also hear that Obama said the surge is working as well?
- nmessick, on 07/23/2008, -7/+28Come on now... even Obama has updated his website saying that the surge was a success (it used to say it was a failure).
- Jamihabs, on 07/23/2008, -5/+26The surge worked. By trying to refute this fact, the left looks childish....again.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -38/+57Huffingtonpost.com - buried.
- Spure, on 07/23/2008, -8/+27and yet another McCain article that will soon rise to the top 10.
- irvin666, on 07/23/2008, -3/+21Alright, we GET IT! People on digg do not like McCain.
- rpfinley, on 07/23/2008, -2/+19I always welcome articles with a different viewpoint but this article mostly rehashes the history of the Iraq war and spends very little time on McCain. It does touch such favorites as WMD, KBR, John Bolten, Wall Street elites, lied this nation to war, etc. It seems to me the author found the top 20 search terms on huffingtonpost and put it into one article, its a pretty crappy article and the only explanation is that people who have dugg it haven't spent the 15 minutes to read it.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -6/+23Sorry Hitler lovers, buried as Huffspam……
- TinternAbbot, on 07/23/2008, -3/+19After the surge, violence has decreased dramatically. I don't see what the problem is.
- vexingmodstwo, on 07/23/2008, -8/+23You know what's even worse? According to his profile MakiMaki is ***** Canadian. Some Canadian is getting paid to submit stories to Digg and generate traffic for those piece of ***** blogs.
- stix213, on 07/23/2008, -2/+1780% reduction in violence post surge sounds successful to me. Remember, Obama's plan at the time was to just pull out and let this whole Iraq war be settled in a good old fashioned blood bath... where civilian casualties would have likely been measured in the millions, all in the name of ending war.
- markgl, on 07/23/2008, -6/+20Yeah well the anti war have been saying "lose" and "defeat" and "failure" without really defining what they mean as well.
- mediaspree, on 07/23/2008, -5/+19Are we going to fill the "Top In All Topics" section with this story?
- qXdc, on 07/23/2008, -8/+22Buried due to source being Huffinton Post.
- PawnsOfJoshua, on 07/23/2008, -1/+15The problem is that uneducated digg fackers lack any capacity to acknowledge a good thing when it comes from an opposing political ideology. Not all liberals are as ignorant as diggliberals. I for one see it as conservative policy = success = a good thing, even though most conservative policies make me sick to my stomach. It is the principle of an issue with which I agree or disagree, not the political gang who champion it, and when a policy results in less people dying, I don't see how anyone can call it a bad thing. To be *that* sort of liberal is far worse than being an ideological conservative any day of the week.
- paulmer2003, on 07/23/2008, -4/+18Bured. Get this ***** off of the front page.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -5/+19Does anyone realize that MCCAIN was more of a pain in the ass to Bush than Obama was?
In fact Obama was so silent in the Senate, I doubt anyone knew who he was.
But then it was only his 1st term in the Senate - but thats enough to be president right? - PawnsOfJoshua, on 07/23/2008, -4/+17Buried for being submitted by MakiMaki
- vexingmodstwo, on 07/23/2008, -1/+14The content of the article can be summed up as follows: "Vote for Obama"
That's all those articles are about. Therefore, it is spam. - vexingmodstwo, on 07/23/2008, -1/+14It's not a conspiracy, you moron. It's a business. They've even carved out niches for themselves. MakiMaki does politics, MBM does the quirky stuff for the most part, Msaleem dabbles with politics but sticks to blog and tech.
It's gamed, man. You mean you didn't know? - inactive, on 07/23/2008, -7/+20Yay! More huffingtonpost spam to bury! And this article is extra-lie-filled so the pleasure
is even greater!
You liberals gobble this BS up don't you? I'm embarrassed for you. - arpad, on 07/23/2008, -10/+22Take it up with Obama; he thinks the surge has resulted in success.
Al Queda's on the run, the Sunnis are being dragged into the national government and the national army has turned out to be competent and, so far, non-partisan. I'll keep my fingers crossed on the latter but as for the rest of it you hysterical MoveOn.org types are just looking like a bunch of sore losers. - ImperialRome, on 07/23/2008, -0/+12Let's review a bit further back, let's take this back to 1998. Congress passed a resolution making the national policy towards Iraq a policy of regime change. Saddam kicked out the weapons inspectors, so the 50 million dollars wasn't going to buy us anything like security. Saddam was subverting the Oil for Food program by greasing the UN overseers with fat oil contracts. He was going to get out of the "home detention" program we were using to contain him.
Since this was likely to succeed, we needed a new solution. Saddam was causing so much trouble that it was going to be impossible to keep him in his sandbox.
Add to that the growing Iranian nuclear program, and the revelation that Iran was buying and using hundreds of cascading centrifuges for uranium enrichment and you begin to see the greater problem. Imagine the situation when Saddam learns Iran is building a nuclear bomb right next door. In Saddam's mind, he would be the first target. What would Saddam do in this situation but start building a bomb himself?
What we get is a situation where all the players in the mideast start building nuclear weapons and the non-proliferation agreement goes out the window.
Removing Saddam was about more than his weapons of mass destruction. It was also about preventing their spread and their future use. It was about keeping dangerous regimes from giving those weapons to terrorists, and about halting the governments responsible for state-sponsored terrorism.
But the myopia of the Huffpo crowd is understandable. They would rather see enemies at home than believe there are enemies abroad. - nmessick, on 07/23/2008, -4/+15of course he did. Its politics. He'd never say that our military and persistence worked.
- toekneebullard, on 07/23/2008, -2/+13Well yeah, but isn't the Iraqi Government doing that sorta the point of the surge? The surge has made the place safer (ish) so the government can operate.
"It worked, but it only worked because it worked." - eitup, on 07/23/2008, -1/+12Doesn't Obama want a surge in Afghanistan? Does this make him a hypocrite?
- nextbgates95, on 07/23/2008, -2/+13Who remembers Dan Rather?
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -0/+11I've noticed that the Nutroots love to skew Senator McCain's name to suit their moronic fancy, and with the prefix of "Mc," I guess it's easy to do... "McSame, McBush, McOld," ect. Let anyone twist Obama's last name or even USE his middle name, however, and they soil their panties and scream "bigot," or "racist."
- juanchopanza, on 07/23/2008, -4/+14Send her back to Greece.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -25/+35I think McCain and the Republican's definition of "winning' is a situation where Iraq is less ***** than it was a year ago. Where's the weapons of mass destruction? Where's the $20 for a barrel of oil? Where's the reconstruction paying for itself? What the hell did the American people get out of this war? As Chris Rock might say, what's my Iraq prize?
We paid the Sunnis not to shoot at us and that's our definition of progress? - juanchopanza, on 07/23/2008, -3/+13We are leaderless. Obama is a paper tiger, a Chinese shadow lantern effect; McCain is a compromiser without an audience. What's with the USofA? We elect a circle-jerk governor with Hippy creds, then we get to choose between two, spoiled rich kid, anti-intellectuals and Yale graduates in 2000 and 2004 - all three were losers and continue to prove so. Now we have two guys who have never had a friend they won't roll under the bus. Michelle's hiding out today in my town, avoiding all press and not interacting with anyone who isn't certified or certifiable. This election sucks, and we haven't even got to the conventions. Where's Richard Pryor when you really need him? Insouciance may be the winner in November.
- neveroddoreven, on 07/23/2008, -2/+11You know I think these comments show an interesting trend. The republicans are gaining ground in digg. It used to be that liberals with their huffpost, dailykos, etc would flood the comments on pretty much any allegation against the right (and even hillary). But now more and more republicans, or people who are annoyed at huffspam, are countering the liberal's propensity to complain. Now people who are making reasonable comments that contradict huffspam, ie "Obama even agrees the surge is working" do not get burried but dugg. I for one welcome should I say a more even playing field. There will most likely not be a completely 40/20/40 composition between liberals/moderates/republicans. But I think it helps with discource having different views instead of one steady drone.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -0/+8Amen... it's nice to have thought-provoking debate on here for a change, instead of the caustic misrepresentations of the left. Now if we could only get some more credible sources it may improve even further.
- datastorageguy, on 07/23/2008, -18/+26It's amazing how McCain was the darling of the left and the media when he was running against Bush in the primary and now he is too old, he is the same as Bush (despite the two being completely different, not even liking eachother, and having different political views on many subjects), McCain is a warmonger...the list goes on and on.
Nonsense all of it. - inactive, on 07/23/2008, -4/+12So Serbia was for the oil too?
So getting Iraq out of Kuwaiit, we should not have done?
So actually LEAVING IRAQ the first time after desert storm - was for the oil?
I think everyone is done listening to the liberal STUPID (idiots), that want the world to burn and let no one do anything. And if anyone does anything, criticize it and create a conspiracy theory.
PS - stupid is an adjective not a noun you STUPID idiot. - smittie, on 07/24/2008, -1/+9I wonder how much Huffington Post pays MakiMaki to sit in his home in Canada and dig every article on the Huffington Post blog?
BURIED! - inactive, on 07/23/2008, -0/+8You Nutroots love to skew Senator McCain's name to suit your moronic fancy, and with the prefix of "Mc," I guess it's easy to do... "McSame, McBush, McOld," ect. Let anyone twist Obama's first name or even USE his middle name, and you soil your panties about it. Nice.
- inigomntoya, on 07/23/2008, -0/+8Is that what you call all optimists? You must have been really popular in organized sports...
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -10/+18I was gonna say the same thing.
Even OBAMA says the surge is a success, and getting ***** for flipping his story saying he always knew more men would make a difference.
"in the same sense a rape or murder is a success."
You mean how raper and murder were happening in Iraq without anyone to stop it? Like in Serbia as well.
So letting rape and murder happen unchecked... by people like you who want to ignore it, makes it all ok???
Sorry the USA is a bit better than people like YOU. - MadOgre, on 07/23/2008, -2/+9A lot of Democrats like to say McCain is a little Bush. No, he's not. We don't like him. I'm Conservative and McCain was the LAST of the candidates I'd want.
- Proctor, on 07/23/2008, -19/+26We need two new candidates.
- vexingmodstwo, on 07/23/2008, -22/+29Bury huffpost *****.
- inigomntoya, on 07/23/2008, -1/+8http://obamacorn.com/img/yes_we_can_3.png
- vexingmodstwo, on 07/23/2008, -4/+11Oh, you naive fool. This thing is gamed to the hilt. MakiMaki, MBM, et al have a bunch of minions who will vote for anything they submit without even reading it. If these submissions were actually submitted by anyone else they would never make it to the front page.
Don't kid yourself. Those guys get paid to submit stuff because they've got it rigged.
EDIT: And now that I've said this what you will find is that they'll get a few of their minions to submit stories on their behalf and they will favorite those submissions so the other minions will know what to Digg without even reading the stories. - inactive, on 07/23/2008, -26/+32huffington post says the surge isn't working? Who knew? jesus dude.
- 5urr3al5am, on 07/23/2008, -5/+10what do you expect.. huffingtonpost == bs rag
- TinternAbbot, on 07/23/2008, -0/+5America is destroying its standard of living by cutting interest rates. Also, Ivy League grads from New York City generally don't watch NASCAR. FYI.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -1/+5Awwww....swrostmore don't be angry because I've proven you to be less than my intellectual peer. You're outclassed, and so you resort to name-calling. Childish, really.
- BuckYouFozo, on 07/23/2008, -12/+16These gasket-blowing Libbies are so much fun to read. Their Hate-O-Meters require far more battery-power than anything needed to make a Prius putz around.
On the plus side, as a physician in a poison control center, I make sure MSNBC is on 24/7 at the clinic. This is especially effective when that birth defect Keith Olbermann is on. Seriously ill patients come in who are virulently sick; but after watching KO for just 5 minutes they puke it all out, and thus feel wonderful again!!! -
