My good friend and fellow cynic, TOL, forwarded the below observation on Bob Woodward's new book.... recently released "Obama's Wars" and how it paints a CnCas entirely incompetant, but tone deaf and so massive ego driven that even black holes cannot resist the Obamaforce.

"During an interview with Woodward in July, the president said, 'We can absorb a terrorist attack. We'll do everything we can to prevent it, but even a 9/11, even the biggest attack ever. .. we absorbed it and we are stronger'."

This failed "commnity organizer" is unfit to visit the Oval Office, let alone pretend to be president. Woodward's caiotic behind-the-scenes expose only confirms my resolve to recommend that young Americans enlist in the military during his administtation... they will die for a traitor.

I always follow TOL's suggestion... see what you think in his guest post below which I'm printing without his approval (I'm on the way back to the Southern Command after a Traveling Wall Tribute to Vietnam Veterans in the great community of North Platte Nebraska.):

Bob Woodward.

Yeah, I know, cocktail party liberal whose best work was never anybody's "best work."

But if you missed his recent appearance on Charlie Rose, you owe it to yourself to go to the Charlie Rose website and pull up that episode.

In his new book "Obama's Wars," Woodward throws the president under the bus like nobody has ever been thrown under the bus.  The thrust of the book (and the Rose interview) is that the Pentagon and the President are passing each other like speedboats in the night and so far from each other as to barely see the other's running lights.

That probably will not surprise you.  But what might shock you (it sure as hell shocked me) was the obvious degree to which this display of critical mismanagement shocked Bob Woodward.  The same Bob Woodward that we can assume would have gladly butt-licked the President on any of the dozen or so stages at the inaugural balls in January of '09,  was so stunned by the Commander-in-chief's incompetency on all things military that it took an increasingly frustrated Charlie Rose the better part of the hour to extract the full measure of Woodward's apoplexy.  Each time Rose asked a pointed question, Woodward would try to put the chaos into some sort of perspective.....and then usually failed.

Everything from why the Pentagon refused to give the President any of the Afghanistan options he demanded OTHER THAN a 40,000-man troop surge to Obama's obvious petulant irritation at having to be a "war-time" president.to Gates' prior quote that it would be a "disaster" if Tom Donilon succeeded Jim Jones as National Security Advisor, as was announced Friday.  A horrified Woodward described it all, but then went deer-into-the-headlights when attempting to find a rationale -- ANY rationale -- by which to explain it.

Finally, however, Woodward did manage to articulate the sum of all his fears.  He sees the world in general and this country in particular at a crossroads unlike anything we've faced in the past.  And the manner in which we are fumbling the ball apparently fills him with an impending sense of doom.  So much so that when asked by a friend if he saw his roll and that of the book as "a whistle blower," Woodward replied that, yes, he saw it just that way.

Straight out of the online pages of Leatherneck M31. 

Except we heard it from Woodward. 

BOB Woodward.
