Code Pink now loves the war in Ass-stan, can’t get enough of it, will soon be wearing pink camouflage and pink Mike Dukakis helmets (don’t knock it till you’ve tried it):

If the rumors are true about Biden spearheading a movement inside the administration to scale back in Afghanistan, then we’ve actually reached the point where Code Pink is more hawkish than the vice president of the United States.

…

During their weeklong visit here, in which they met with government officials, politicians, ministers, women activists, and civil society groups, the small team of Code Pink members had hoped to gather evidence to bolster their call for US troop withdrawal within two years, and capitalize on growing anxiety back home about the war.

…

“We would leave with the same parameters of an exit strategy but we might perhaps be more flexible about a timeline,” says Benjamin. “That’s where we have opened ourselves, being here, to some other possibilities. We have been feeling a sense of fear of the people of the return of the Taliban. So many people are saying that, ‘If the US troops left the country, would collapse. We’d go into civil war.’ A palpable sense of fear that is making us start to reconsider that.”

Clear? Didn’t think so. What I think Ms. Benjamin is trying to say, delicately, is that she and her whole crew are full of pink s**t.

But that’s okay. Whatever it takes to get them to stop betraying their country is okay with us. Welcome aboard, ladies. Strap one on, and smoke ‘em if you got em.

Only I think here you and Cindy Sheehan part company. The girl may be crazy (grief, as opposed to grandstanding, can do that), but she’s consistent.

By the way, President Peace-nik: Where’s that change? I’m still hoping. (But that’s no change.) I began wondering about civilian casualties in Afghanistan and Pakistan. I saw there’s no easily located public informatioon. I found good data on Afghani casualties and very interesting information on Pakistani casualties. So I ask whether ratcheting these casualties up is really what a good litle Nobel laureate peace-nik President should be doing? (Oh well - same as it always was.) Guess I’ll just go away. What the *bleep* do I know anyway?

Don’t you go anywhere, Cindy. With your former compatriots abandoning you in droves, we need you now more than ever.
