Air Force erases drone strike data in Afghanistan war report just one day after Rand Paul´s filibuster. Article by Leslie Larson from the Daily Mail .
The Air Force has erased data on drone strikes in Afghanistan from their most recent report that was released just one day after Sen. Rand Paul´s filibuster on Wednesday. Since last October, Air Force Central Command had provided statistics on the number of weapons released from Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. As the debate on drone use heats up in the heartland, the Air Force report released on March 7 failed to list airstrikes from drones and many believe it´s no coincidence given the Obama administration´s embarrassment after Sen. Paul took the president to task
Nobody is interested in that data except right wing Wacko Birds. Senator Bluster, er, McCain, not to change the subject, but tell us some more about your dinner with the President. Is this a guy you can really work with?…if those Wacko Birds would just shut up and go away?
This is one example of how Senator Lindsey Graham has come to be known by Veritas editors as “Senator Blather”, part of the not-so-dynamic duo of “Senators Bluster (John McCain) and Blather”.
Senator Graham talked a tough, convincing game back in February and garnered some of his prize objectives…headlines. But, now it’s March and the nation has two of the most unqualified (in McCain’s words) and potentially dangerous presidential appointments possibly ever seen.
What Americans do not have are any of the answers Senator Blather was going to take on the President to get.
And these two Senators lay claim to being the “Adults” in the Republican Party.

Lindsey Graham threatens to hold up confirmations of John Brennan, Chuck Hagel (February 10th Washington Post).
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Sunday threatened to block the confirmations of President Obama’s nominees for secretary of defense and head of the Central Intelligence Agency if the administration does not provide more information about its response to the deadly Sept. 11,2012 attack on a diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya.“I don’t think we should allow [John] Brennan to go forward for the CIA directorship, [Chuck] Hagel to be confirmed as secretary of defense,until the White House gives us an accounting. Did the president ever pick up the phone and call anyone in the Libyan government to help these folks? What did the president do?” Graham said on CBS News’ “Face The Nation.”
Is this why Governor Bobby Jindal calls the GOP the “stupid Party”? DLH
