Afghan inks deal with Iran for access to seaport

AP /  September 5, 2012 

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The Afghan government has signed an agreement with Iran that gives land-locked Afghanistan access to a key seaport in the neighboring country.

Afghan Foreign Minister Zalmai Rasool and Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi inked the deal in Kabul on Wednesday.

Rasool told reporters that the agreement guarantees Afghanistan access to the Iranian port of Chabahar on the Indian Ocean. Iran has been working to develop Chabahar as a regional economic hub.

yeah, it's Mitt
 

1100 miles of coastline from the Persian Gulf
to the Indian Ocean

Last night the MittStake with the magic Mormon underwear continued his demonstration of his faith in the power of lies, no surprise. However on a number of subjects he also showed himself to be a male equivalent of Sarah Palin with the polish of an Ivy League education, which apparently taught him very little other than how to move money from where ever into the pockets and offshore accounts of himself and his ilk. Here is a man with two graduate degrees from Harvard (he should demand his money back) who has also traveled in the region who not only doesn't seem to realize that Iran has over a thousand miles of coastline, littered with too many ports for me to even list here, but had no access to Syria, other than by sea via the Suez Canal or through it's arch enemy, well they were arch enemies until G Dubya and his master Dick upset that apple cart, Iraq.

Let's Play Battleship

Nowadays folks can't seem to even play solitaire with actual cards anymore, but when I was a kid we used to play battleship with just a couple pieces of paper and pencils. Last night Obama beat Romney at a short hand of the Battleship game. After Romney bemoaned the fact that the U.S. Navy had less vessels today than during World War One, to which Obama pointed out they also had fewer bayonets and horses. Of course the ReThuglican pundits who afterward piped up afterward that the US military still had both horses and bayonets, missed the point completely, illustrating that they were merely as disingenuous or retarded as their not necessarily preferred but the candidate with whom their are stuck. Little buddy Lyin' Ryan, whose speaking skills seem limited to prevaricating with ease, didn't even understand what Obama was saying:

It’s not usually national news when some guy doesn’t get a joke. But apparently that doesn't apply if that person is Paul Ryan, who told CBS this morning that he didn’t get Obama’s horses and bayonets zinger. 

"To compare modern American battleships and Navy with bayonets, I just don't understand that comparison," Ryan said.

Then after his slow mind finally got the joke, Little Paul doubled down on dumbness and told CBS News:

 

“The ocean hasn’t shrunk,” Ryan declared in the CBS interview. 

No matter how much the Reich Wingnuts protest that Obama was mean or condescending or that overall Mitt won the debate, the surest sign they aren't that confident that in spite of all the blatant lies and pre-arranged Republican and Romney Family owned and operated voting machines (Forbes, Truthout), especially in Ohio, voter suppression and disappearing voter registrations (GOP Voter Registration Scandal Widens, Prosecutors File Criminal Charges) haven't guaranteed a win is watching KKKarl Rove seeming to actually lose it. Last night he was even crazier than when he pulled out the childlike sketches during the McCain-Tundra Trailer Trash Thrashing to somehow prove some secret math that only he understood - that math was apparently as bad as is Romney's and Ryan's. The sad excuse for a man better known as Bu$h's Brain or Turd Blossom fired off an editorial on Faux Snooze comparing Obama to Louis the XIV of France.

 ......he thought Obama came off as looking “a little pompous,” which then led him to conclude that Obama was like “Louis XIV masquerading as the President of the United States.”

Considering the level of American comprehension of European history, or even their own, I would think it not smart to bring up "pompous" French monarchs, since even I couldn`t help thinking of Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette, who famously lost their heads at the Bastille and their twenty-first century versions  Mitt and Ann Romney, who seem less charitable than even Marie and would like to deprive the 47% of even their cake so the ``non-takers¨ could use that cake money to create jobs, in China.
