Kinsella has been kind enough to list the flubs and blunders of the Liberal campaign (with links) so far.
It's a great resource to keep on hand.

Justin Trudeau’s campaign? It’s not in the proverbial morgue, yet. But it’s definitely lingering near the Intensive Care Unit. The Last Rites no longer seem impossible.
How can you tell if a political party’s election campaign is dying?
The worst maybe yet to come:Quote:

Definitely a target rich environment…..I’m surprised one of the panes hasn’t been taken out by a “deserted” missile…..Quote:

It would seem that the current gathering ground for the Taliban and ISIS is Kabul. I have to wonder if Biden has his heart set on such an idea. Why he doesn’t just drop airforce divisions to surround Kabul and move in with a military assault and clean the nest of snakes out before they have an opportunity to slither away into hiding.

Far too many countries have tried and failed to civilize these people. It can't be done. Their religious beliefs and laws are beyond the understanding of Western culture. Trying to resolve their internal conflicts with force is futile.
Problem is, how do you tell the difference !Quote:

Yea, that's the problem is with suicide bombers (like yesterday)...women (or men dressed like women) wearing Burkas...In a crowded place like the Airport yesterday all but impossible to 'shoot' an enemy combatant when they are indistinguishable.Quote:

Really? Isis has already claimed bombings at and around Kabul airport.Quote:
