Dear Diary,

Today I snuck in another “unprecedented” when I described the Boss’ Afghan policy. I think it might be unprecedented in how many times I’ve used that word!

Hamma Time!

Hope that Special Someone’s noticing…

Gibbs’ interview on Obama’s handling of Afghanistan (via Gibbs Goes Beyond Self-Parody, Calls President’s Decision on Afghanistan “Unprecedented”

Q: Mr. Gibbs, good morning. Why did it take so long to make this decision?

GIBBS: Well look, Harry, I think that what’s been done in this process is somewhat unprecedented on the issue of Afghanistan. I think everybody involved really worked hard with the President to make policy better than it would have been had we announced it after only a week. I think everybody involved made this policy stronger. And I think the American people can be proud of both the process and the decision that the President will announce tonight.

…

Q: Al Qaida really isn’t much of a presence in Afghanistan anymore anyhow, so why not chase them into Pakistan or into the Horn of Africa?

GIBBS: Well, look. I think this Administration has taken the fight to Al Qaida unlike any that we’ve ever seen.
