From a foreign policy standpoint, he is apparently dazed when it comes to any strategy in Afghanistan Dazed? Hardly. People as smart and as informed as Obama rarely get dazed. What he's doing is getting you all ready for a pull out.

Arkansas Supreme Court upholds conviction of man in robbery siftingsherald.com Arkadelphia, Ark. - The Arkansas Supreme Court recently affirmed a Clark County jury’s decision convicting a Memphis man of a 2007 armed robbery at Hibbett Sports in Arkadelphia. Twenty-seven-year-old Shannon David Ray robbed the sporting goods store on March 23, 2007, walking in the store and pretending to shop for clothing. After picking out several items, he told the store employees that he need to get his debit card from his car. He returned with a sawed-off shotgun and ordered store employees and customers to the floor while he robbed the store of merchandise. He was arrested shortly after the robbery on Interstate 30, and tried by a jury on Aug. 27, 2008. He was convicted and sentenced to two life sentences plus 108 years in prison for two counts of aggravated robbery, four counts of aggravated assault, attempted murder, possession of a firearm by certain persons and discharge of a firearm from a car and his sentence of life in prison as a habitual offender. He appealed the case in September 2008, challenging the court’s sufficiency of the evidence with regard to the robbery charges and a specific challenge that the state had failed to identify the victims with respect to the aggravated assault charges. On appeal, however, he claimed that a person cannot be a victim of both aggravated robbery and aggravated assault, “based on the same conduct of the defendant.” This argument was not presented to the circuit judge in support of the motion for the verdict. Associate Justice Robert L. Brown handed down the decision on Thursday.
