Remember when Barack Obama was all, "And I will stop having all these wars everywhere"? No? Lately, people have been telling us that henever said anything of the sort, which is kind of funny, haha, because we allbelievedthat was his intention, right? We don't have five whole minutes to go read Wikipedia about it, but now that Obama has been president for almost
At best, it was the wingnuts (and the breathless media who attached to it lamprey-like) who kept raising the notion that Obama was going to "cut and run" in any of the wars. This was also squalked endlessly at Kerry as a candidate.
This is probably the part that gets you most angry.
The rightnuts invented their own non-factual screeching point, and it simply is a reupholstered version of this falsehood yet AGAIN being used to clobber Obama, but this time by people who (you'd assume) knew better.
I have no snark. My 21 year old daughter has a fiance who wants to serve this nation and leaves on Monday for basic training at Ft. Bragg. She's in love and he's smitten with her wit (that was me) and her beauty (she got that from Mom). He's a good man and she's a strong, compassionate woman.
Please lord, protect these kids from harm and bring our soldiers home. Second, and more important, find me some legislators who want to downsize the military-industrial complex by 30 percent and stop this unilateral war bullshit on multiple lands. Its expensive. Besides, I think the terrorists figured out they fucking with us on home turf is a zero sum gain. And then find me some legislators who will revise the IRS Tax Code so GE, Conoco/Phillips, Exxon/Mobil and Halliburton and those Koch Rings pay their fair share. Yep, I am a greedy fuck.
Times like these I'm reminded that Republicans are the party of warmongers and corporate sell-outs, while the Democrats are also corporate sell-outs, but who occasionally what to halt the growth of the defense budget and keep a little bit of a safety-net.
Kind of like a "minor" injury is when someone else gets hurt.
A "bad" war was usually started by or being run by someone else. A "good" war is one you have to deal with yourself.
Although, the older I get, the less I can believe that any war is good. Some are just better than others.

well if you are referencing daley plaza, i WAS actually at that speech (in 2002).
and what barry said (that i remember) was that was iraq was a stupid war. and pre-emptive wars should be thought through before conducted.
which - i think - is what he said tonight.
