however, he said he was going to do this in a policy document released in May 2007. At least nobody can say they weren't warned, the difficulty is that that too many didn't want to know, they just wanted to believe.

The fact that it was an idiotic policy, was known to be an idiotic policy, even then is neither here nor there. Obama got his war on and he is Lyndon Johnston.

Eventually, someone is going to have to figure out how to be, or else a tattered broken (and broke) country full of people will have all these wonderful dreams during decades of rebuilding.

Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.

Obama is Johnson?  Before Viet Nam Johnson wasn't rich.  Somehow ... heh, heh, ... he leaves the Presidency a multi-millionaire and no one ... NO ONE ... ever does an extensive investigation on WHERE LBJ got his millions.  At least Obama isn't be a war profiteer.

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.
