Today's Editorial

How many Democrats noticed the change in posture of our President pre and post inauguration?

Okay, okay, put your hands down. 

Next question, how many Democrats said under their breath, "The military got to him?" 

Right? Like, too obvious, right? 

Poor BaraK Hussein Obama was barraged with military fear of an impending and complete withdrawal like that crazy Michigander Gerry Ford. Right? So, Obama is then convinced the only 'globally' safe way to end the two wars is to follow Bush's plans. The DNC said, you know some of us voted for the lousy war and we could be hung out to dry and following Bush's plans makes a lot of sense. NOT ONE DEMOCRAT, except maybe for Bernie Sanders, said GET THE HELL OUT BECAUSE NATION BUILDING DOESN'T WORK!

See, Barak Obama was a pure unadulterated Democrat with his belief systems mired completely in tried and true values dating back decades. But, they taken from him. By politics. See, the military was convinced the best outcome to any "W"rongful invasion was to create a nation that was like the USA. We, as Democrats know, that Nation Building is nonsense. We know it, it's in our blood, it is in our religion and it is in our politics. Nation Building fails. 

But, see Bush decided early on Saddam was going to hang for the slurs to his father and the Brits decided the Ba'ath Party was the problem. So, Iraq, when it was still Iraq, was eliminated of it's Parliament and it's military as well as it's dictator. So, "W" said, "I am the genius of all genius and I can make this happen the right way." He instituted nation building and ordered the USA military to MAKE IT SO.

Heady stuff, ya know? A military that could conquer a disarmed dictator and create a democracy. The people of the USA were too traumatized by 911 and Cheney took advantage of all of it and made fear the cultural norm in the USA. 

If Iraq is this much of a mess, what do you think you think Afghanistan is going to look like? 

What did we always know?

National Building doesn't work.

Troops Out Now.
