As for Iraq
I wish the Obama I liked had won. You know, the one that was going to
end the war and bring the troops home as soon as he was elected.
He seemed to disappear sometime around February 2008.
This is an 18 year Iraq war right now and I wanted them to come home
when Powell said "mission accomplished" in 1991.
Two Bushes and a Clinton later we are still there with a couple more
"mission accomplished" claimed but not acted on.

I'm with you. Sooner the better but I do expect he's been briefed on
the various risks and taken the best available approach.

I recall him saying "as soon as I'm elected" but was modified to "I'll
start the process." I think other Dems were slagging him about being
too optimistic and inexperienced so he had to modify his rap.

I guess I am still old enough to remember "when they can stand up we
will stand down" and other "Vietnamization" platitudes.

I also understand we are now important trading partners with Hanoi.
Capitalism defeated communism once we got out of the way and let it.

If we really need to bomb these people we should drop lap tops and
modems on them. Let knowledge win the day

Amen.
