Bush killed at least 100,000 people. He also allowed 3000+ U.S.

Let's hope Obama doesn't break that record but the worst days of the
"good war" are on Obama's watch. I still am not sure why we are there.

I don't have a good feeling about increasing troop strength at this point.
As Obama said (paraphrasing), the generals are thinking about the war, the
president needs to think about the world.


The interesting thing to me was said on Anderson Cooper the other
night from Afghanistan. It turns out we don't even think Bin Laden is
there anymore and that the Taliban has absolutely no global
aspirations. Their connection to Al Queda is tenuous at best.

But you have to admit that a dozen crazies can do a lot of
