Politicians lost their will. I agree. That would be Nixon,

Just like the Crusade we are on now,
That war was not going to be won.

Neither conflict is currently a crusade. That's from a
different
administration. It's unclear what the outcome is going to be
in either
place.
I bet your average Iraqi or Afghani can't tell the difference,
nor can
the GIs who are getting blown up by road side bombs or in
mountain
ambushes.
This is a war of necessity.

It is necessary that we *win* this war.

So saith the messiah.

What happens if he decides to leave? Will we have *lost*?

This is the messiah of change and he has demonstrated it is easy
to
change his mind on things. A couple CNN polls seems to do the
trick.
I think we are going to declare victory, cut and run ... at least
I
hope so.

What's wrong with changing your mind about something? If you can't
do that, you shouldn't be in charge.

There is no problem with his changing his mind. Unless it is
because a CNN poll says he should change his stance. We did not
hire him to be an arbitrator of popularity. He needs to learn the
"Buck Stops Here" part of the Presidency.
I agree. What makes you think he's being an arbiter of popularity?

He is being like Clinton. Following the polls. CNN, etc poll says
people prefer this, then O seems to follow along. Clinton should
have made the hard decisions instead of the popular decisions and he
would have gone in to the books as one of the great Presidents.
And, you know this because? Which polls do you think he's following?
Perhaps you're talking about the "public option" that 70ish % of the
population supports? Yup, he's following the polls!

Which hard decisions didn't Clinton make? Ummm... let's see.. Bosnia,
Somalia, gay in the military, a balanced budget, a surplus....

During his worst nightmare aka Monica he retained high public support.
I guess he was just following the polls.

He did not leave a surplus! The National debt did not go down. The
dot.com bubble just poured more money in to the coffers than they could
spend right away. Lots of that money was committed to future spending,
which is hurting us now. Same thing with California. So much extra
cash that the budget has doubled in the last 8 years before now, and
lots of that money was committed as if the gobs of extra money was a
permanent source. Bosnia was and is a disaster. Still an ongoing
disaster, and was a European problem. Did not concern us. Somalia.
He refused the heavy tanks, etc that were requested. Black Hawk down
was a disaster because of no heavy armor. Why didn't Clinton authorize
gays in the military, instead of pushing under the rug? Man up Clinton.
Make a ruling. Just like Truman ruled the military was desegregated.
Make the ruling. As to gays destroying the military. Seems to work ok
in the UK and some other European countries. Clinton was extremely
lucky on the financial front. It was already starting to crash, before
the election. And Gore accelerated the meltdown with his election
claims. Clinton should have fired Greenspan or at least had looked at
the overheated market. But Clintons choice of advisors was lacking a
lot of knowledge. Barrack is listening to some polls on the
healthcare. Those who think they should have free healthcare. Same
ones who thought he was going to pay their mortgage and put gas in the
tank. Too many problems just now to tackle healthcare. Man Up. Tell
the country we need health care, and we will take a year or two and get
it correct. Not a 1000 page bill no one is allowed to read, or have 15
minutes to look at it and vote. Direct the justice Department to
prosecute any body who was in charge of Naked Shorts and uncovered
short sales on Wall Street, and force them to return all profits and
10x punitive damages. Including Paulson's buddies. Fire the Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac officials, not give them a $2 mega buck signing bonus.
He is listening the polls (slanted polls) and doing leadership that
way. He is not stupid, he is also not an Einstein, but he is naive as
hell.

You might want to trim your rants or at least break them up into
intelligible paragraphs. Too much jumble for me to even try to respond
to without wasting lots of time. Believe what you want. It's a free
country (expecting another rant any second.....).

He presented you with a lot of food for thought and you complain that he
didn't make a neat little finger sandwich out of it.
If I were him I'd let you go hungry rather than trying to spoon feed you.

Not really. Mostly just rants about Clinton, intermixed with a bunch of
nonsense. Why don't you feed yourself... seems like you need some
intellectual nutrients.
