Bush Won. Get Over It.

Don't tell us, tell them.

Freedom isn't free? I seem to remember some dudes saying we would walk in there, destroy Bin Laden, destroy Saddam, build power lines and sewers and be home by teatime. I seem to remember that's the only reason people agreed to it, oh that and Colin Powel's "Facts".

"Freedom isn't free. I takes folks like you and me. And if you don't chip in, we'll never pay that bill.
Freedom isn't free, yeah there's a hefty fuckin' fee. And if you don't throw in your buck o' five, who will?

OOOOooooohhhhh..... buck o' five.

Freedom costs a buck o' fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiivvvvvve..."

Wow, really? Netrunner's first sift? Man how time flies.


Yep, this is the video that lost me my scarlet letter P.

Time flies, but a lot's changed. One war brought to an end, one more to go.

Oh good! So, I guess our savior will be bringing all the troops home from Iraq? Surely there won't be a [dramatic cue] postwar occupation? But who cares as long as it's not called a war, right?

They'll bring thousands of troops home but at the same time deploy new ones in their place. Old strategy to show they're 'bringing the boys home' when in fact they're just recycling them through.

What savior?

As for postwar presence, technically we're already there. Operation Iraqi Freedom is over. The new operation (IIRC, called "New Dawn"), is supposed to end next year, and all troops are supposed to leave.

I'm definitely going to keep my eye on things to see if we have some sort of reversal, but unless one happens, I'm declaring victory and focusing on pressuring politicians to bring Afghanistan to an end.

HAH! A no truer statement tinctured successfully with the perefct balance of prophetic confidence and simply playing the odds on the board. A winner 8 of 10 times.

Now that Bush is out of office, I'm glad we no longer have to worry about this.

I'm just glad I was proven wrong and Obama has ended all the wars in the Middle East and chosen to also not rattle the saber of war at Syria, Libya, Yemen, Pakistan, et. al.

You forgot Iran, which he's been "keeping all options on the table" for.

However much I agree with the sentiment, the thing that annoys me about this kind of thing is how much it values American lives over Iraqis. Yes, there was a great cost to America for going to war, but there's no comparison to the cost paid by the home country.

I'd never wish invasion upon any nation, but can you imagine what life would be like if your home town was occupied by military force hostile to your government? I mean it. Think it through.

A war at home is very different to a war abroad.

He still has time to insure that his swan-styley lecture circuit will consists of stops primarily abroad or insulated within the U.N as well
Piece a mottled work
