2nd Fake "End" of a War Which Mercenaries will continue

[Michael Tee]

The Bush-era bullshit continues unabated.  Obama announces an end to a war which is going to continue with 50,000  U.S. troops (re-labeled as non-combat forces) and an augmented number of mercenaries.

This is hilarious, especially in the context of an election in which "change" was supposedly presented as an option to the electorate.  What a farce.

So, I guess we can now officially call it the Obama-era BS

It seems that endless war is built into our DNA, and no matter whom we elect, it will continue. Of course, with MccCain, we might also have been given a new long war, in Iran. CU4 is a-chompin' at the bit to see Iran turned into a large glass ashtray. 

The two-party system is no longer effective as an expression of the will of the American people, considering what the two parties have become.

I still deem Obama to be greatly superior to McCain.

No presidential candidate understands the many limitations on the power of the president until he is elected .

Boy, it sure can get dizzying, watching the left defend Obama for stuff they were excoriating Bush for

Speaking about stuff they were excoriating Bush for, that of unemployment and deficits:

CBO sees Deficit becoming 9.1% of the GDP

while

Jobless claims jump to half a million

Obama-era in full function, for all to see.  Way to go, O
