So we’re going to war, again! Why, it seems like only yesterday that Barack Obama was promising to end “a” war. Well, yes, he did, and it does seem like he’s ending the war in Iraq, pretty much (to my surprise), but that doesn’t mean he isn’t ready to start another one.
The President’s actions are so bizarre that it’s possible that this war won’t succeed. Republicans, of course, will only be too happy to help the President fall on his face, and there can’t be too many Democrats anxious to defend him. It’s difficult for me to wish Obama too much ill, because the Republicans are so bad, but for the last year and a half, Barack has been making Jimmy Carter look like a smooth operator. It was supposed to be better than this.
