5. However much you don't like to hear it, Obama has made it HIS war.
Just like Johnson did with Vietnam.

We don't seem to learn.

When we meet the same end there that the Russians did, maybe it will finally hit home.

My guess is you now want to personally attack me. The same game the RW plays.

7. Nine months in office,...you make it personal with him,...and assert I am going to,...
,...make it personal with you.

Since you know how well the RW plays, please tutor me.

Here is what I KNOW: two wars began with a former administration, both wars have been handed to this administration, and this administration is taking pause to figure what best to do. I also know, Obama is NOT a war-monger like those who preceeded him.

How do I KNOW Obama is NOT a war-monger? He hasn't started another fucking war!!!

NOW,...if you find any of the foregoing, "personal", to you,...you may want to consider the possibility that, you are taking shit way too personally! 'kay?

3. I know, a complete "reframing"
Makes me sick, and Daily Kos has been pushing it hard. Bush is gone and forgotten, now it's all Obama's fault.

4. I think
you are overreacting a bit. don't judge a book by its cover.

6. I think it's more like, Obama is stuck with this thing,
so now it's Obama's war, he's got to take care of it.

At least I hope that's what it is.

10. Someone
has to take responsibility for it. it can't be Bush's problem anymore because he's no longer the CiC,
so it falls on Obama. PBS sure didn't spare Bush any criticism on his wars when he was in office.

8. it's not his fault, but it's his war now
just like Vietnam went from being JFK's to LBJ's to Nixon's.

12. Oh and uh,
remember, none of the alleged 19 hijackers was even from Afghanistan.
OBL was born in S. Arabia along with 15 of the others, so uh,
I kinda have to wonder what we're doing there? anybody?
