Bush should have just declared victory and gone home. Now, over five years later, John McQuack is babbling on about "victory" and declared a couple of days ago, that he "would win a war by winning it..." (whatever that means, if anything). When McCain poses his rhetorical question about Senator Obama‘s readiness to lead by saying, “Is he ready to lead?”, the answer is obviously “Yes.” Senator Obama has already been leading for several months. Both McCain and Bush are following Obama’s foreign policy recommendations on Afghanistan and Iraq. So if McCain and Bush are already following the leader, then, obviously, Obama is the leader. Q.E.D.

That is what we should be doing. Bush has had a policy of retreat for the last 7 years when it comes to Al-Qaeda. With Obama as president we can finally get some payback on AQ and the Taliban, instead of closing bases all over the MIddle East and running from them like we've been doing. Themis Says:
