Uninspiring

Against my own better judgment, I watched POTUS’s speech on Iraq tonight.

I did not come away inspired.

“”Ending this war is not only in Iraq’s interest, it is in our own,” Obama said… NO! THE WAR IS NOT OVER. The combat phase of this campaign might have been declared over, but The War goes on– it predates 9/11, Afghanistan and Iraq. What is our plan to wage it and win it?

“”The United States has paid a huge price to put the future of Iraq in the hands of its people.”" That is true, but nowhere that I could tell did he talk about v-i-c-t-o-r-y, the ultimate triumph of civilization and liberty over submission and tyranny, however long it might take, however hard it might be. I don’t think he believes in it.

How nice for us, so good to hear. So very reassuring.

Tell me what you think.
