I would just like to say on behalf of the Iraqi children with cancers  
and birth defects,
and the Afghans with missing limbs and the weeping mothers and  
fathers and sisters and brothers in these countries. I see NOTHING  
BUT SUFFERING AND VIOLENCE as the testament of the  soldiers Obama  
talks about. To treat the bloodbath in Iraq as some kind of noble  
accomplishment in order to sell a new war that is equally misdirected  
and  devastating is as cynical and dishonest,  manipulative and  
fearmongering as anything Bush did.  Obama should join hands with  
uncle Dick Cheney and gather all the redblooded freedom fighters of  
the world and pool their own god damn money and go fight these wars  
themselves and leave the taxpayers out of it. I'm  talkin all  
volunteer army. Go buy your own 400 dollar a gallon gas.

Nevertheless  I must admit that apart from this one teency little  
problem of bombing innocent people in other countries, and pimping  
taxpayers at bargain rates to every banker and Insurance company with  
a big check, Obama is A REALLY NICE GUY.

To me saying this president is better than George Bush is like  
recommending a writer because she or he is better than Bill OReilly.  
Like saying LBJ's bombs were more noble and democratic than Nixon's.
