Oh?

W's effects on the nation are over?

Please tell me when the phony Iraq war ended.

Our mission there was over when Saddam was executed.

Huh? The mission was to kill Saddam? The same Saddam that had -no- WMDS?
(as admitted to by Bush/Cheney)

The same Saddam that had -nothing- to do with 9/11? (as admitted to by
Bush/Cheney)

THAT Saddam?

We the taxpayers sure got screwed if killing Saddam was the mission --
4000 American kids dead, a lot more horribly maimed, approaching a
*trillion* dollars in actual costs and eight years to get rid of one
guy? If getting rid of Saddam was, as you say, the mission, we would
have been waaay better off sub-contracting the Saddam job to the Mafia. :-)

Why is 0bama dragging this out?

Huh???

BUSH dragged it out for *EIGHT* years and O has been in office only
*ONE* year -- and yet you ask why -Obama- is dragging it out? Sorry,
Sparky, do the math.

Finally, IMHO, it is "dragging out" because there is NO EXIT STRATEGY --
exactly as stated by Bush I in his own book. W painted us into a corner
that Obama ...or McCain... or anybody...would have a difficult time
getting us out. We are damned if we stay (more American lives, money)
and damned if we leave (major Middle East instability). No exit strategy
for anyone of any political party. Thank you, W.

Please tell me when the phony Afghanistan war ended.

That would be an 0bama question, also.

Please tell me when the economic recession/Depression ended.

Bernanke said it ended in June. You do believe the chairman of the
fed, don't you?

In a word, no.

ALL of the above happened on W's watch and nobody thinks they're
over...except you.
