OTOH, the US is in a war.

Oh, don't be mistaken, Canada is at war, but they're still trying to mop up
the War on Poverty. I think Clinton started that one. When they succeed
there, then maybe they'll get back to the business of tackling the War on
Drugs. (Not sure if that one was Reagan's or Bush Sr.'s.) Priorities,
y'know? Curious how the United States adapted the "enemy of my enemy is my
friend" switheroo (a Flip-Flop? God forbid!!!) on that one, handing the job
of hunting down Osama to Afghan opium druglords who killed good young men
like Pat Tillman. It's hard to say when that war will conclude, as we've
since heard that America's champion allies are having their best bumper
opium harvest in decades. I guess that's what George W. Bush means by
"smoking 'em out" ... hitting the opium bong.

A war which the US did not start, but
will, in all likelyhood, finish.

Big laughs that. I know, I know, balsa-wood surveillance drones held
together with bungey-cords with a flight maxiimum of 150 kms are "the most
lethal weapons ever devised by mankind," and yes, those really were mushroom
clouds.

News flash - servicemen die in war.

1062 and counting, I believe, at least 900 post-"Mission Accomplished -- We
Have Prevailed!!" Huzzah!!
