1. The military industrial complex will fight it all the way
I don't know how, but they'll think of something.

2. Not overnight
And not all at once. Getting out of a quagmire is a little more complicated than getting in. But this has been the story of Commander Bunnypants' political and professional life for anyone who could be bothered to pay attention: He leaves a huge mess for his successor while he traipses off to something better.

This time around, it's going to take the concerted efforts of 300 million people to undo some of the damage Bush has inflicted.

3. The current ones, I doubt it.
Do I think there will be more restraint going forward under an Obama administration? Yes.

4. Which War??
Other than Iraq and Afghanistan. There's the war on the left, a war on the middle and lower classes, a war on "big government" that turned the entire Federal government into one large patronage sewer? There's also a war on reason, habeus corpus, the environment, gays, muslims, blacks, hispanics and anyone who dares to cross them? Where do you start?

8. We Only Fight Verbs Now...
Ya know something...I can't think of the last war we've "won". Did we ever Whip Inflation Now??? I need me one of those Obama tire gauges to put next to my WIN button.

Cheers...
