I find it absolutely ridiculous that the President claimed to be ending the combat mission in Iraq. Bullshit. 50,000 armed troops that shoot people are combatants. No two ways about it. You can call them Buzzulwhips, but that does not mean they aren't combat troops. My point is that this is just more of the same old rhetoric from a crappy career politician who doesn't mind having blood all over his hands.
This month there have been at least 20 unmanned drone bombings in Pakistan (I say at least because there are no "real" numbers on these secret missions being carried out under executive order). This sucks! Bombs are falling from space and landing on innocent people! This is murder! Arghhh!
Massive turnover in the Obama administration, a National Security Advisor who fights for troop withdrawal...maybe a symptom of poor leadership, maybe an opportunity to redraw administration policies...is there any way we can support the positive changes in government to work towards a better world? Or should jaded moderates claim that this is just one more ploy to swing mid term elections and approval ratings? It's true that anything that happens, happens slowly.
