And messy.
You'd think Dick Cheney and George Bush would know that at least.
Wait, what? Obama is a neo-conservative? Harry Reid too? Damn, they're good. And here I thought they were liberal weenies.

Exactly.
The war hasn't ended. It has just changed a little bit.
We're still going to have thousands of Americans with guns driving armored vehicles, dumping billions per year there, and with multiples bases errr consulates operating in the country.
Pulling out? Not even close...

They have been doing quite a few interviews on NPR with Iraqi people over the last week. Interesting thread is that they seem to be glad the Americans are gone, but also glad Saddam is gone, nearly in equal measure. Most of them feel it will be a positive thing for their country long-term, while right now they acknolwedge that the whole thing was incredibly painful and there is a large amount of uncertainty and angst in the country. But most seem more optimistic than pessimistic.
Of course, these are just the folks NPR is interviewing (and the interviews I heard, I only have a couple hours each day around lunch time and after work to listen in). I haven't seen anything along the lines of a national poll yet, which would be interesting to see.

If I pulled out of girls like Obama pulls out of wars there would be a lot of little babies running around.
If you spent as much time with those kids as the Republicans do trying to find wars the prisions would be less crowded.
Here's the real question. If they want us to think the war is over, is the war really over?
