Meanwhile, back at the war. It was obvious that the person who replaced W. would have his (or her) hands full trying to clean up the ungodly mess that was being left behind. That, more than any other reason, was why I had reservations about Obama's election. My honest preference would have been President Ace McCain, held in check by a congress that was solid blue. Let McCain take a four-year stab at mopping up the joint. That idea went out the window when Sarah, the trailer park queen, plopped into the picture.
Anyway, the war in Afghanistan was one of the few ideas coming out of W's administration that looked halfway sensible on paper. Of course, like everything else, it got totally fucked up, not least of all because of the diversion of resources to Iraq.
Now Afghanistan is being thought about as Obama's war, and like every other paper sack full of dogshit left on his desk by the previous tenant, it's causing him some headaches. Regardless of what he does, a bunch of voters are gonna be pissed off. I'm gradually reaching the viewpoint that we need to start thinking about getting the hell out of that dump.
