Maybe If the Photos Were From Abu Ghraib


Well, no photos. The Transparent Presidency continues its opaqueness.
Cannot piss 'n moan about the operation, for sure, but it was the military doing what they were trained to do. Kill the combatants.
Still hard to digest though.
10 years. A lifetime. Thousands of lives, in fact.
I continue to marvel at the partisan zero-sum game being played out. "Osama gets bin Laden and Bush couldn't" bullshit. Obama and Bush both deserve credit. This is especially the case when you consider Obama has just continued so many of his predecessor's policies. He even ramped up a few of them. And he did make the smart and tough call. I give him a lot of credit for that. I hope it becomes a trend.
Tap once for "Yes." Tap twice to be sure.
