Well unbelievable, an actual candidate for Secretary of Defense who believes wars should be the last option, not the first!

Really Obama helped extend it and who know what the special forces do after we full out of places since they do not report on their activities. Meanwhile McCain, the Bomb, Bomb, Irans Beach partyer get to pick at him. Meanwhile we see form the new book by Nick Turse "Kill Anything That Moves" what the Vietnakm Bush told the Vietnamese we should have stayed fighting was about. Lesson learned and displayed in Iraq, manage the news better and play up the shock and awe, ignore the lies that started it all and just keep on going like nothing happened. Pretend no innocnt victims even when there are reports that there are and ignore them too. Beware the cover story of anyone down on war... we are a warfare state of the poor for the welfare state of the rich... and as in South Vietnam, a new ruler installed must first convert to Catholicism.
