Maurice, I don't believe you're a taxpayer in this country, so spare me the taxpayer lingo and uppity lectures.

Obama has beaten the drum against Pakistan in both debates.

The simple answer is that he wants it both ways. He wants to appear decisive and aggressive at the same time as he panders to his anti-Iraq war base. The only legislation he's proposed since election to the Senate was a bill to force a March 2008 withdrawal of Iraq troops. I stand by my characterization of his haste to get out of Iraq. Like a child in potty training. Again, he did that to pander to his base.

He also does the anti-Iraq war schtick as part of his attempt to make McCain Bush III. That attempt has not been successful.

The decision to go to war in Iraq is old news. The issue now is how to manage the current situation into the future. Biden voted for the war although he pretends he didn't. Obama wasn't in office to vote one way or the other. He probably would have voted 'present.' He claims to have been against the war out there in his safe haven among the leftist Chicago elites. Hardly a brave stance.
