"Maybe we'll see some smart thinking from Obama, but I doubt it unless something terrible happens during his administration. "

What, in your view, would constitute "smart thinking" at this point?

>> I think they already got their wish.

I really don't think so. People get tired of the same old horror story, no doubt. But as results continue to improve, as I believe they will, attitudes will change.

The biggest problem is that this administration has nobody to speak out and explain, as the benefits are extremely subtle at first.

The best example, I think, is the administration's abject failure to note, and make noteworthy, the killing off of Libya's nuke program. This was a huge accomplishment that was undoubtedly influenced by our going to war in Iraq, yet it is unnoticed and liberals will frequently try to attribute it to Clinton or just happenstance.

But there are many others.

People just don't give a damn anymore. 9/11 is but a distant memory, and people just want to move on.

People have finally caught on to the deception perpetrated by W and his administration...that's why they want out. They finally realize that iraq was a costly side bar blunder that has only served to inflame fundamental islam further at the expense of US security.
