No one could possibly look at Obama and say the man is qualified to be in the office.

Both the Iraq and Afghanistan "wars" were won in hours. We could have killed every single person in either country which used to be the objective of war. Where America messed up was trying to build civilizations in our own image. You can't civilize Afghanistan, Iraq or any other Muslim hell hole. Civilization, culture and values cannot be imposed.

Perhaps, I guess we'll never know. But whatever hypocrisy I might have is infinitesimal compared to that on the Left, so I don't feel too badly about it. All of the points you raised are matters of opinion. I supported the Iraq War and I don't feel the wars were mismanaged at all; I just think that wars sometimes turn out to be harder than you thought. That view has nothing to do with politics and a lot to do with having read a very large number of war histories. During no war in American History has a political party behaved the war the Democrats did, however -- fully supporting the war effort until the day the war started to look difficult, then run like hell from previously held positions. That was a first. It is a fact that I generally believe Democrats have been our worst presidents, at least in my lifetime. But even Clinton, who I thought was incompetent, couldn't have touched Obama for his incompetence. The bottom line is that you if you support Barack Obama it is simply incomprehensible you would accuse someone else of partisanship; no one could possibly look at Obama and say the man is qualified to be in the office. The man is grossly incompetent and any reasonable observer would conclude the same. Bush was highly competent by any measure and behaved in a manner consistent with the highest levels of integrity. That's important to me. Deep logical thinking indeed... Al
