Wow, yet another thread in which you post nothing but a video with no commentary or insight. (as if you had any)
It must be pretty painful for Basso to realize that overwhelmingly the world thinks the Iraq War was not worth it. It must be hard for him to accept that Obama who made his opposition to the Iraq War beat McCain who tried so hard to make the Iraq War and the surge a reason to vote for him. The distaste for the Iraq War debacle will make it hard for neo-cons to start new wars. Like the legacy of the Vietnam War it will be around for a long time.
For you, it certainly seems that way. I'm pretty sure both mcmark and glynch are thrilled that Obama won.
What the hell does that mean? Take your medication, stat! (j/k about the medication, but you need to do something. you're turning into Bizarro Basso) On topic, why did the video show that street during the night? I thought that a bit odd. Certainly, progress is a good thing. So good that the Iraqi government sent a bill to their parliment providing for close to exactly what Mr. Obama wants... for our forces to leave. Funny how that's playing out, isn't it?
When it was over, more than 120 million pulled a lever or mailed a ballot, and the system could barely accommodate the demands of Extreme Democracy. Obama won more votes than anyone else in U.S. history, the biggest Democratic victory since Lyndon Johnson crushed another Arizona Senator 44 years ago. Obama won men, which no Democrat had managed since Bill Clinton. He won 54% of Catholics, 66% of Latinos, 68% of new voters — a multicultural, multigenerational movement that shatters the old political ice pack. He let loose a deep blue wave that washed well past the coasts and the college towns, into the South through Virginia and Florida, the Mountain West with Colorado and New Mexico, into the Ohio Valley and the Midwestern battlegrounds: you could almost walk from Maine to Minnesota without getting your feet wet in a red state. After months of mapmaking all the roads to 270, Obama tore right past with ease. http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1856914,00.html La lA la lallallal LALallALAlal La la ala ala!

Neoconservatives don't dream of world domination. It's a shame that you have to turn Obama's victory into nonsensical catchisms.
As I said in another thread I'm glad that things are working out better in Iraq but this was all started from a big mistake. Was it worth all those dead American troops and Iraqis to now gloat that after years of war things are looking up now?
As opposed to using military success after years of incompetance over a mistake compounded by arrogance to mock a political campaign. A political campaign that has already won?
Iraq is supposed to be going badly, so that it can go on as long as possible in order to squeeze the most tax dollars out of us and make neo-con companies like Halliburton enormously wealthy. If there's enough protest from US Troops against Iraq they'll just hire mercenaries, which they've already done discretely for the past 4-5 years. There was really no reason for us to be in Vietnam either and no public support for it, yet that war lasted what seemed like forever, coincidentally. Your government is not on your side, people.
Assume that's directed at basso, who has mocked Obama's campaign and victory with scores of awful-from-any-perspective threads and thread titles for about a year now. I am now confident he is paid to do this kind of crap, but I just hope they aren't paying him much.
