There was no avoiding this fork in the road.. We were left with 2 hot wars
to try and settle.

No matter who would have gotten into office, including Kuch, Clinton, Biden.. this moment in time would have come.

1. Blame no one, blame all of them

2. Give it break, "Wartrain".
We get that you enthusiastically support the escalation.

So, when are you signing up?

9. No, not quite. Some of us are watching the figurative slow "train wreck" that are your threads.

7. None of you will answer a simple question honestly or directly.
It is always "Obama said"... not, is it good policy or is it not?

11. +1
but PeaceTrain is not supporting the escalation as much as she is just supporting ANYTHING Pres Obama does.

Her name is hilarious.

12. Doubt this would come with Biden
He's been advocating splitting Iraq into 3 countries for the past 4 years and doesn't seem to be that sure of going into Afghanistan.

14. Now what happens is Obama's responsiblity.
He could choose to end these wars or escalate them. He is the decider now.

And we can decide regarding his decision.

15. Everyone needs to turn CSPAN2 on right now....
..... and listen to John McCain speak.

He's speaking about health care .... but just listening him talk about this completely unrelated matter reassures me that my vote was for the correct man.

Scary, scary.

18. Why the excuse threads? Biden wasn't into the escalation - Obama didn't listen to him...
And it's pretty hard to believe that Kuchinich would escalate an unnecessary war.
