Please convince me Obama will change this idiotic war stance....

[Logical]

After he wins reelection.

I can think of no other reason to spend money on this mess for years to come.

I really hope it's just to cover his ass against the "cut and run" idiots!

1. It sounds like a good hedge, I don't believe he things spending all this money on the MIC is good

2. why should anyone believe that he will change in the least...?

People want to believe in Obama so hard that they're willing to overlook his awful handling of the financial crisis, his failure to address looming environmental issues, his wars-- which are crimes against humanity-- his sell out of real health care reform, and so on.

I'm just finishing up Suskind's Confidence Men, which certainly doesn't help improve my opinion of Obama's leadership skills....

6. It was an agreement to make an agreement.

It is not cast in stone - and subject to congressional oversight.

I believe.

The only thing that is fixed is the timetable for withdrawal of regular forces.

3. His stance on.......????

Afghanistan? Aren't we leaving in 2014?

4. There's a wonderful reason to spend money on it.

It goes directly into the pockets of a tiny, but filthy rich faction of the population, and they give a lot of money to politicians.
