come out and say that the war was a waste of lives and money. But the statement was open to interpretation and probably on purpose, so many people heard 'the war in Iraq has made us safer'.
I long for the day when a president can just speak the truth instead of having to gloss over major crimes committed by those in office.
That he, who opposed the war and for all the right reasons, one main reason why I supported him, has to be careful how he talks about it now, is a sad statement on where we are.
Thank you for your kind words, and no problem re sometimes not seeing things in the same way. I think in this case it's not so much a reflection on the president that he has to be careful when he speaks about our overseas adventures, but on our whole system.
You may be right in your interpretation and I would like to think that he was making a statement as subtly as he could. Still, none of the warmongers have chastised him for speaking against the war, so either he fooled them completely, or they heard what some of us heard.
And I look forward to your posts also, Bohunk
