Barack Obama On War

    Yeah, he’s walking a tightrope. He has to convince people that his position on Iraq is not evidence of what his position on Iran would be. I don’t envy the guy. I may end up voting for him myself, though. Weird election this time around.

    PS-He’s even trying to SOUND like JFK now, isn’t he? That little snippet you put up has the same rhetorical flourishes.

    Obama was too kind: “it’s a war based not on principle but on profit…” for the right people. And an endless war at that, a device of social control of which Orwell so strikingly wrote.

    Even if elected, I’m afraid Obama will be assassinated–an expedient not unique to the U.S.
