Hi AM,
> "We're in it to win" - how will we know if we did??
There will be an announcement with much fanfare and such, the deck of an aircraft carrier seems like a perfect place for such an occasion. No no no, that's not it... I've got it, we will know when the White House issues, from the side of it's mouth, a carefully worded statement denying any such victory.
In my opinion no matter what happens in the future we've already lost. There was never a chance it would be otherwise, even if we'd had something resembling competent leadership and planning. Not to mention here at home. Patriot Act my posterior, sadly I believe that was just an opportunistic foot in the door, they will keep coming. Stalin had nothing on some of these guys.
US Constitution, rule of law, honesty, conscience? Bah, reefer-head terrorist hippy talk, laws that cannot be used in their favor do not apply to some elected officials. Just ask them, they're thoughtless enough or maybe plain arrogant enough to tell you straight out.
