It was nothing more than an international slap in the face to George W. Bush. I’m not saying that it wasn’t a
deserved slap, but Obama has to know this. I feel that he should have declined the award based on that knowledge alone. Unless, of course, his ego is telling him that he actualy deserves this award on some unknown level.

I supported the war in Afghanistan then, and I support it now. Bush…Obama…it doesn’t really matter. Afghanistan is where we belonged, not Iraq. As messed up as Iraq was, it wasn’t our business. Afghanistan, on the other hand, was.

Why? I mean why is it so easy to believe that you were lied to by one and not the other? At least with Bush you knew what you were getting. Obama, I feel, is just as much a front man as George Bush ever was. He’s just a hell of a lot better at it. Bush was a joke on an epic scale. But Obama scares me.
