All the early indications point to Obama moving to the center when it comes to the war on terror. Contrary to his campaign promises concerning Iraq, it doesn't look like he will be withdrawing troops there. If he does take troops out, it will only be to move them to Afghanistan. His choice of the more hawkish Hillary Clinton as he Secretary of State underscores this.
He'll be treating the Iraq war as if it were Bush's third term!
Well, if that happens--will we still see anti-war protests? Will they call Obama Hitler for CONTINUING such a unilateral and unjust war? Will we get the ominous news coverage of the next body count milestone, or that this (whatever current month) is the bloodiest month since (arbitrary month or year)? Will we hear militant bloggers decry the BILLIONS of dollars we're spending ont this illegal war?
I won't hold my breath. Wars are only EVIL if a republican is in the white house.
