From Robert Steinback:

If, back in 2001, anyone had told me that four years after bin Laden's attack our president would admit that he broke U.S. law against domestic spying and ignored the Constitution -- and then expect the American people to congratulate him for it -- I would have presumed the girders of our very Republic had crumbled.

Yeah, that's pretty much the way I feel about it. People are tossing their freedoms and rights away, and saying that it's OK, because we've got a war on, the Great War On Terror.

Funny. Congress still hasn't declared war on anybody. Despite Korea, Vietnam, Gulf I, Gulf II and Afghanistan. And now we've got this war that's not against any country, just against some evident psychos. Does this sound like a war that can be won? How do we know when we've won the war? Hell, have we even trully won the war in Gulf II Iraq? Afghanistan?

The Taliban in Afghanistan are threatening more than 200 suicide bombers against the American presence there I read today. With less than 4 months to go, I'm worrying about Garfield.

I disgress I guess.

Still, when will the talking heads, let alone the American people finally realize that talking about winning a war when there is no goal that indicates the war has been won really isn't talking about a war. It's just litterally a bunch of battles that may have short range objectives, but does nothing for the long range objectives, if there are any. I guess we could call the objective and goal of Gulf II was to get Saddam out of power, but then what?
