Color me cynical

I’m definitely behind a timetable for pulling our troops out of Iraq (I won’t even get into discussing why we should’ve never been there in the first place). But I can’t help but think that Bush’s impending reversal is a clever GOP (i.e., Karl Rove) strategy to take away a key point from the Obama campaign. Not that the only thing Obama has is being against the war in Iraq, but it was a major talking point, and now he’ll have to put more emphasis on other areas and ideas. And Rove is probably betting that it’ll take some wind out of his sails. And McCain can say, “See, we know what we’re doing in Iraq.” Rotten bastards.
Or maybe I’m just a little too jaded and cranky.

Conversely Obama could say, ‘I was right all along.’ It should be interesting come November. I am thinking if the American public elects McCain straight up in a fair election, we get what we deserve. If McCain wins through some voting fraud, then there may be trouble.
btw, I liked the other theme much better!
p.s. your captchas are damned hard for a fellow who has had a few Cap’t Morgans.

You don’t like the green theme? Hell, I can’t remember what I had before this one. It’s been a month or so since I changed themes, so maybe I’ll see if there are any new ones I like.
