| 40. The war goes on and I heard long term commitment and "advisers" |

I heard "turn the page" and no accountability for this ballbusting debacle.
I heard standard bushshit war on terror garbage.
No grade, the war is still going and it sounds like we're never really leaving but rather subbing soldiers for mercenaries to handle the long haul.

For those who voted, "war isn't over yet..." he didn't SAY it's over, but that it's changing |
