Prometheus 6

All respect and no restraint

So who wants continuity?

Continuity We Can Believe In
By DAVID BROOKS

The 2008 election results did not fundamentally change American foreign policy. The real change began a few years ago in Afghanistan and Iraq.

It began with colonels and captains fighting terror on the ground.

No, Brooks. It began when Bush invaded Iraq. If he hadn't done that, those colonels and captains wouldn't even have been there.

Furthermore, Brooks, you seem to have mistaken the central message of the Obama campaign. It was not "we can believe in"...especially given all the Bushisms YOU have said you believe in. Nope. The central message was "change."
