Many fellow dirty hippies have passed off the recent related Obama statement as old news or obvious. But the leading emphasis on relying on general feedback rather than on the withdrawal itself is ominous. As your allusion describes, just because it's Obama making the argument rather than Bush won't necessarily make the outcome different. Sometimes you just have to read the argument on its face.ronindcThu, 10 Jul 2008 06:02:31 -0000
