3. And the endless war(s) roll on, despite the 'change'

business as usual. It's been 10 years -- TEN YEARS -- since we launched the Global War to Eliminate the Concept of Terror from the Face of Planet Earth, and all we've done is make more terror.

What a pity. What a waste.

4. ... and how many Iraqis, Afghanis, and Pakistanis have been killed and wounded so far?

5. What war? You mean we still have troops in Iraq? Who would have thought....

Hey.. I diidn't see it mentioned by Matt Lauer or Meridith on NBC Today.. so the war must not exist. You are just "imagining" war.

6. The only chance we have to finish this fiasco is to elect a Democratic president and Congress.

Right?

7. So much pain, death, sorrow, and grief for no good reason whatsoever.

It's sickening.
