Truest statement of the week

Its very, very clear now that changing from Republican to Democrat rule has not changed the policy. In fact, if anything the policy has gotten far worse under Obama and the Democrats than under Bush in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region.

This is the Democrat policy. It was the Democrat policy when they controlled congress after 2006. Its the Democrat policy that Obama ran on, remember that he called this the "right war". Its the Democrat policy for 18 months now that they've held the post of Commander in Chief.

To change the policy, we need to change the rulers who make the policy. And its now very clear that voting Democrat did not do that.

Its time to try voting for and supporting anti-war candidates. True anti-war candidates and not the fake Democrats. And this is where an Obama delegate like Mr. Soloman just can't go. He can complain that replacing the General won't do the job. But he can't seem to admit to himself that its Obama and the Democrats that we really need to replace.

If we send a new Democrat congress back next year, the war will continue.
