Obama '3 More Years in Afghanistan'

BARACCHIO

He also said the United States would “build a partnership with the Afghan people that endures.” Beware a euphemism for permanent military bases. The president’s rhetoric, overall, was hideous. “The tide of war is receding,” he said, and he repeated the “tide” metaphor a little later on. But war is not a fact of nature, like an ocean. It is a rash act of rulers. Obama all but claimed to be clairvoyant, saying, “The light of a secure peace can be seen in the distance.” I’m not sure what telescope he’s using, but I wouldn’t rely on that, either in Iraq or in Afghanistan.
