Odrama at the death camp

Odrama visited one of the infamous death camps. How many sides of an issue can he come down on. Yesterday it was Muslims who thought he was all on their side. Today it is Jews he is courting. Is there a chance that someday he will take a real stand on something. I think he has studied double speak from Bill Clinton. He talks about confronting evil, and does nothing substantive about N Korea. N Korea and Iran are the ultimate evil regimes in this world.

I know everyone is looking to Afghanistan as his showplace but that is going to be a pie in the face for him. That is a country that will never change no matter how much the Democrats say it was the good war. Bush didn't go balls to the wall there because it can not be won. Now that Iraq is winding down, the nuts of the middle east will be in Afghanistan fighting with the Taliban. This ain't a movie like Charlie Wilson's war. It is real life and I don't know if the American people have the stomach for it any more than they had for Iraq.

In Vietnam there were 50,000 plus casualties compared to 4,000 in Iraq and the war in Iraq sealed John MeCain's fate. Wait till the bodies pile up in Afghanistan. You can't put much spin on the body count.
