But I agree that we should be fully prepared for a major domestic assault. It is possible that we will not face a series of battles but an all-out war over policy and over the Constitution. Your “revolutionary conquest” phrase is apt.

while you carry out your revolutionary conquest on the domestice front. It’s going to be a very exciting First 100 Days on the domestic front.

from his Memoirs of the Second World War, in which he shows appreciation to Franco for leading Hitler to think that he will send Spanish troops when, in fact, his goal was to keep Spain out of the conflict.

Churchill concludes the passage with something like, “And I shall have further occasion to praise the duplicity of Franco.”

This is exactly what I desperately hoped for within the context of an Obama victory: an administration which declares to its base that it is firmly anti-war but quietly follows a more prudent course of action.

Let’s be grateful for it, and not too loudly, lest too many anti-war types refuse to support the Obama-Biden policy because it makes supporters of victory happy.

Biden said the incoming president, though still committed to withdrawal, now “wants the withdrawal to be a responsible one,” and that he “does not want to waste the security gains that have been achieved,” according to Iraqi spokesperson Ali al-Dabbagh.

According to Biden, that means Obama wasn’t making responsible choices in the first place. Thus, Obama can’t possibly be considered as a president making good, common sense, and responsible choices. Wow…Americans just entrusted the office of presidency to a person who’s now second-guessing every choice he made in his lifetime.

I guess now decisiveness is considered a real political sin. No more decisive action from on now for Obama.
