War is (Not) Over -- August 31, 2010

I want the war to be over, but it is not. We have declared an end to combat operations for our troops in Iraq, but 50,000 of them will still be there. Some of our soldiers will die, as will many Iraqis. The war in Afghanistan continues. Sadaam Hussein is rotting in his grave but worse people running loose in Iraq. President Obama's speech made sense -- we need to fix our economy and encourage the growth of the middle class.
