Simple
What does history tell you, and what have you seen? Notice how Dick appeared on the scene right after the JFK fiasco? That was about a war too.
As strange as that single bullet was....2 huge jets...through our airspace...with that accuracy....and no interference?
Please ask your self something my Dad passed on to me.
Who benefited?
Don't read about people in order to form an opinion of them. Read what they have written.

If you think that you have time to pour pee out of a boot once you have had to do it...you're dead.

(There is voting in Germany, just so's you know. And a lot more than two parties running at any given time.)
What I find funny (as in it makes me want to scream) is that the Obama policies are so very close to the Bush policies that the factional fighting means something close to nothing at this point. Cheney did a good job of making Obama *look* leftish, though, really, when you look at it there has been precious little in the way of change. Guantanamo might eventually close, but people will still be held without trial, and heresay is to be allowed under the proposed trial system. The thing is - many people who have been held in Guantanamo and other prisons during this war have not been charged, many have been denied access to lawyers, and very basic international standards were ignored - and continue to be ignored.
I will not even go into the expanding of the war onto a third front (Pakistan), and the repositioning of troops to further rain destruction on Afghanistan meanwhile, the Big Bad Taleban is now an entity with whom we are in negotiations (which started under the last administration). All this from a president who won on massive anti-war sentiment.
Never mind his lobbying very hard for the TARP bank bailout - under which CEO's have no caps put on their bonuses, and the subsequent attack on auto worker's contracts as a condition for bailouts there. (Remember how when the CEO's bonuses were criticized, Obama was quick to invoke the sanctity of contracts? Hmm, that went right out the window when it came to Detroit...)
Obama is a horrible president on many levels. Sure, he's eloquent, but so am I, so are a lot of people. Pretty words and poor policy do not good leadership make.
