And somewhere, at some point, depending on how bad it gets, John Galt will ponder whether or not it is time.

As much as I'd like to believe you...

Oooooohhhhh, you're making me drool........

Okay, seriously, I'd poke out my left nutsack with my cat's own claws if Hillary becomes Pres. Still not a fan, though if the choice became the lesser of two evils I guess my back would be against the wall.

Someone will get her in the primaries. Please? God Almighty please?

Umm, yeah, well Mr. Starter, I hate to break the news to you, but that kinda sorta had to deal with another country. Namely, ours. Slightly different aspect when you are fighting one another here versus being misled to fight an ill-conceived war over elsewhere, let alone leave the leader of a group that attacked us to fight that fucked up war over there.

And hey Shakka, I'm always hopeful on better things, but intelligence reports like the recent NIE as well as others that depict Iraq going to shit speak well enough on their own. Thinking happy thoughts over here with our shiny red slippers has not brought us any further to the end goal, uhh, whatever that supposed measurable marker may actually be (anyone know yet?).

Exactly my point.
A civil war was much worse...
