Now imagine Obama trying to bring the conflict in Afghanistan and the "War on Terror" to a successful conclusion...

Nobody can bring a war on an abstract noun to a successful conclusion. And I'm not being pedantic. One of the design flaws -- or genius design features -- of the fatuously named "war on terror" is that TERROR DOESN'T END. So we either have to admit defeat, or continue to fight the war on terror indefinitely. Which is just what the Repuglicans want -- channels money to the military-industrial complex, and keeps it from being spent for ridiculous things like schools or health care or infrastructure.

O..O
