Let's bring our warriors home

Oh, what would we do without the staggeringly confounded right? It's crazy that immediately after Obama came into office, that all responsibility in the war on terror was now his. But more than two years later, the killing of Osama bin Laden is primarily due to George W. Bush and his torture techniques.

But just as responsibility for the debt is now Obama's, and the near-depression was his, any errors were slapped on him left and right. So now that he's helped save the auto industry and it looks like a profit was made on the bank bailouts, I'd hate to assume that the right is going to credit Dick Cheney.

I would love to have Mitch Daniels be the main talking head for the GOP, let alone for the right. Thoughtful, compromising (dirty word these days in Republican circles), and mindful of how we need to make changes in our Republic. I don't mourn the death of Osama bin Laden but I do find it hard to celebrate. I'd rather celebrate the men and women who had to fight the two wars that were started with this man as the catalyst. Let's get all our warriors home and get our own house in order for a change.
