"War? What War?"


Rethug Presidential hopeful Willard "Mittens" Romney had an op-ed piece in the conservative New Hampshire paper, the Manchester Union-Leader, which stated:
"Barack Obama is facing a financial emergency on a grander scale. Yet his approach has been to engage in one of the biggest peacetime spending binges in American history."
Unbeknownst to Mittens, we are engaged in a war in Afghanistan, and are wrapping a costly one up in Iraq. We won't even mention Libya.

It's easy to forget the nation is at war when you -- and your five military-age sons -- have no skin in the game. As Mittens once said about his five sons' choices not to enlist in the military, “one of the ways my sons are showing support for our nation is helping to get me elected.” No wonder it's all quiet on the Mittens Front.
