I can't imagine why they'd complain, the military-industrial complex has got their way so far and I can't imagine their boy is planning to do anything that would upset his bosses. The farcical "closing" of one illegal torture camp does not constitute "change".

That's what I was saying at the time. Remember? People were so drunk on the propaganda, they insisted to me that Obama had promised full withdrawals from Iraq and Afghanistan. Obama won the election because supposed anti-war voters fail at basic reading comprehension.
