So much win. Almost as much as "Peace Surge."

Obama:

Afghanistan is not Vietnam. Here's why -- we've got some allies. Unlike Vietnam, we're not facing a popular insurgency. Also, Vietnam didn't attack us on September 11th, so there's that too.

Those people who don't want to leave Afghanistan but don't want to send more troops are dumb, because we'll just end in a quagmire, kind of like Vietnam.

Those people who don't like timelines but want us to escalate the war even beyond what I'm going to do, we don't have the money and it will take too long. We don't really have an interest in fighting an endless war, just a decade long one.

Obama:

Lots of Americans are worried about their jobs and becoming hobos due to the economy. Also your kids have a 75% chance of becoming hobos if we don't out compete the Chinese and Indians. And these wars are ****ing expensive. I tried to buy a diamond-studed monocle and was told that these wars cost trillions of dollars so I can't. So yeah holy crap this war stuff is expensive, and I can't hand out all the tax dollars to ACORN with an open ended commitment in Afghanistan.

Obama:

A central pillar of my foreign policy is to keep the nuclear weapons out of the hands of extremists. True security will come when only a dozen or so nations have them and point them at each other in a constant state of launch readiness. So long as the terrorists don't have them, we're good.

These challenges will have to be met by adhering to our values, like not torturing and imprisoning people forever. Someday I might just yet get around to closing America's Guantanamo gulag to prove just that.
