Reflection on the Debates

After 3 90 minute debates, I believe it is important to reflect on a couple of questions that were never asked.

First, what's next? Let's assume for a moment that Iraq is no longer a problem. They have had elections, we are pulling out troops, and let's be even very optimistic and assume that France pulls their heads out of their asses on their anti-Americanism. Do we continue to fight a "war on terror?" Is the war on terror kind of like the "war on drugs?" What are the goals of a war on terrorism? Are we to eliminate all terror organizations or are we to just go after Al Qaeda?

Instead, we were treated to literally dozens of nitpicking attacks about partisan policy interpretations and to whom these policies will benefit.

As I told someone yesterday, the debates were essentially:

"My opponent clearly has gray hair."

"Once again, the President is misleading the American people. It is patently obvious that my hair is black, the same color as it was when I honorably served my country as a young man. Did I mention that I fought in Vietnam? Also, did you know that I am a Catholic?"

"There's alot of hard work that goes into fighting against the graying of the hair. Even my opponent's hair can't make up its mind. It is black? Is it gray. America needs a President with consistent hair colors."

Enough already!
