Stoke those flames from the left for 2012 so they stay home on election day. (I may not want to be recorded on camera doing this though without a disguise) .
Bosnia -- Bill Clinton's war -- humane, low civilian casualties.
Libya -- Obama's war -- humane, low civilian casualties.
No mention of Iraq or Afghanistan. I guess that's because we were indiscriminately slaughtering civilians there under a Republican president. The anti-war protesters told me so.[/s]
