We've all heard about the immense courage summoned by Barack Obama, right? When he was the only one to bravely stand up to George Bush's mad rush to war in Iraq, which took many, long, agonizing months? Every time I hear that tripe, I used to think my rememberer must be off, because I'd never heard of Obama before the Iraq War. Well, I just looked it up, and, sure enough, he got to Washington in 2005. But he likes to brag about his opposition to the Iraq war back before we invaded (but the way we rushed in there, how did he even know it was something to oppose?) Anyway, I just want to ask, how much courage does it take to oppose something, when no one is even listening to you?
Now, if he had faced the firing squad, or the torture chamber, like all those other people that said the war would be a bad idea, now THAT would have been courageous.
