I had my mini-rant the other day; today, I'm cooling it. You're right, you've been behind the Prez and as I look back I realize that you might just be one of those Anti-War buffs. LOL - no pun intended. I understand, I think, where the A/W's are coming from and I mean no disrespect to them and their cause. I just feel differently.
I don't look at campaign rhetoric as some kind of absolute promise or a predictor. I think most tend to mean what they say, but there are just too got damn many variables for one answer, or for one promise, etc., to be a "Fit-All". Even them big-ass "Fit-All" drawers/pants that Oprah's character in the Color Purple made, looked like shit and still didn't fit every sized ass, at least not well. LOL.
My point, in the law, as it is in life in general, almost every general rule has an exception; change one small element of the facts and the general rule has to bend, change, be remolded -- to fit that nuance. So, insofar as the President having said he would follow a particular path, for the sake of argument, I'll take him at his word an say, I intend to hold you to it. I know that in reality, however, that given a particular set of facts, the result may be different, and it should. Nuance.
