Who was wrong in this case? Spence? Spence??

It is unbelievable how often this guy is 100% wrong.
There will always be hawks pushing for a harder position.

As for the 100% remark. This is exactly the wrong way to view things. By that measure the Bush team was 100% wrong on just about everything as well. Actually by that measure they were more than 100% wrong. 1000%?

And to top it all of you have #^&#^&#^&#^& Cheney, perhaps the biggest advocate of the war and most wrong about everything out slamming Obama to make political hey just to get his daughter media attention because she couldn't get any support to run in Wyoming.

Perhaps the most douchebaggery thing I've ever seen come from a VP and he's had his moments.

The simple fact is the situation is serious and if people think this is just another opportunity to pile on Obama they're doing this country -- and everything we've given -- a great disservice.
