[Peace-discuss] Two Obama lies in one sentence

[C. G. Estabrook]

"...There is no peace movement in the United States despite wars that have 
lasted over a decade. And in the face of the growing doubts about carrying on 
the Afghanistan War much longer, in large part reflecting financial strains, 
Obama is able to say, without arousing any societal or media pushback: 'At this 
difficult hour all Americans are united in support of our men and women in 
uniform who serve so that we can live in freedom and security.' I think the time 
has come to say that American freedom and security would be far more benefitted 
by bringing the troops hope as rapidly as possible, closing hundreds of overseas 
bases, and dedicating a large portion of the resources released to restore 
confidence in America’s future within its own borders, which means jobs, 
education, and repairing infrastructure..."
