It seems that every few weeks we hear that another high ranking terrorist has been killed, either in Iraq or in Pakistan. It shows that our troops are actively engaged in hunting down these people. Some people believe that Osama bin Laden is already dead, but if he isn't, it is just a matter of time before he is found and killed. My guess is that the timing of this will be at some point during Obama's presidency . . and he will get all the credit.
Our economy stinks right now. Even though our economy always goes through cycles of good and bad, everyone believes what we are going through now is unusually bad. It appears to be even worse overseas, which is little comfort; but when it comes to blame it is hard for me to pin it on any one thing or any one person, including President Bush. Our economy though will bounce back . . it always does. My guess is that the timing will be at some point during Obama's presidency . . and he will get all the credit.
Things are going fairly well in Iraq right now, certainly better than they were just a year or so ago. Everyone wants our troops to come home from Iraq . . the real question is whether to bring them home without any conditions, or to bring them home as we become more confident that Iraq can stand on its own. The timing seems to indicate that that can happen sometime over the next few years, in other words, at some point during Obama's presidency . . and he will get all the credit.
Just wait and see.
