Before we leave the whole ND mess it is a point worth pondering.
It shows how much politics is theatre Obama basically on Iraq has pretty much taken a McCain (and horrors Bush policy on Iraq). In fact he is expanding our footprint in Afghanistan and has upped the Predator drone strikes in Pakistan. Can one imagine if we saw a President McCain at Notre Dame on Sunday. There would be all this wailing and gnashing of teeth over all this.
But the Messiah is largely baptizing Bush polices from war to so called torture (and have no doubt he is) so who cares.
The Catholic left( and the left in general) are sort of hypocritical on this are they not?
In the end one wonders if many of these pro-Obama folks that used this issue really care. Just give us National Health Care and we don't care what you do detainee x in secret prison y in undisclosed country z. Pretty amazing how WE MUST WITHDRAW NOW out of Iraq has gone out of public discussion \
