Obama's plan sure is reassuring, right?

Well now, it is good to know that our presumptive new commander in chief, Sen. Barack Obama, is prepared to send American troops into Pakistan to suppress terrorists.

Beyond all doubt, he will avoid all the missteps the Bush administration experienced in invading Iraq, despite the fact that Bush had the express approval of Congress at the time.

President Obama will issue a directive for the invasion of Pakistan that will unquestionably provide a faultless combat plan, minimize American casualties, anticipate all eventualities, end in unequivocal success, and guarantee a painless reconstruction and withdrawal scenario.

It is a great comfort to realize that we can look forward to a president who has such a magnificent grasp of realities.
