Declaring that 'a decade of war is now ending,' he insisted that he 'still believe(s) that enduring security and lasting peace do not require perpetual war.' The lines generated uncritical applause, much of it from anti-war liberals who protested against the Bush administration. Living up to Obama s calculation, few seemed to notice that the words came from the same president who is manufacturing a state of 'perpetual war'...
