...after all the fist-pumping and high-fiving and belly-bumping, after all the chickenhawks congratulate themselves on their "insight" in "staying the course", after all the Rushes and Coulters and Bennets and Bellings and their ilk wax poetic about the might and skill of the Murican Military, after the Chimp-in Chief mumblefucks his way through the interminable self-agrandizing speeches and pronouncements stumbling on every third syllable, after the Marlowes of the world dislocate their shoulders patting themselves on the back about how they "helped the effort"...after all this....

It's still a good thing.
