As Obama Escalates War in Afghanistan, US Peace Activists Call for Near-Term Withdrawal of Foreign Troops


AMY GOODMAN: Finally, Norman Solomon, you were an Obama delegate. Are you disappointed now?

NORMAN SOLOMON: Well, you know, I haven’t met a progressive yet who would just as soon have John McCain as president. That said, we always choose from the choices that we’re facing at a particular time.

And while, as I said a year ago, the best way not to become disillusioned is to not have illusions in the first place, my somewhat low expectations from President Obama have not been met.

This guy has rushed into the arms of what Eisenhower called the military-industrial complex.
