One of the commenters there notes, “I hope he’s also equally disinterested in victory in 2010 and 2012.”

Oh no — unlike the real thing, for the left, elections are the highest form of the Moral Equivalent of War.

Update: And speaking of which, “Video Unearthed [of Candidate] Obama Blasting McCain And Bush For Taking Their Eye Off The Ball In Afghanistan.”

    He’s being truthful.

    His goal, and the goal of all Democrats, is to weaken America and cause its destruction.

    Some guesses about Obama, who has revealed so little about his past and motivation. My guess is that Obama is a socialist narcissist, full of wishful thinking, convinced that most of life would be better if he were given the power to rearrange everything. The following describes what I think is his position.

    Obama sees himself as a leader of The World, with a power base in the US. Not yet THE leader of the world, and not merely an example for the world.

    He intends to bring a rational voice to world politics while damping the avaricious nature of his own country the U.S.   He thinks he is the smartest man in the room world, and can craft reasonable solutions if given a chance. He may be the only one who sees these solutions as correct, until others catch up.

    He says that he wants the right solution as a philosopher king, not a closed-minded victory for the U.S.

    He says this isn’t a football game. Why fight over the ball for victory when we should be sharing the ball under his leadership? He wants the U.S. to be like all the other countries, especially the socialist ones. He says that we are not exceptional.

    Tyrannies such as Cuba, Venezuela, Russia, China, and Iran are badly run, but at least they are further along the road to top-down rule. Their regimes can be changed from bad to enlightened without going through the pain of convincing their populations through elections.

    The problem with Iran is that their words don’t match their deeds. This is a matter of education, to bring their words and deeds into agreement. It is more of a teaching problem than a win/lose adversarial relationship.

    It was the TOTUS that programmed that into the POTUS.

    To paraphrase Orwell, who controls the TOTUS controls the POTUS and who controls the POTUS concocts the FUBAR.
