Christopher Hitchens said:

“And that, I think, is another reason why so many people are reluctant to employ truthful descriptions for the emerging Afghan-Pakistan confrontation: American liberals can’t quite face the fact that if their man does win in November, and if he has meant a single serious word he’s ever said, it means more war, and more bitter and protracted war at that—not less.”

Key phrase:

“if he has meant a single serious word he’s ever said”

As if anything the Annointed One says should be regarded as truthful or just so much noise to get himself elected. What a laugh!
