1. Okay, going back to watching some West Wing...

Thanks for that. Forgot how much I've missed it.

And yeah, what Bartlett said.

2. I agree, screw them, shut it down. They would anyway..n/t

5. I must admit to liking the WW universe over the "House of Cards" model.

6. ummm Bartlett spying on the country...Bartlett killing children with drones?

no, I don't think so. Bartlett was a humanist.
Remember he had a tough time going to war, altho he was willing to if he had to.

7. A casualty is a casualty, no matter if it's boots on the ground or drones in the air.

[Drunken Irishman]

10. I agree with that logic.

Except drones make it less likely the casualty is that of an American.

9. Bartlet was an internationalist.

Which Obama is attacked mercilessly by the wack-a-doo left for being ... even though he's used diplomacy now instead of arms ... and ended a war.
