Interesting speech from the President the other day. He's making noises about ending this shitty 'War on Terror'. If congress would get the hell outta the way, we might be able to finally close our version 'Devil's Island' at Guantanemo. He is also talking about restricting the use of drones by taking the targeting out of the cowboy's hands over at CIA.

Unfortunately tha "cowboys" at the CIA have a better track record than the Army.
