"Barack Obama's campaign is built around us losing in Iraq."

[Greg the dogsitter]

This reminds me of the false dilemma of a loving parent who will eventually leave a big inheritance. One can want the parent to live, and one can want the benefit of the inheritance. Though the two outcomes cannot coexist, this does not mean that one can't want both.

The quote in my subject line equates the desire for the inheritance with the desire for the parent's death, and that's dishonest.
