View from Far East on Obama's lost election

I found this story on the Hot Air blog headline listing. It summed up what I have been trying to (unsuccessfully) articulate about the candidates: McCain's choice of Palin is a sign of confidence, Obama's pick of Biden shows weakness.

(predicts people would be turned off by weakness of picking Biden, quotes"veterans" who want troops in Afghanistan replaced by civilian aid workers)

Who TF were these veterans? I could make a crack about officers, but this was too much. If we pull the DOD assets out, does anyone believe that the USDA agronomists will be sent in? Are BHO voters really believing this stuff?!
