Transcript:

We'll be out of Iraq by next year* (Man: We're not really here... we don't fit an easy, simple narrative.) (* but 35,000-50,000 support troops will remain and 21,000 more will be sent to Afghanistan.) GITMO will close* (Man 2: Gimme torture in a U.S. airbase in Afghanistan over a U.S. naval base in Cuba every time!) (* but the detainees will be transferred to a new camp in Afghanistan.) Torture is now illegal* (Barack Obama: And I'll never waterboard all yee-ha redneck-y like Bush- only calm and cool-like. (* But Obama reserves the right to use enchanced interrogation techniques) Habeous Corpus is back* (Man 3: This is what you get when you elect a lawyer!) (* But you can now be held in prolonged detention forever.)
