It would be a ridiculous thing to gloat right now. It would be silly to say "see, it's just as we said, war is bad and these elections prove how you've handled it all so terribly." It would be poor form to bring up hubris. And wouldn't it be shameful to condemn extra-judicial, unconstitutional policies like 'extraordinary rendition' for 'unlawful combatants.' Terrible to highlight the obvious flaws of a 'torture as intelligence-gathering' policy. Terrible to talk about the low-opinion of America abroad, the hatred and terrorism fostered by the ill-guided actions of a swaggering administration that squandered the capital it was given on such a deplorable and poorly-informed endeavor. It would be a ridiculous thing to gloat right now...
