Why do you assume anyone calling for a change is ignorant? Better
question: why do you assume Shrub or Rumsfeld will ever pull their heads
out of their asses? And why do you assume defeating radical Islam is
their top priority?
I called it (Iraq) a bad idea from the beginning. "Books will be written
about the failures of the Bush Administration," says Condie Rice.
Nothing is going as our "leaders" said it would. What we are doing is
not working.
What we are doing is not working.
What we are doing is not working.
Now, if we had leadership that actually listened and adapted, and, you
know, LEAD, people like me who give a damn and know some things wouldn't
have to get in so many faces. (Those faces do NOT include sand squid and
anyone else doing the work. If a soldier disagrees with me, we might
argue. But I show them no hint of disrespect, because it's not there.)
