Jawohl herr Feldwebbel....
OK Skip, I won't go into the balance for or not for going into war but how about the prosecution of the war and the time period leading to it?
How about when going to war was a "last resort"? BS, it was not a last resort, it was GO IN NOW as the time for a land based mobile campaign to Baghdad was EXPIRING for at least 6 months. It was a time table that if you were going to do it you had to and if not you were on a 6 month to 12 month (actually 10-11 month initially) interval for when a land campaign was most feasible.
How about when the Army Chief of Staff says you will need HUNDREDS of thousands of US personel to secure a postwar Iraq? A PROFESSIONAL soldier, in charge of the army, being overruled by the political appointies and poli-theorists. Or ignoring and not consulting with the senior Army leadership from Bosnia/Serb canpaings/peacekeeping, or General Garner from his experience with the Kurds after GW1? Or the countless other people - professionals - that disagreed with the administration on how to prosecute the war and prosecute the peace. IMO, Bush (and clan) is a war criminal in that he let DOWN his warriors that were going to the mat for his policy and our freedoms. They have suffered the most.
I won't go into tax breaks for Big Oil - that don't need it while gouging at the pumps. I won't go into the memos on tourture. Or Tax Breaks for the ueber - wealthy. Or lack of a real energy policy that gives us technological growth and foreign policy freedom, or realiastic view on the environment (google the article on how the last 5 heads of EPA, Dem and Repub, are saying how he is effing up by the numbers).
I won't go into financing government debt by China. We've had our nuts in a vise with the Middle East due to our feeding at the hand of Saudi Oil and in addition, now we have our Foreign Policy nuts in a vice with China because they own so much of our debt.
And I need to support this guy? Bull Scheize! I ain't voting for Hillary - I can tell you that, but I thank God their are only two terms allowed. I feel sorry for the one that needs to clean up the mess....
Sorry for the Rant...
