Cake and eat it too...
Posted by Joe Bleaux on 2006-10-31 12:03:50 | | The reason that our leaders are forced to talk like this are clear. Anything they say will be disected and used against them for political purposes - guaranteed. Besides, anyone who has any knowledge of history knows that there are no definites in war. As soon as you make a plan it gets modified. What would you have them do? Give our enemy in Iraq a definitive that they can work against? Would you hand them the means to expell our troops before the job of securing the country is completed? You really should think about these things before you blindly attack the administration for being smart enough not to hand our enemy or their political adversaries the ammunition they desire. I love the mindless political types who will declare what an idiot Bush is one minute and then turn around in the next to proclaim that he's behind some complex plot to drive up the price of oil or control the people. Can't have your cake and eat it too. Sorry |

I recognize the complexity of war and I know that circumstances change in something as incredibly complex as a 3-way civil war with a 4th party holding your capital, but what came out of that press conference was pretty much nothing. They could have said it's hot here today and my understanding of the future of Iraq would have been the same. And I don't think Bush is anywhere NEAR smart enough to be behind any complex plot, unless it's how to get more grilled cheese sandwiches. |
