I said this nine years ago. You cannot mobilize a nation for a protracted war unless you can articulate an enemy, an objective, and victory conditions.
If Bush has said that the muslims are attacking America militarilary, economically, and idealogically, he could have proposed sweeping changes a decade ago that would have found us in better shape today.
By pretending we were at war with some extreme tribe in Afghanistan, he assured a protracted struggle that would result in a muslim ascending to the presidency of the United States.
Hopefully, the next president will understand this, ween us off oil imports, arm Israel to the teeth, and extricate us from this endless police action.
You are the man. I have repeatedly said that we are breaking an axiom of warfare (Sun Tzu) by not properly identifying and characterizing our enemy in order to locate, close with, and destroy him.
As such, we continue to waste our national treasure and sons and daughters....with no decisive victory in sight.
