You expressed my thoughts perfectly. I'm WAY down in the dumps, too.
Then snap OUT of it! NOW! Sit up straight! Smile!
Seriously, I wonder tonight how we can proceed as a nation with such dishonorable people in places of responsibility. What does it say about us to the enemy, to our children. Maybe it has always been this way and I never noticed.
I think that Falluja and the nonsense with al Sadr was handled extremely well, better even that the dash to Baghdad. Bringing the economy around like that, under most people we would have had a minor depression. Brilliant understanding and leadership of Science and Technology issues and not just NASA (I am a bit on the inside here and see it better perhaps than the layman, but still...it is all out there in the public domain.) I could go on and on...
And not one bit of credit. Not one bit.
