Here it is, for the historical illiterates at the Washington Post: Win the war. Straighten out what's left of the war-torn nation. Bring the soldiers home as soon as possible. There, was that so hard to write, or to understand?
Lastly, of course we want to turn the task of establishing and maintaining order over to the local authorities as soon as possible. Hellooo. We did exactly that in Germany (and Japan).
It takes more than merely political bias for a so-called major newspaper to print a story like this. It also takes a phenomenal level of ignorance about American history. Unfortunately, the Post has an ample supply of both bias and ignorance.
Did I miss anything?
Congressman Billybob
Reporter: "Mr. President when are our troops going to come home what is your exit strategy."
President: Let me ask you, what was our exit Strategy in World War II?
And while the reporter waffles on the answer,
The President sez "our strategy is to WIN THE WAR"
I think the President needs to come up with a better strategy to BELITTLE the idiots in the Press Corps.
So far he is way too nice to them.
Japan. We re-built their steel production infrastructure. I know that for a fact.
