Excellent analysis by Andrew McCarthy (link in post#23).
Unfortunately I think he is correct. The "suicide ethos" which can be traced back to the 70s (Church committee etc) has struck again. In a way this is much more damming of the Clinton administration and the liberals than anything else.
Quite clearly the Democrats have shown themselves quite unsuitable to handle defence and security matters. Not so much for the short term decisions made by the policy makers, but for the climate they created, both during the Ford/Carter administrations and later during the eight years with Clinton.
Unfortunately, it is very unlikely that MSM media will pick up (and understand) what actually happened. But let's not lose faith. Hopefully some juicy truths will still be revealed during the October hearings.
