Representative Murtha should be told that military service does not equate to sound leadership in all things, nor should military leadership be viewed as a sole qualification for policy creation, either.

Yeah, imagine. I'm always amazed at how many Americans seem content to have the politicians running the military in times of war as if even a remote number have all the details to make the tactical and strategic decisions and even if they did that they'd know what the hell to do with the info. The Congress should just shut their pie holes and let the military do what it does.

One thing I truly admire about W's war leadership is that he openly admits that his decisions are the result of the assessments of his military leaders on the ground.

That, in turn, gains him the respect of our forces.He's my kind of CIC.
