That is EXACTLY what FDR and Truman did. What does Laura expect the President to do, stand up there, wring his hands and cry that things are not going according to the original plan? As she should know, since she's close to military folks, very few battle plans outlive the first battle, and they shouldn't. Military planners should always be ready for changes on the ground.
The news coming out of Iraq is GOOD, and she must be ignoring that to still give the President grief about it. No, Iraq hasn't suddenly embraced democracy or even Constitutional Republicanism, but then, neither had Japan or Germany only four years after large scale military operations had ceased, and there were still elements of terrorism in areas of Germany several years after the war. No, they weren't as pronounced as those perpetrated by Al Queda, but then, that's why it's called the War on TERROR, and not just the War in Iraq.
you’re right. I was disappointed in Laura.
Many, including me, are upset with Bush for some of the missteps, like immigration. But I still like Bush the man, and I am with him on the War.
