I was supportive of GWB in his military plans too, but I doubt I will ever be in favor of large scale, “boots on the ground” actions ever again, except when the US has absolutely no choice. The reason being, our politicians won’t fight to win, and win quickly. They dither and shilly shally along with half measures for years and years while our people and our allies get killed and maimed, and our money goes down the drain.
I agree. I thought that 9/11 would have been enough for our country to come together to win a war, but the Democrats were more interested in beating the feckless Bush and protecting Islam.
