My post 229 is also in disagreement. I said the Centcom maxim of "at a time and place of our choosing" was being followed. Reagan Man doesn't think the administration has that kind of disipline.
My basic thought was the judicial battle was delayed during the war when I would have been unnoticed. That was battle management as you have suggested.
Don't be puting words in my mouth. This has nothing to do with disipline.
Getting Bush`s court nominees through the process and appointed is a major priority for conservatives and that process shouldn't be put off because the US went to war in Iraq. That is a lame excuse in my opinion.
>>>You wait until you are forced to do battle before you do so.
>>>However in time of war it is not.
Both of these statements show an inadequte understanding of American politics. You don't wait to engage your political opponent on such a critical issue as Supreme Court nominees because we're at war. Republicans can handle both issues at the same time.
If you're both old enough to remember the VietNam War, then you'd also remember that the Democrat majority in the Congress lead by LBJ, didn't wait to push through their Great Society programs, because the US was engaged in military conflict.
The Founding Fathers didn't put aside their internal politics, because they were engaged in a battle for independence from the King of England.
Get real.
