It is not corrected by ignoring the facts or trying to shift the blame to a third party. The Defense Policy Board at the Freedom Foundation sent a letter to Clinton in 1998 urging the overthrow of Sadaam Hussein. Most of these same signatories became key figures in the Bush Administration.
This is probably the reason Bush stated that there was a plan for regime change in the Clinton administration when answering questions in Monterrey. A copy of the letter is on the website of Freedom Foundation. This is not a liberal Foundation. Another site that I would like to recommend that has a critical essay on our military missteps on the war on terror can be found at the American War College site.
It is not only related to the military, but discusses the effects of the economics of being able to continue our overseas defense as well as improve our homeland defense measures. The gist of the article is that we have to choose our priorities and adjust to fourth generation warfare while still preserving an economy that can sustain our military obligations.
