Contrast with the memo drafted by Gen. Eisenhower anticipating the possibility that Overlord might fail:
“Our landings have failed and I have withdrawn the troops. My decision to attack at this time and place was based on the best information available. The troops, the air and the Navy did all that bravery could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone.”

That was the first thing I thought when I saw the title. Before I read the article I thought that at least Obama did a “me too” ala Ike. Would have had slight kudos for him.
Obama, the buck stops there ( pointing his fingers in several directions ).

Ike was ready to “fall upon his sword” to help preserve the honor of the men he commanded, as part of his duty as a commander.
0bama doesn't seem to understand the concept of honor, or duty.
