In Vietnam, General Westmoreland rejected US Military Science of real estate, Real Estate, REAL ESTATE by inventing the failed boondoggle of SEARCH AND DESTROY.
Always eager to conform the World into the World view of their former Harvard Professors, Harvard graduates GWB and BHO invented the failed boondoggles of SHOCK AND AWE, and WHACK A MOLE, respectively.
Both are derivatives of the failed Search and Destroy boondoggle.
BTW, should Ivy-League graduates be prohibited from running for any National Political office?
Logically, under the separation of powers doctrine, officers of the court like lawyers (GWB was an MBA, I know) should be barred from both the Legislative and the Executive branches.
Why do you consider Shock and Awe to be a boondoggle?
