What war are you watching? Maybe Bush isn't picking targets, but he's sure as hell picking what not to target. Furthermore, if this is the "Donald/Tommy Show", who, pray tell, do Donald and Tommy work for?
No dude, this is Bush trying to apply his "new tone" to warfare, and that doesn't work. If we must go to war, then we need to do it as quickly as possible, as violently as possible, and decisively as possible, so when our enemy is defeated, he stays that way, and no one else dares to lift a finger against us (think of Japan after WW2). To do anything else is to needlessly put our troops further in harm's way. If our guys are being shot at, regardless of by whom or where he's hiding, they ned to have the freedom to eliminate the threat without having to first stop and look for items on the forbidden targets list.

"The same BS was being thrown around in Afghanistan. More bombing, bigger bombs, more troops, we need to unleash the hounds. Sure enough Afghanistan fell that same week."
Oh, Afghanistan fell, did it? Is that why the 82d is on a sweep mission right now as we speak, looking for Al-Qaeda and Taliban guerillas and their weapons? Is that why the guerillas, who you say "fell", rocketed one of the 82d's bases last week? No, sir, Afghanistan didn't "fall". The guerillas did as they have done in the past with the Brits and the Soviets...ran away to the mountains and caves to fight the same guerilla war they've always fought. Afghanistan is far from over.
