Thread Name: BS: Bush and Meet the Press????
Subject: RE: BS: Bush and Meet the Press????
I thought that President bush (I refuse to capitlize his name) made one perfect point. In answer to his personal views on the VietNam war, he made the point that where it went wrong was that it became a "political" war. He went on to explain that ...   the President sets the policy (meaning war) and he should let the military do it's job (meaning winning the war). But when the politicians get into the act, they start making military decisions that fail. I agree with him.

I feel the problem with the Iraq war is that President bush failed to do ONE more thing: in addition to making policy, he'd better make damned sure that he's got the citizens support before he decides to make war.

Just my opinion! Bob
