When the attempt to rescue the hostages in Iran failed (because of wide-spread f**ckups) Carter went to television and said, in effect, "I'm the Commander-In-Chief and as such it's my responsibility."

When 283 marines died a few years later in Lebanon, Reagan went on television and said in effect, "Heads will roll!"

Carter, who has a degree in nuclear engineering, went to TMI to see what went wrong and how to fix it. W, who has a degree in, I think, business, simply looks for ways to continue the sins of the past.

Leadership? Command?
