"...not made a rash decision based on self-serving power needs."

It is one thing to disagree with a decision, but it is quite another use the same faulty logic you accuse someone else of to condemn them!
You say HE didn't have proper information to make his decision, but then YOU claim it was "based on self-serving power needs".... and that is pure speculation to condemn something YOU don't like.

Then you go on:"The Al-Qaeda threat is being used today in the same way the Communist threat was used by McCarthy to make many lives miserable."

,...and that is nonsense! Joe McCarthy invented 'commies' out of wholecloth to label anyone he didn't like, whereas there is clear intelligence about Al-Qaeda and Al-Qaeda wannabes, and many Al-Qaeda operatives have been killed by drones which, despite the always regrettable 'collateral damage' is far less than traditional warfare! We are not IN a traditional 'war' any more, and probably never will be again. We are learning how to combat enemies who use terror fueled by religion... and it is not easy to decide how to proceed.

Unless you can claim to read minds, it is foolish to categorically state that you can decipher motives of those who sort thru thousands of possible courses of action in dozens of categories every day!
My ex-wife of 40 years ago 'analyzed' any action of mine that she disagreed with as proof that "I didn't care about her feelings"
I sure am reminded of her in these days of knee-jerk reactions to political issues and figures.
