Those who cannot remember the past....

"Congress shouldn't tell generals how to run the war,...Congress should not shortchange our military. Congress should not use an emergency war-spending measure as a vehicle to put pet spending projects on that have nothing to do with the war."

No, this isn't a quote from the Vietnam War, it's from President Bush, regarding the Democrats' insistence on a withdrawal date from Iraq. Sometimes it's like living in a time warp... imagine the map of Iraq morphing into the map of Vietnam, and all the rhetoric about terrorism changing back to communism. The details have changed, but the story stays the same. It's like a bad remake of a bad war movie. Some of the details have been modernized, but it's the same old, bad story, with a very bad director named Dick Cheney and an awful starring actor named George Bush.

No, evidently Bush believes that only the PRESIDENT should second-guess the generals. Especially if the president and the rest of his advisors dodged military service themselves.
Generals say that we should withdraw from Iraq? Fire 'em! The same way you fire prosecutors who can't find evidence of voter fraud benefitting the Democrats!
Wow, if only they'd been looking for voter fraud that benefitted the Republicans, they'd have been very successful.
