Reply #10: "Inside the Presidency" ... and Iraq humiliation

[housewolf]

This is the show:
Historychannel.com
Inside the Presidency with Bob Woodward.
Looks like it's scheduled for Sunday am, check your local listings. The History Channel also did a multi-part series called "The Presidents" that covered a brief biography of all of our presidents and their terms. I enjoyed it and learned a few things.

So what is it, do you think.... that they have been so stubbornly incompetent???

I think they will do as you suggest - keep dumbing down the bar of sucess so that they can say "hey, we gave them elections, that was our goal, if they f*** it up well it's up to them to fix it now" and then pulling out claiming victory

But then I swing to the other said and say but... that doesn't fit with them wanting permanent bases and a military presence in the area...

So I stay stuck in the mystery of what the heck are they/we doing???

To me, the real humiliation was going in there in the first place, only to be aggravated by allowing the place to fall apart.
