Is anybody else tired of RWers talk of our "Micromanaging this war"?
I never see anyone here mention it, but it's the new buzzword from RW talking points. Just heard it again today on Lou Dobbs' show.

These people have not only no true sense of humor or irony, but there's now originality in their thinking either.

Anyway, if the worst thing we're doing is trying to "micromanage this war", we're far ahead of them!

1. Best change that to "no" originality...
and you know, I was just thinking about this dumb talking point yesterday. Just started noticing it, and it's already very annoying! Micromanaging indeed - this from a pack of microcephalic micromanaging microdicks.

4. Heh we should tell them we're trying
especially since no one else is managing it at all. Big dorks. They'll say anything rather than take responsibility for what they've done.

5. Don't you know, that's why we lost Viet Nam.
Too much political interference. We wouldn't just let the military kill all of those gooks.

6. What war?
Congress didn't declare war........just like the other 72 times that the military has been used by the US since WWII.

Enough, already.

8. The opposite of "micromanagement" is "accountability."
You either micromanage, or you set a target and let the department do what they have to do to meet it. Micromanagement is inevitable when a department can never meet it's goals - as in this case. Why are they surprised that someone's stepping in to grab the reins? You'd be foolish not to, after this shitty performance.
