...this is less about deadlines and timelines than it is about coming to grips with the fact that we went to war with a fatally flawed strategy, flawed then in March of 2003, flawed today over four years later. This is all about a president who’s relying almost solely on the military component of strategy to accomplish the mission in Iraq.That, or a decorated war hero who served as a commanding general in Iraq...and he says more (video)...
Sadly, we’re missing the diplomatic, the political, and the economic components that are fundamental and required to be successful. We have an interagency process that has been dysfunctional during this administration. There’s no unity of effort between the agencies.
It — the bottom line is, we have a failed strategy now, and our president has not mobilized this great nation to accomplish the critical work to defeat global terrorism. And until we get these two things right, we’re wasting our time.
Who do you trust more, the draft dodger from Texas who never fired a rifle in combat or Major Gen. Batiste?
