BTW hope you don't mind that I added a link to "GraphicTruth" to my sidebar.RevJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10197393011402035296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22207770.post-1152575354280321972006-07-10T17:49:00.000-06:002006-07-10T17:49:00.000-06:00Ooop.

I have only one tiny reservation about your call to "stay the course" and that is the current command structure and it's ability to find "a course" - or their own backsides - with a milspec GPS unit and a halogen flashlight. <BR/><BR/>Your writing presupposes competent leadearship and effective command authority; I would suggest that the "mistakes" you cite militate against that presumption.<BR/><BR/>Nonetheless, I feel that we have some obligation to consider both our moral obligation to fix what we broke, and to <I>deeply</I> consider what would happen if we did pull out. <BR/><BR/>We are not in the happy situation of choosing between an array of options ranked from good to bad, we have make the best of a bad lot. <BR/><BR/>And never mind who's fault it was - IRT your last paragraph. :P Clinton was, in my mind, the best Republican president of the last century, but even he made a few mistakes along the way.Bob Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12331371505961522315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22207770.post-1151168839757911092006-06-24T11:07:00.000-06:002006-06-24T11:07:00.000-06:00Good assessment, unbiased, at least until the last...Good assessment, unbiased, at least until the last paragraph.
