Ok I just have to: Can you say OWNED?
But you do not decide where to fight on the basis of history; you decide on the basis of strategic realities of the ground.
That's the kind of statement that needs to be rammed into the faces of these Democrats! Why can't the President come out and make STRONG statements that reveal the way things really stand?
Actually, the President needs to stand up and say that one of the failings in VietNam was that the war was being fought by politicians in Washington and not the Generals on the battlefield.
The Democrats want to run this war from Washington and take the decisions out of the hands of the Generals trained to complete the mission.
