I'm not obsessed with Bush at all. The fact is - the author rightly mentions Bush's failure as a key reason for the disaster in Iraq. Whereas you deny his culpability without actually providing a good rebuttal, choosing to resort to personal insults in the absence of a good argument. I find it amusing that you've not even entertained the possibility that he might have screwed up, let alone looked at the ways in which he dropped the ball.
In my humble opinion, a man who calls himself elhombrelibre ought to spend some time thinking things through for himself rather than repeating the shibboleths of the talking heads. Anyway, I've spent quite enough time trying to get a debate going. Since you're obviously not interested, I won't press the issue. Feel free to have the last word with yet another fusillade of insults. I'll file them away and combine them for the next time I'm stuck in traffic and feel like giving the motorist who's blocking the road a piece of your mind.
Also on another note, I would propose that it was not Tommy Franks who turned away from defeating the Republican Guard in detail.
I believe that Schwarzkopf had responsibility in issuing countermanding orders, and it was Powell (and/or higher) who flinched at the actual slaughter.
I believe this strongly, having served in that war, and having some insight from there. It was a point for some argument afterward. When the dust settled, Franks was promoted and Schwarzkopf retired.
