In President George W. Bush’s truculent vacillations that run between the incompetency of the Johnson Presidency and the vituperativeness of the Nixon administration, we are truly getting the worst of both.
Now comes the 21st century version of Tet.
At the height of a surge in US. troops and while the President was singing the accolades of the administration’s latest strategy, the insurgency rocked American confidence in the war effort by staging a dramatic example that they were far from quashed.
They didn’t have to win the battle, just by staging it. . . . They won!!!
The President lost the confidence of America, thusly America lost the war.
The American people had come to realize, after much effusion of blood, that hearts and minds cannot be won through military efforts.
Unfortunately, the last occurrence of Tet, saw almost five more years of fighting.
Will we have to go through that?
Shudder at the thought,everyone, shudder with dread.
Are we waiting until the body count ticks up to 58,000?
Truly, this is not a struggle between ideologies, not between conservative or liberal, nor between Muslim and non Muslim. Neither is it between western society and Arabic society.
This is an age old struggle between right and wrong!!!!!
And what we’re doing is very wrong!
Deja voodoo anyone !
