The last time I said that, all you could do was mock me for it.
I know that laying all our cards on the table would be shooting ourselves in the foot.
I also know what
our enemies know; that the way to win a war against America is to bog us down in a quagmire until we lose political support.
We couldn't have done a better job of that. We lost (or never got) support for the war by
not providing a GOOD REASON for being there. It didn't have to be the comprehensive, actual reason; but at least a
GOOD-SOUNDING REASON. Fail.
