The impending Veto

[Undertoad]

Shorter tw: the most rampant and horrible and false anti-Americanism is justified because Bush sucks.

Y'know, I've posted this strategic overview from 2003 at least four times. But it's long, and tw cannot read. It doesn't matter anyway; tw's approach is not to debate credibly, to share facts and information and opinions so we all come away smarter. It's to harangue and lecture us so he feels good about himself.

No matter that he gets caught in mistakes time and time again such as "Jenin massacre" and "Hezbollah is not in Beruit" and "The Baghdad museum was looted" and etc.; if he can define the agenda, he can demand that only his view is valid. He can say that only his questions are important and also that only his answers are reasonable. It's a parlor trick, benefitting no-one.

It seems very obvious to me that the big #1 overall strategic objective is to win the global war on terror, which is politically correct shorthand for preventing Islamic fundamentalists from destroying large sectors of civilization.

But I notice that some people don't believe in a global war on terror. Which in turn is weird, because it's directly in their face. Bush may be incompetent but unlike his detractors he has not forgotten what the long game is. If part of his incompetency is not reminding you or not communicating effectively enough, you're on the hook to figure it out for yourself. Work hard at it, it's important. Here's a nice big hint from our friends in London.
