The arrogance of the Bush administration is astounding. Never have I seen such sorry leadership in Washington. Never have I witnessed such a complete lack of accountability. It's disturbing. In the aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001, and with the grossly undermanned Iraqi occupation, not one high-level military or civilian official has been held responsible for security and planning failures -- across the board, not one.
Before accusing me of being a bleeding heart liberal, know this: I've been a life-long conservative Republican and am a U.S. Army veteran of the Persian Gulf War. I also voted for George W. Bush in 2000.
Snip,
To me, supporting the troops means balancing policy with ensuring that our men and women in uniform are deployed wisely, and not for foolish adventures in nation-building and pre-emptive warfare. This is stretching them and their families beyond their limits. That's tantamount to abuse.
They deserve better.
Snip,
I am thankful to Ms. Reynoldson for penning an article that speaks truth to power. We see to little of in print journalism today.
