If you were still among the few who continued to hope that somewhere in that head of his President Bush was in touch with reality, you now have proof he is not.
Speaking by video-conference with U.S. military and civilian personnel in Afghanistan about the challenges posed by war, corruption, and the poppy trade, the president said:
“I must say, I'm a little envious. If I were slightly younger and not employed here, I think it would be a fantastic experience to be on the front lines of helping this young democracy succeed. It must be exciting for you … in some ways romantic, in some ways, you know, confronting danger. You're really making history, and thanks.”
He should have listened too whoever said:
“Better to be quiet and thought a fool than to speak and let everyone know for
sure”.
We now have evidence that our Commander-In-Chief has absolutely no idea what war is about. There is a saying in Texas, "One Riot, One Ranger." He must have changed his attitude since he had an opportunity for “a fantastic experience” in Viet Nam but he decided to let others enjoy it. Now Viet Nam was a pretty romantic war.
I suspect many of our military leaders know and have known the President is clueless but I wonder how many thought that “confronting danger” is “in some ways romantic.”
Clinton , Obama will have a field day with this one and McCain will have to keep his head down. I thought the Hanoi Hilton was a prison do you suppose it really was a tourist hotel and McCain spent 6 years or so lounging around the pool?
