Photo Op Leadership
Our Veep, Dick Cheney, on an interview with ABC News, basically accused the Dem's (Pelosi/Murtha) of pursuing a strategy that validates the al Quaida strategy (breaking the will of the America people). Bush, Cheney, and the chickenhawk crowd on the otherhand have been living a strategy since 2003 that has fueled the WW al Quaeda recruiting drive.
Our key stone cops Administration has totally underestimated the 100% total lie of a War, butchered the reconstruction, and now we are stuck in the middle of a no-win Religious Civil War.
Are our Soldiers fighting valiantly? Yes. Do our Soldiers deserve the full support of the American people? Yes. Do we continue to sacrifice the lives of our young and brightest, because we have inflexible, stay the course, stick your head in the sand leadership? Heck NO!
Yes, we have to continue to fight terrorism aggressively, but we need a better plan of attack that has intelligence instead of arrogance behind it. Putting our troops in position to attack the leadership and infrastructure of al Quaeda, instead of watching them get blown up by roadside bombs or shot out of the sky in helicopters.
Something has to change. We have photo op leadership. Flying to an aircraft carrier for a photo op when we supposedly had mission accomplished in Iraq. Flying to Iraq for a surprise visit to bolster the troops on Thanksgiving for a photo op. Going to a pristine, spin and span ward at Walter Reed hospital for a photo op, while a few hundred yards away, we have injured Iraq veteran hero's, living in squalid, rat infested conditions, we wouldn't allow our dog to stay in.
You measure people by their actions not their words. Our Soldiers actions? Heroic. Our Leaders actions? Unconscionable.
