Sound familiar? It's a quote from daddy Bush after the first Gulf War. Georgie really has a chip on his shoulder about actual war heros and must have some serious guilt and regrets for bar hopping in Texas and Alabama. One might even think that George takes actions just to spite his father, regardless of the cost or repercussions. Maybe he feels guilty about the 500 guys that he jumped in front of to get into the cushy stateside post during the war. Wouldn't it be interesting if someone interviewed a surviving family of one of the guys that he jumped in front of, who wasn't quite as lucky as George?
"Had we gone the invasion route, the United States could conceivably still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land. It would have been a dramatically different — and perhaps barren — outcome."And from Howard Baker:
"Even if Hussein were captured and his regime toppled, U.S. forces would still have been confronted with the specter of a military occupation of indefinite duration to pacify the country and sustain a new government in power."
