'In his memoirs, "A World Transformed," written five years ago, George Bush Sr. wrote the following to explain why he didn't go after Saddam Hussein at the end of the Gulf War.
"Trying to eliminate Saddam...would have incurred incalculable human
and political costs. Apprehending him was probably impossible.... We
would have been forced to occupy Baghdad and, in effect, rule Iraq....
There was no viable "exit strategy" we could see, violating another of
our principles. Furthermore, we had been consciously trying to set a
pattern for handling aggression in the post-Cold War world. Going in
and occupying Iraq, thus unilaterally exceeding the United Nations'
mandate, would have destroyed the precedent of international response
to aggression that we hoped to establish. Had we gone the invasion
route, the United States could conceivably still be an occupying power
in a bitterly hostile land."
If only his son could read.'

I do have a knack for a dramatic phrase now and then, but to discount my opinion by writing me off as a 'drama queen' discounts the ligitimate concern of a sizeable portion of this country who you could call 9/11 Americans and who realize that we are fighting WWIII here and the outcome is going to determine the what kind of century we live in. The last thing we need is 9/10 Americans in denial trying to hinder us at every turn.
I guess you could call him ( http://gaypatriot.blogspot.com/

It's not an assessment; it's an observation.
Everyone is entitled to make them. Some are just better at it than others.

For starters:
The Price of Loyalty, Ron Suskind
Against All Enemies, Richard A. Clarke
Worse Than Watergate, John W. Dean
Bush at War, Bob Woodward
Plant of Attack, Bob Woodward
I'm sure none of them meet with your approval.
