The bottom line in the War on Terror?
For some reason this morning, I feel the need to repeat what I see as the bottom line assessment of the War on Terror.
There are more terrorists now than before the ill advised invasion of Iraq. There are more terror attacks now than before the invasion of Iraq.
That's it. There's no clearer judgement than that.
Bush is often lauded for his "strong leadership" in the aftermath of 9/11 based predominantly on the "bullhorn moment" at ground zero. But that took place several days after 9/11.
What I remember from 9/11 is a shaky and unsure president skipping around the country making unreassuring statements while his Vice President took charge in the war room, cutting Bush out of the loop and allegedly usurping a power delegated solely to the president by issuing a shoot down order on one of the commercial aircraft involved.
Okay, enough ranting.
