1. Oh dear me. this is sounding like old times.

Guess my problem is I have lived during Korea, Vietnam and now Iraq.( In grade school we had maps and had to know where they were fighting all the time in WW2.) I think they may be using old plans and hoping for new results. Maybe it is men from Texas and the love of battle or something?

3. I thought

the war was over, was I mistaken. I believed Goerge when he said the mission was accomplished.

4. He was right. The mission was accomplished.

Your only mistake was thinking the mission was the war.

The mission was to create the illusion of a macho military man in the WH by getting his chickenhawk ass photographed in a military setting wearing a flight suit. Done and done!
