Sun Tsu: What distinguishes a sucessful general....

[Lester222]

...from an unsuccesful one?

The successful general has done the math.


I wonder if this administration ever did?

[katsy]

1. all math is "fuzzy" according to the chimp.

[Joe Chi Minh]

2. Failure is not an option. Why bother with the math?

[no_hypocrisy]

3. Welcome to DU.

4. Bloo Tsu: The successful one wins.

[JHB]

5. Who says they were unsuccessful?

Whether or not they were unsuccessful depends on what their actual goals were (as opposed to the ones they've stated publicly).

They got their tax cuts, and their pals are making money hand over fist. How was that not successful?

This administration has never given any indication of acting in good faith.

6. rove is the anti-tsu

and i'm aLways surprised when he wins doing the exact opposite of what sun tsu states.

[Casper Alabaster]

7. I don't doubt the Mal-Adminstration c/o Bush

failed to do any math, but chose among several theories/options resulting in a less than disappointing outcome for the citizens and taxpayers, again. The bureaucracy will lumber on long after Bushco's gone, and that's the tough part of heeding Sun-Tzu's advise, and Thomas Jefferson's.

8. Sun Tzu knew that retreat and yielding

ultimately could lead to victory. This administration is not only corrupt they are woefully inept at the "art of war". They have one tool in their shed... the hammer and they wonder why things do not work out.

[MGD]

9. Bush is not the general however, he is the ruler

and, as such, the Generals who receive his commands are responsible for calculating the advantages and the disadvantages.
