I saw this headline at MSNBC."..NYT: Obama's steep learning curve in war
Now..this may or may not be true..
But I never recall any thing like that on Bush and his team...
.Maybe. just maybe it said in 2004.."Bush did not prepare for long war"..or something like that..But steep learning curve ............no..
.... kinda implies a slow learner ..not smart, unable to learn clearly and quickly...

These kind of headlines tell me that the headline writer is biased.
.So many headlines like this appear from day to day to undermine whatever Obama does..
Needed to point this out..
..Who knows what the story says..the headline catches the eye.....

1. Just where do you learn to throw away BILLIONS and TRILLIONS
And isn't this a fucking "optional" war?

2. It's taking him a long time to learn that expanding a lost war is kinda dumb.
Unfortunately, it's the Afghans that are doing the teaching.

He should have read up on Eisenhower, FDR & LBJ instead of Lincoln.
