A President Has To Provide

You Can Have A Broad Popular Democracy Movement And Have It End Being Taken Over By The Most Vicious People And The Result Is You Don't End Up With Free Political Systems Or Free Economic Systems, You End Up With A Handful Of Radicals Controlling The Country.

We Know Where They Are. They Are In The Area Around Tikrit And Baghdad.

When You Raise Issues With The President, Try To Come Away With Both That Decision And Also A Precedent. Pose Issues So As To Evoke Broader Policy Guidance. This Can Help To Answer A Range Of Similar Issues Likely To Arise Later.

The Implication That There Was Something Wrong With The War Plan Is Amusing.

The Problem Is The People Who Tend To Be The Best Organized Are The Most Radical And The Most Vicious.
