In Memorial of 47
That's how I'm feeling about it.The primary problem is that it will be done like all the other military actions, political. Everything is political with these people, the military will not be able to do what it wants or needs to. The generals have not been happy with the WH micro-management.
When I first heard the President was asking for additional war powers I was like, "Cool....finally....thank you"
But is it because the polls (i.e.advisers) told him to? Because we've finally managed to convince him to do Something?
Is it just political posturing on his part just so he can say, "See? I did something" (however limited it may be) so when the shit hits the fan later it's not on him?
I'm hopeful that this is a good move but I can't help but be skeptical
