Gen. John P. Abizaid, until recently the senior commander in the Middle East, insists that the answer to our problems there is not military. "You have to internationalize the problem. You have to attack it diplomatically, geo-strategically," he said.

BECAUSE THEY ARE THE CLOWNS OF THE CIRCUS

There is perhaps some degree of stubborness on the part of the Bush administration to get the job done. There are no guarantees that either a military build up or diplomacy will bring about an end to the problems in Iraq. There is no crystal ball that has the ultimate solution and it is really a matter of opinion and endless debate. As Commander and Chief, it is Bushes job to make the best decision possible from all the available options. It resmbles, but is not really a circus. The war is not really Bush's. It is a war that we all, as Americans are involved in, like it or not. Bush is our elected executive and he is merely the one that decides on what action to take. The decision is one of all Americans, though we sometimes don't like it.

The general is sort of right, they need a leader who knows how to win such a war. I watched Charlie company, Iraq last night its Viet Nam all over again! So we're at a real loss, the way you treated us soldiers of that war for the last 40 years has been shameful, but that even we soldiers have to continue to pay along with you because you excluded us from so much while we survived and excelled isn't sweet revenge. On my way out of that war, I was asked if I wanted to come back and I laughed at the Sergant, and said we both know this is a cluster F&&&, and nobody is listening to our field reports, so nothing is being done to prepare us which will get us into bad trouble. I left S. Viet Nam, January 10th 1968. One or two weeks before Tet. I was on my 30 day leave before reporting to 5th US Army DPC in Chicago. A nice time for the Democratic National Convention that summer. I was still in the Army.

Because he thinks he is above the law. He thinks he is the only source of power and all others are below him.
He has fired several generals that have been in disagreement with him, many others just stepped down and resigned so not to be held accountable morally or legally for war crimes.
He does not believe the top military brass are more professional than he is, with more experience, so he refuses to listen to anyone, militarily or congressionally. To top that off, refuses to listen to WE THE PEOPLE, and violates our constitution and international law, every chance he gets.

Top Brass will always disagree with the Commander-In-Chief, at some point. But Bush is the man. So live with it. Get over it.

He even said he doesn't care if only "Barney" and some other character are his only supporters during this war.
