Almost 2,500 years separate these maxims...and Bush fucked up both of them.
“It is a common mistake in going to war to begin at the wrong end, to act first, and wait for disasters to discuss the matter.”
– Thucydides
“No one starts a war--or rather, no one in his senses ought to do so--without first being clear in his mind what he intends to achieve by that war and how he intends to conduct it.”
Carl Von Clauswitz
The Bumbler In Chief.
