"War Powers" and U.S. History.
#8
RE: "War Powers" and U.S. History.
Oh, I think Dubya knew what he intends to achieve by that war and how he intends to conduct it, the only problem is what he intends to achieve is beyond our power and how he intends to conduct it does not bring what he intends to achieve any closer.

Much the same can be said of Obama's administration's handling of the "Arab spring".

Americans, like children, are nothing if not clear in what they want. What they are unclear about is - also like children - what it takes to achieve what they want and what automatically would come with getting what they want.
