please sir, may i have some more?
The consistent misunderstanding of the very close relationship between cause and effect in our country’s government is staggering. Impeachable, you might say.
For instance, Sun Tzu figured out some 2700 years ago that it’s important to “carefully guard your line of supplies.” He knew that an army fights on his stomach. He knew that because he was a petty soldier who became the most respected general, strategist, and tactician in all of history. His experience showed him that, if you’re going to fight a war (he advises against it), make sure that you can get your troops the things they need to fight. Make sure they have food, medicine, and weapons (in that order).
Now, we all know that the Iraq war was “planned” well before any reason had been pitched to the US population. Administration members have said as much, hiding behind the argument that “it all came out pretty well, though, didn’t it? Support our troops!”
Well, let’s take stock, shall we?
Did it come out well? So far, no, it’s been a dysmal failure typical of our President’s (if that’s really what he is) executive leadership. He’s done exactly what the Left has feared and warned all along: he’s made a powerful enemy where before there was a stuffed shirt.
So let’s talk about that “support our troops” part. We know that the military there was already undersupplied in armor, both for themselves and their vehicles. That scandal’s already well-known. But now, it turns out the ill-plannedness has gone to a deeper level: they’ve broken Sun Tzu’s basic principles: they’re not feeding the troops properly. Now, this looks to me like Warwick, RI, of all places is stepping up to the plate where the fucking US won’t.
What will it take to impeach the agents of transnational corporations that have userped the power of the people of the United States?
