His Daddy apparently did not tell him this. Imagine the slight GW took when his daddy had Cheney and Rummy poured down his throat. After the waterboarding was over, he understood never to venture in to the "Forest Of Carlyle". Daddy knew his son well. Let Arbusto man run a muck and make a killing. What does it feel like to be a sociopath and be called "irrelavant"? . Closer to Hannible Lecter than I care to contemplate.

If you have extra time on your hands, look at Addington, and Yoo. And then see if you're surprised about their decisions to push for torture. I guess you have to have people around you who will tell you things you don't want to hear if you want to make good decisions. Too much homogeneous content, and it's paranoia city, nutbush city limits, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Not to mention their advisers, that little cocoon is tight.

Halberstam is one of my favorite writers, historians, he strives for balance, and he's interesting. His death was such a loss. Excellent book.

And as much as shirin advocates the rank and file Iraqis wanting withdrawal, this isn't always true for the politicians. Some WANT American troop presence in the Mideast, for whatever reason. But I'm speaking of the government, not the people. Sometimes I think it almost resembles obsessive love; THEY will never let the troops go, having access to the American army is better than a new Cadillac. I cant prove that, of course, it's just my impression. The pretense at withdrawal.

It is my impression many of the same ego characteristics that destroyed MacArthur are also present in Cheney, and the neocons. In addition to the extreme right wing ideology, there is the confused messiah complex, the little boy who cant understand why his grandiose plans won't work, but won't stop attacking, until he's stopped, by a higher power. IMHO, Cheney, or Kristol say, is MacArthur, unrestrained, for the most part. I wonder who our Truman will be?

Too few heroes like you have emerged during times when George Orwell's doublespeak/newspeak is the modus operandi of the Bush/Cheney administration and their cover-ups of crimes and corruption. Too few have been willing to stand up and speak out and tell the world the truth about what has been going on. You have the background, experience, and insights to pull all the pieces together and make the connections...and show us the big picture. That's a gift. And, a gift especially to those of us so desperate to find people to speak for us. You will remain in my prayers for a complete and full recovery. Having had breast cancer and a radical mastectomy, I know a bit of what you've faced; my heart goes out to you and your family. Many blessings....and my genuine thanks to you.
