" We used a sledgehammer to crack the nut, and now we're trying to pick the meat out of the slivers"
Very apt description RNE (hope you're feeling better BTW).
The thing is, we were CO-ERCED to get into this war, we were LIED to, and it was FORCED on us by a small group of syncophants who have total and absolute power.
Not only do we have to re-think how it happened, but what we can do about it NOT happening again, and I think we need to make those who started this more accountable, and NOT give them more rope, more money, more power to continue their hair-brained ideas.
Can't anyone else see poor judgement?
Who makes the President accountable?
WE DO!!!!!!!!
