In reply to my post on Vic sent me this Captain’s Quarter’s 20×20 hindsight post supporting Bush and decision to overthrow Saddam. Frankly, as a fellow who crossed his fingers for this war like Tom Friedman I resent the Captain’s ignoring the most salient factor. Bush blew it. He and his administration have been totally incompetent and taken a bad situation and made it much worse.
Only a hack can be expected to excuse Bush for making such a hash of this dangerous project which, contrary to what Captain Ed says, was always much more of an option than a necessity.
