How the White House bungled the Fallujah siege – against the advice of the military on the ground. Money quote from Lt. Gen. James T. Conway:
“When you order elements of a Marine division to attack a city, you really need to understand what the consequences of that are going to be and not perhaps vacillate in the middle of something like that. Once you commit, you got to stay committed.”
Now just imagine if a president Gore had done such a thing. Do you think Republicans would have stayed mum?
