THE NEW BOOK

The new book by bob woodward apparently details infighting by b.o. advisors regarding the Afghanistan war strategy.

We find it not at all surprising that insiders provide the President with a variety of opinions about strategy and tactics, etc.

Savvy folks of all political persuasions know that infighting is not only normal within administrations, but is actually very important and should be encouraged.

What is discouraging is the two-facedness of this President – his own apparent desire to ‘lose’ the war- and his willingness to treat the war as a purely political issue, not one of real national security which requires leadership, even politically sacrificial presidential leadership.
