So do i like and support the president. You are absolutely right in having an understanding of the fog of war and Plan B theory in general. But you go a bit to far when you say: "I just believe there is too much carping over how and why decisions were made and actions taken. It is unhelpful and in some cases it gives aid and comfort to the enemy and may embolden their actions against us." This is the price we pay for democracy. If folks didnt bring mistakes to the fore, more soldiers could ultimately be lost and the executive and military would have too much power to do as they please. We have to be patient with our liberal friends--i bet you have some too. But calling them traitors and that is what you imply when you say "gives aid and comfort to the enemy" you are weakening our case not strenghening. Take a leaf out of the Bush book for when anti-war demonstrators protest his visit or his speech, he always talks of freedom of speech. Mike
