Bush has been saying this since 9-11: Putin now: "In general, we need to admit that we did not show an understanding of the complexities and dangers of the processes occurring in our own country and in the world," he said in a grim televised address to the nation.

"In any case, we couldn't adequately react ... We showed weakness, and weak people are beaten."

Kerry Makes Stealth Visits to Wounded Soldiers??
Patterico

John Kerry recently claimed that he visited wounded soldiers at a hospital "the other day." Bryon at Slings and Arrows is trying to figure out what he's talking about. Bryon doesn't remember any news coverage of any such visit, and neither do I. Nor can either of us find any recent reference to any such visit in the news.

None of this necessarily means that Kerry didn't visit a hospital that had wounded soldiers. (Although, the fact that John Kerry says something happened doesn't necessarily mean that it did.) But if Kerry did visit wounded soldiers recently, it doesn't seem to have gotten much press coverage -- and that is interesting in itself. After all, Kerry has a spotty record when it comes to encounters with the military on the campaign trail. . .

The most obvious mistake they made-the TV sequence makes it obvious-is not sealing off the area. They didn't "control the perimeter." The mix of commandos and parents was terrible. And it allowed some terrorists to escape.


I'm sure every police force on earth is asking themselves how they would have handled it. Granted, not controlling the perimeter was a big mistake. But if they had controlled the perimeter, things wouldn't have been that much better.
