Implementation was his job; but authorization was yours, and you knew that surgery would follow your authorization. If you begin wailing that you never read the consent forms, you won't persuade anybody that it was an illegal procedure. Yeah, I'm not arguing that it was illegal, I'm arguing where blame, credit and primarily responsibility lie - with George. If my doctor tells me I'd better have the surgery to remove the tumor or I'll die in a week, and I authorize the surgery, and then he kills me during the operation and also removes from me a small gerbil (it wasn't even cancerous!) that I would have hamrlessly passed through my system in a day, I'm responsible for authorizing the surgery, but he's responsible for giving me bad advice AND killing me. The buck stops somewhere, in the decision to go to war it is with GB. That's the burden (when bad stuff happens) and the reward (when good stuff happens) of leadership.
