"AS a senior commander in Iraq and Afghanistan, I lost 80 soldiers. Despite their sacrifices, and those of thousands more, all we have to show for it are two failed wars. This fact eats at me every day, and Veterans Day is tougher than most."The truth about the wars is just one consequence of the truth about our national policy apparatus and current politics.
What's the way forward?
ps: just got this feedback from a guy in Texas, disgusted with both parties, his gov (Rick Perry) & Obama:
And what does that say about our electorate? A slow-motion train wreck?
When YOU see your own slow-motion train wreck proceeding ... what do YOU do?
We're all in this together. Blame isn't good enough. We need to coordinate some solutions on a scale bigger than ever before seen. It's up to us.

"The Obama admin is a train wreck – Washington is being run by a bunch of lying Chicago gangsters who honed their skills at the Richard M or Richard J Daly School of Government – which is governance by edict or something akin to way things run in Tehran, Caracas, Moscow, or Pyongyang – Chicago knows nothing about Jeffersonian or Madison Democracy."Well said!!!

Also, based on the process of the 9/11 commission, repeating that debacle won't help either.
We need something on an order much bigger than that.
Once again, we have met the enemy, and they are part of each of us.
And no, it's not a problem with the mirror.
