Meet the new boss · Same as the old boss

Posted By John Moore on August 28, 2009

A knowledge of history helps one repeats the mistakes of the past.

Now, Obama, the new boss, seems to be making the same mistakes as the last Democrat war-time old boss – Lyndon Johnson.

Johnson almost certainly caused the loss of the Vietnam War, spending the lives of 58,000 of my fellow comrades in arms to do so. He did this by crippling the US war-fighting apparatus by applying stupid rules.

Now we see Obama starting to do the same thing in his Vietnam: Afghanistan.  The latest stupidity: battlefield detainees have to  be turned over the Afghanis within 96 hours. This in a conflict with difficult logistics.

So we’re going to see helicopters rushing detainees to US bases for interrogation so they can get a little time before turning them over to the incompetent Afghanis- when those choppers could be moving wounded soldiers or much needed supplies.

Meanwhile, our intelligence arms are crippled. Interrogation of intelligence sources has been removed from the CIA and handed over to the FBI – a domestic, not international security organization.

Stay tuned for more idiocies from our empty suited new boss.
