4) Is a "war of choice" really hell or just the likely outcome of one's own leader's creation?
5) Do you think Nixon's foreign policy decisions were successful? If so, explain the helicopter evacuations from Vietnam.
6) Is the full price of a book more important than the full price of blood being paid for inept decisions?
7) Where are the emperor's clothes?
That's enough for now. I have a few more but I'll wait a while (pun intended).

Talk about begging the question?? Sheesh!
1.Not exactly, but I don't feel that anybody other than Congress, at the most, should be privy to some secrets. We're not dealing with the conventional enemy here,and I think that comes into play greatly here. 2. Short and sweet--that's what those people in Congress are for, to help their constituents(?) understand what's up. 3 and 4 are pure crap,so I won't dignify with an answer. 5. I was speaking of His achievements outside of 'Nam. 6 and 7( See 3 and 4) Hopefully you have a fireplace!
