Hunker in the Bunker = Leadership?

Dick Cheney points with pride to where he hid hisself (sic) on September 11, 2001.

In an interview with Bret Baier on Fox News on Sunday, former Vice President Dick Cheney said that Mr. Trump is doing a “disservice” to those who served in the wars in the Middle East.

Recalling being in the bunker after Sept. 11, he said, “I didn’t see Donald Trump there.”

That's like Mr. McCain thinking he gained experience as a great national and tactical military leader while he was serving as a Prisoner of War in VietNam.  (Cheney likely could not strategically plan his way out of a paper bag, and the man could not even take care of his own heart -- even had to mooch a new human heart off of somebody else, somebody he brags about ... not spending time thinking of.  That's a real Christian there...)

Respectfully?  No.

The Bush Boys still do not get it.
I wonder if their children and grandchildren will one day explain it to them:  what they cost the future generations of  American children with all their macho posturing and lack of planning.

Trump is right:
America, and the citizens of the region, would be better off with Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi and Bashar al-Assad still in power and leading their respective countries. What could be worse than what we are seeing now?

Luckily Russia has stepped in to prevent the overthrow of al-Assad because there is no party there strong enough, organized enough, or ready to assume leadership.

See, the American military is very good at destroying.  Killer good.
But the American military role is not to promote democracy abroad, install leaders in sovereign nations,  or nation build.  How exactly did that go in Iraq, with all the money American taxpayers pumped in.

Just like in the Revolutionary War, or VietNam, points go to those who live in the homeland defending their country.  They're there to stay.  Our soldiers/nation-builders just rotated in and out, with no thoughts of making the occupied countries their permanent home.  They had less skin in the game.

The military people, the smarter ones, are seeing that they were sent on a fool's mission.  Some made out well, some gave all.  But very few, I think, would support America overthrowing al-Assad, and volunteering to secure the country for the next two or three decades, while the "leaders" there eke out a new nation, like our forefathers did after our own Revolutionary War for Independence.

How long did that take to establish again?  And our fighters were permanently committed to staying and birthing a new nation for themselves.

Don't the Bush Boys understand fighting and winning? The tone is off...

“I’ve written two books, which has surprised a lot of people, particularly up east, who didn’t think I could read, much less write,” the former president said. “I’ve been one to defy expectations. I’ve been misunderestimated most of my life. And as a real shock to people, I’ve become an oil painter. But let me assure you I know that the signature is worth more than the painting.”

If GWB was so concerned for the people of the region where he was allegedly intent on establishing "democracy", why doesn't he put down his oil paints and demonstrate his leadership skills in providing for the refugees his military actions helped to displace?  Isn't that false Christianity?  Looking away from the victims you created, in their time of need, so you can joke with your brother, brag on your mother, and still be a boy?

Grow up, man.
