MM: What is surprising to me that this would affect you so much. Politics have been played in regard to wars at least since LBJ and Vietnam.
When I remember prior presidents (of both parties) who were willing to send soldiers to their deaths for the sole purpose of getting themselves re-elected, calling for a rapid vote is a big yawn by comparison.

Really, you believe that?

MM: Nice deliberate misinterpretation.
This was political posturing, not a military directive.

Marv, I went back to reread your original post. I certainly did misinterpret what you meant, but I assure you that it was not deliberate. Thanks for setting me straight.
