The president does not seem to learn from experience. He has shown himself to be a man who cannot admit error, and, therefore, cannot change course even in the face of disaster. He will not listen to advice he doesn’t want to hear, and he will not absorb facts that lead logically to conclusions he doesn’t want to acknowledge.
Incredibly, he still insists that the war in Iraq is going well. He vows to persevere on the same disastrous track. He will not concede that his rationale for going to war was mistaken, despite a mountain of evidence to the contrary. Instead, he keeps shifting the rationale to justify the war.
HE WILL NOT HOLD people accountable for a poorly planned occupation and poorly managed war. The troops — too few in number from the beginning — were not properly equipped for the mission. The situation grows more perilous and the death toll of American soldiers rises almost daily.
That should put him over the top.
