CHANGE: “The Democrats and their cheerleaders in the punditocracy used to scream for President George W. Bush to listen to his generals. Then Bush got better generals, listened to them, and avoided defeat in Iraq. Obama, it seems, is bent on ignoring his generals. If he takes the advice of Joe Biden instead of those expert on counterinsurgency ( and with a track record of getting war strategy right), the results may be disastrous not only on the battlefield but in the court of public opinion.”
