at least the troops do their jobs.

And just so we're all clear: my frustration for this president and this war does not spill over to the troops. I have the utmost respect for the men and women of the armed forces. That being said, I don't blame the political leaders who put them in a very difficult war. The troops are truly one of the best trained military forces in the world, but they're fighting an enemy that is on an entirely different plane than we can imagine.

We're fighting a war against Middle Easterners with a Western world mindset. I don't blame the troops for that. They do their jobs. I just wish the Bush administration had done a better at their jobs.
