Comments on: An Expensive Lesson Unlearned https://whynow.dumka.us/2007/09/12/an-expensive-lesson-unlearned/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Thu, 13 Sep 2007 15:31:25 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2007/09/12/an-expensive-lesson-unlearned/comment-page-1/#comment-29412 Thu, 13 Sep 2007 15:31:25 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/2007/09/12/an-expensive-lesson-unlearned/#comment-29412 The absurdity is that the refusal to leave is what makes it a personal failure. If he had left a year ago, it could have been passed off as “bad intel”, incompetent subordinates, whatever, but it is the refusal to leave after everyone can see it’s a failure that makes it his, and his alone.

This man is incapable of admitting, ever, that he made a mistake.

He may insist it was not a mistake. He may insist it never happened He may blame it on someone else. He may “adjust” the historical facts. But Bush will do anything rather than admit to having made a mistake. As long as he sees leaving Iraq as an admission of personal failure on his part… and the evidence is pretty good that he does see it that way… he will keep us there. All the generals and ambassadors and veeps and historians in the world will not prevent him from “vindicating” his actions.
