IN MANAGINGE THE IRAQ WAR, HAS BUSH GONE AWOL? [+] serious ballot by cranky ACTIVE Mon Apr 30, 07 - Sat Jan 23, 10 "In principle, I do not favor Congressional involvement in the execution of U.S. foreign and military policy. I have seen its perverse effects in many cases. The conflict in Iraq is different. Over the past couple of years, the President has let it proceed on automatic pilot, making no corrections in the face of accumulating evidence that his strategy is failing and cannot be rescued. Thus, he lets the United States fly further and further into trouble, squandering its influence, money, and blood, facilitating the gains of our enemies. The Congress is the only mechanism we have to fill this vacuum in command judgment. To put this in a simple army metaphor, the Commander-in-Chief seems to have gone AWOL, that is 'absent without leave.' He neither acts nor talks as though he is in charge. Rather, he engages in tit-for-tat games." (Lieutenant General William E. Odom, U.S. Army (Ret.). General Odom has served as Director of the National Security Agency and Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence, the Army's senior intelligence officer.) (Think Progress) * * * * * * * * Do you agree with General Odom, that -- relative to the Iraq War -- Bush has gone AWOL?
