Sen. Biden has presidential aspirations and Sen. Lieberman does not. That being said, I offer the following: Any two people given the same set of facts will often come to two very distinct and diverse conclusions, based not only on their personal point of view, but by what benefit they may derive in expressing it. It’s the old adage of the glass being half full or half empty. Given the current administrations lack of credibility, the revelations of intelligence failures and misinformation, poor planning at the onset, and an ambiguous exit strategy, both views bear equal consideration. Lest we forget, over two thousand brave Americans, our children and grandchildren, young husbands and fathers, have given their last full measure of devotion and it is our duty and responsibility, and that of our elected officials, to see that history bears out the merits of their sacrifice. Having served with distinction in Vietnam, in that ‘other’ war that caused such division and resentment in this country, I don’t want to see another generation gathered at a black granite wall in remembrance of those who died for naught. It is my hope, and I believe the hope of most Americans, that we will prevail. That the light of truth will shine through the gathering clouds of doom and, leaving politics, corporate greed and self interest aside, that their sacrifice will not have been in vain. I leave it to history to be the final judge. What should be most obvious to Jimmie, and appears to be overlooked in his comments, is “Politics as Usual”. Sen.
