Agree with you definitely on Bush Sr. - Idiot took his advive from Powell instead of Schwarzkopf and STOPPED the Gulf War BEFORE it was finished!
I knew right then and there that my buddies and/or their sons were going to be heading back in a little while.
When you go to war, go with the commitment to FINISH it otherwise you will be back in a generation or less - examples: WW1 ended in chaos and then here comes WW2 - Korean War has NEVER ended and now the 3rd Generation Psycho has nukes!
The Romans Learned the hard way, but they learned- 3rd Punic War was the LAST Punic War.
War is a Failure of Politicians-Once Declared, they need to get out of the way and let the military do its job.
