jamiroguy1 Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Study Published by Army Criticizes War on Terror's ScopeBy Thomas E. RicksWashington Post Staff WriterMonday, January 12, 2004; Page A12A scathing new report published by the Army War College broadly criticizes the Bush administration's handling of the war on terrorism, accusing it of taking a detour into an "unnecessary" war in Iraq and pursuing an "unrealistic" quest against terrorism that may lead to U.S. wars with states that pose no serious threat.The report, by Jeffrey Record, a visiting professor at the Air War College at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama, warns that as a result of those mistakes, the Army is "near the breaking point." It recommends, among other things, scaling back the scope of the "global war on terrorism" and instead focusing on the narrower threat posed by the al Qaeda terrorist network. "The global war on terrorism as currently defined and waged is dangerously indiscriminate and ambitious, and accordingly . . . its parameters should be readjusted," Record writes. Currently, he adds, the anti-terrorism campaign "is strategically unfocused, promises more than it can deliver, and threatens to dissipate U.S. military resources in an endless and hopeless search for absolute security."Full Articlehttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A8435-2004Jan11.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all subject to interpretation. And there are plenty of opinion polls that show job disapproval of bush is low. Google it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go by majority rule, Bush would not be elected because more people in this country voted for Gore (popular vote) but that's a whole other issue.Polls are narrow and don't focus on the whole population.
