This is not why I "adore" the President, as you should very well know, but never do know, tw. It is your perpetual, oft-demonstrated inability to get these things right that persuades me you're none too bright -- in political matters at any rate. Nonetheless, valiant in your ignorance, you go on until you go down in flames, never learning the least lesson. Are you then a booby or a target drone?

Nixon was regarded in 1968 as being a strong man on foreign policy. A good man at foreign policy is what's wanted in a state of war, Congressionally declared or not. He quite upheld his reputation there.

You'll recall the Democratic candidate was George McGovern. That George had nothing (theoretically anyway -- I was seventeen at the time he was running) to offer me that would make me, and as it turned out forty-nine of the fifty states, want him in the Oval Office. That looks like history's vindication to me.

That's right. Massacre another 30,000 American soldiers in Nam so that a war is not lost on his watch. Send 20,000 more to Iraq (woefully too few) so that "Mission Accomplished" (and Afghanistan) is not lost until after 2008. These are presidents that Urbane Guerrilla admires.

Nothing? He didn't want to send you into a pointless war.
