According to Bush, the Vietnam mistake is that we aren't still there.

Which means he did not even read the Pentagon Papers. Oh. He also forgot to read a memo on his desk entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike America". Funny how Secretary of Treasury Paul O'Neill would spend hours going through a four page memo point by point with George Jr - because George Jr did not read that 4 pages either. Amazing how he need not read because god tells him.

After all, who did he consult before authorizing 'Shock and Awe"? Cheney and god. That was it. George Jr need not read the Pentagon Papers. His grasp comes from higher authorities. Just wondering which is the higher authority - Cheney or god.
