Circular Reasoning on MTP

[truhavoc]

I couldn't help but realize dubyas whole case about his entire presidency is only related to the war in Iraq. I wish he would get called on the fact that he relates his failures back to a war which has been a failure. Attempting to use the war in Iraq as a scapegoat for all his failures thus far. What an interesting technique is this? Dubyas reasoning is something along the lines of "I can't be blamed on the economy because we are at war...but why are we at war, because of the war on terror" He is attempting to stem all of his failures on the one piece of public support he has left, how he handled the aftermath of 9/11. He has yet to realize I believe that he is the president, and his job is to make decisions. Not only is your job to make decisions, but to stand behind those choices, and not use your previous decisions as a scapegoat...they are all still your decisions.

1. When the Cuban invasion failed, JFK said that there would be no

scapegoating, that the failure was his own, pure and simple. What a contrast to this poor man!
