I know I was lied to about Nuclear fission in elementary school(todays news offers that)..later in the years it was explained that President's follow each other in Policy Matters..sounds clear that turning back-is-faulty..

I think in the present tense of popular life-in-high economies we might need some Policy that offers the kind-General Patraeus more authority..at least President Bush has reminded many that the Miltary is in command of war and materials..

Seeing the kind-General seems likely in the arguement..it always happens that way..

then I remember about Roanld Reagan......he offerd the general rule about::Checks & Balances......

Better yet...a two party system might head straight for the News Room or the Lobbyist sweet spot//after the years all pass and were standing here looking back...General Patreaus will seem just Like-General Swartzkoph.
