'The Decider' doesn't like hearing bad news about Iraq

DRAPER: Well, he didn’t create conditions where the truth could come out. He would have these secure video teleconferences with the generals, and he would ask a series of questions, but it wasn’t really an honest line of questioning. He would say “can we win, are we winning, what happens if we lose, do you have everything you need?” Military commanders aren’t loathe to say, very easily at least, “we really need a lot of help here Mr. President,” and when he creates a conversation like that, it’s not likely to come out.

Guess it's pure luck that The Decider, based on the intel he was ignoring, randomly "guessed" a surge would work.

Mysteriously, before the surge ever mobilized, Dems were already proclaiming it a failure, which is true, because in today's media there's only The Unbiased Truth(tm) and those meanies at Fox News.

Don't you think that if a "surge" was the right idea and is "working"... Shouldn't someone be put in jail or held criminal negligent? I mean since day 0, the Generals have been calling for more troops. From before we invaded, since shock & awe, since mission accomplished.. Every General called for more troops, and Bush instead replaced them when he didn't like what they said. (Do some googling if you are going to be retarded enough to dispute this fact)

So, instead we wait four and a half years or so, and then send in more troops? WTF?! Four years of death and mayhem and no electricity or gas or kerosene in a country that has some of the largest pools of light crude just under the surface?!! Are you kidding?

And since WHEN has the Decider once used Intel? Cite one single source where he was given non-cooked intel and used it. Hey has madeup, fabricated or cherry-picked the "facts" and intel for almost every major decision.

Ok, that was if the "surge" was even a good idea or "working". Which if you think more dead people, more dead soldier and more violence is working, then you are right QM (you coward of a chickenhawk), mission accomplished. (QM is most likely of age to enlist, so let's hope he does soon)
