    Like father, like son.

    Bush 41 invaded Somalia just before leaving office, knowing full well that how we got out would be his successor's problem. Bush 43 may have Oedipal issues, but he has also inherited all his father's worst character flaws, notably the viciously vindictive streak, as well as the obsession with proving his own very questionable manhood by posing as a military leader. The one thing that may prevent this from happening is that we're already fighting a losing war on two fronts, and the military knows we can't afford to open a third. But we all know what happens to the career of any military officer who questions the delusions of Bush-Cheney.
