(10,029 posts)No protracted Afghanistan War. No Iraq war based on a false premise, with subsequent destabilization of the region. No Dept of Homeland Security. And trillions less added to the national debt from waging wars on the national credit card. Trump makes it look so easy with that "tough" question for Putin, and the definitive undisputed answer. So aside from assimilating the content of "My Pet Goat", what was Bush thinking?

Jeff Davis: "Nope."
Pres. Buchanan: ""Sorry, my bad."

Carlo Rizzi: Mike, you got it all wrong.
Michael: Ah, that little farce you played with my sister. You think that would fool a Corleone?
Carlo Rizzi: Mike, I'm innocent. I swear on the kids.

(95,244 posts)Former Defense Secretary Ashton Carter called it a page from the old Soviet-era playbook. When confronted with something wrong, they ask for U.S. intelligence old trick and propose a working group, in this case on cyber, he said. But this is like the guy who robbed your house proposing a working group on burglary.
