7. Yes, I admired him when he said (before GWB) that our
military strategy for any action (non-negotiable) must include:

1. A specific, well-defined mission/objective
2. Application of "overwhelming force"
3. Clearly defined "exit strategy"

He based this on lessons learned from US experience in Vietnam.

Well, he's now violated every one of those three.

So, since he's pretty much a sycophant and all-around failure, yes I'm very disappointed with him and wish he would leave his position. His presence is just enabling Bush to get away with a lot.
