In any case, even when the public is strongly opposed to the insanity of nearly all wars, or troop buildups, Obama appears to ignore the findings, withdrawing into his "indecision" to account for his confusion, submissiveness, and ignorance, whereas the former Bush administration was defiant in its insistence for death and destruction, in spite of the polls. I fail to see the difference, insofar as the actual outcome is involved.
