Everyone Must Read This

I agree word-for-word with every single thought in this article by Fred Kaplan. It is an extremely well-argued piece on the worst single failure of this president, the most galling single indictment of him - his total, baffling failure to enforce his own personal order regarding the disbanding of the Iraqi army. This was a particularly awful failure because it did not involve any difficult decision, any complicated issue, any substantive facts: having already made a crucial presidential decision, when it was publicly reversed he took no action. This is objectively incompetent.
