My biggest fear as we prepared to go into Iraq the second time was that
we didn't have the balls to run such a place. Mr. Steele certainly
supports that perception.

Readers outside of the US will need one fact about Mr. Steele to
understand the context: he is that rarest of things, a conservative
american black.

Steele has some good points, we no longer seem to be able to put the
necessary effort into winning a war. Maybe it has something to do with
the outcry from the Left at every turn. They whine about everything,
real or imagined, as shown by many posts on this board. They don't
just disagree with policies, they "hate" people who do not share their
liberal beliefs, all the while thinking of themselves as "tolerant".

I don't believe that in WWII the media, Hollywood actors, and many
university professors opposed the administration and the war and
actually "wanted" us to fail, like it seems they do today.
