Wombat,
For starters, saying that someone who has spent 20 years in the military is in "self destruct mode" (which I assume is a reference to surrendering the battlefield to the enemy) can be taken as nothing other than a personal insult.
MY dislike of the current President has nothing to do with Iraq, Afghanistan, or any of the other multitude of operations which comprise the global War on Terror. While they have made mistakes, we are fighting a new type of war, a war which the military is not trained for. We're learning as we go, just as we did in WW2. One of our operations manuals dealing with the type of warfare we are currently involved in is in it's third revision since 2003.
My distaste for the administration lies entirely in their inept handling of domestic issues, including (but not limited to) Social Security reform, the prescription drug program, internal administration affairs that they cannot seem to handle in any manner fitting the executive branch, failure to back Sec Def Rumsfeld, mismanaged information warfare, leaks, inability to control congressional pork even WITH a majority, the list is long. There is much going on within the US that I sincerely doubt makes the evening news in Australia.
Disagreement with the administration does not equal surrender.
As to the comments about Homer Simpson, I would advise you and Sparky to look in the mirror.
