Childish games and imaginary secrets are not a substitute for a national security policy. (via MaddowBlog)
What makes the former president’s rhetoric stand out, however, is its familiarity.he knew exactly what to do to “defeat ISIS very quickly.” He added at the time, “I’m not going to tell what you it is. ... I don’t want the enemy to know what I’m doing.” The Republican went on to say, however, that he was aware of “a method of defeating them quickly and effectively and having total victory.”Trump wasn’t alone. In 2008, then-Sen.
What’s more, in 1968, Richard Nixon told voters he had a secret plan to end the war in Vietnam, but he wouldn’t share it before the election. Nixon won, the secret plan didn’t exist in any meaningful way, and the conflict continued.from several years ago, the bottom line hasn’t changed: Childish games and imaginary secrets are not a substitute for a national security policy.
