The question is, can Jesus H. Obama fathom this lesson:

[McNamara] had thought for a long time that the United States could not win the war. In retirement, he listed some of the reasons: a failure to understand the enemy, a failure to see the limits of high-tech weapons, a failure to tell the truth to the American people, and a failure to grasp the nature of the threat of communism.

Substitute the enemy du jour for ‘communism’. Then think about that super-smart guy in the Oval Office and his latest military escalation in Afghanistan. Sound familiar?
