The “complexity” of Iraq
You would expect and desire a commander in chief, in looking at a situation, to examine military concerns, security concerns, diplomatic concerns, internal political concerns within Iraq, regional ramifications, how you get people to work in concert with one another. It is enormously complex.
--- White House Press Secretary Tony Snow, on the delay of a major Iraq policy announcement, 12 December 2006
Well, yes, it is enormously complex. Actually, I'd expect all of those things of a commander in chief before he gives the order to invade a sovereign nation.
