The "cluster-f**k" you speak of was the Liberal-Democrats that ran that "stupid" war.
LBJ, Macnamara, Rusk, etc., ad nauseum, should all have been imprisoned for their atrocities against the people/Armed Foces of the US.
If Gore cheats his way to the Presidency, you can expect more of the same "cluster-f**k" management of the US Military.
