In the debate, Sen. John McCain said Sen. Barack Obama doesn't understand the difference between strategy and tactics. But McCain speaks as a military man, not as a president.The president must think at the highest strategic level. He decides whether to invade a country not at war with us. The strategies then developed by the military are tactics to a president.This war, which has been characterized as one of our greatest strategic blunders, will cost over $1 trillion. This money could have paid for our problems with Social Security, and Medicare, and alternative fuel programs, and our crumbling infrastructure of highways and bridges, combined. It is lost to us forever. It has made us a poorer nation.We need someone in the White House who can think strategically. We can't afford another hip-shooter.Hendrik van DorstenApex
