In life, mistakes are made all the time that are easily fixed by first admitting the fault and then taking the right course to correct the problem.  A broken war is not one of those mistakes you can fix by simply admitting that “mistakes were made”. Sometimes things are broken that can’t be fixed — a very hard lesson for many people who are “fixers”.  I liken it to the urge you get to buy more of a falling stock.  Initially, you think its a good investment to lower your dollar cost average, but most financial experts recommend closing the position for a small loss rather than investing in a dead stock for an even worse loss in the long run.  In the same way Bush’s Vietnam cannot be fixed by simply admitting “mistakes were made” and adding more troops.
