...Russians have adopted this strategy. In order to maintain popularity, they must minimize Russian troop casualties. It is easy to condemn this strategy and its real and atrocious human cost, but it is not unlike American justification for the use of the atomic bomb on Japanese cities during WWII.

Still, Bush's electoral analysis is right on - that's why he also took a moment to flog Donald Trump for the Reform nod, and bash Buchanan's "revisionist history about WWII" for good measure.
