The Lessons of Mr. Polk's War
By Jeffrey Mankoff
Mr. Mankoff is a writer for the History News Service and a doctoral student in history and security studies at Yale.
An American president, using politicized intelligence, launches a war on specious pretexts. American forces occupy the enemy capital but cannot impose a political settlement or extricate themselves from an increasingly expensive and unpopular war. Meanwhile, on the home front, partisan and sectional rancor increase.
Truth Justice and

Damn. The primitives never get over anything.

Clearly these were the harbingers of Bush staging 9/11 and manufacturing a war in Iraq. ANY fool can see that!
You were warned, Frank. You were warned.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought James Polk was a Democrat.

James Knox Polk (November 2, 1795 – June 15, 1849) was the eleventh President of the United States, serving from March 4, 1845 to March 4, 1849. Polk was born in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, but mostly lived in and represented the state of Tennessee. A Democrat, Polk served as Speaker of the House (1835–1839) and Governor of Tennessee (1839–1841) prior to becoming president.
