Rooney: Ike had it right

Andy Rooney over at 60 minutes went off on the US involvement in Iraq.

We had a great commander in WWII, Dwight Eisenhower. He became President and on leaving the White House in 1961, he said this: “We must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. …”

Well, Ike was right. That’s just what’s happened.
