Bloomberg: Jerk Bush Wants Law Enforced

Despite the fact that the Solomon Amendment was passed by the US Congress in 1994, this is how Bloomberg opened up its story on the ruling:

"The Bush administration can demand that universities give military recruiters the same campus access as other employers."

This lead-in would have been equally true:

"The latest US Supreme Court decision has now revealed the laxity of the Clinton administration in enforcing a law duly enacted by congress because it didn't like the law."

Further, Bloomberg see the enforcement of the law as a desperate attempt to fill boots for Iraq and Afghanistan.

"The decision boosts the Bush administration as it struggles to maintain recruiting levels to wage wars in Iraq and Afghanistan."

Well, aside from the fact that the recruitment difficulties meme has been discredited, Bloomberg's assertion is ridiculous on its face. If we have to resort to recruiting at Columbia, Yale and Harvard to save the war effort, then the war is lost.
