You're not wrong.
The marines and 82nd were never part of the initial plan - they weren't even plan-b. They're plan " let's jump through our asses."
That's the plan you pull out when your only plan was to spend a billions, assassinate heads of state, smash up everything and count on regime change...again.
At least death-pig Netanyahu is getting the destabilized Mideast he wanted, while America and the rest of the planet gets f'd.
A sure sign you got NeoConned. A war that’s easy to get into but hard to get out of.
It feels a lot line Nothingyahoo did push us into this a lot of days doesn’t it?
After having gamed this they still do not appear to have a plan that can be considered “winning”. Central Command makes plans that I consider tactical and don’t finish them to include an ultimate conclusion with strategic intent. Said another way, their plans are to do exactly what they are told to do, kill people and break things under the orders of the civilian command to continue politics by other means.
A friend and I were discussion the victory over Germany today. The Germans did not exactly welcome us with open arms and crave regime change. They were not necessarily seeking that. Not necessarily, they were not. They were a defeated nation having to submit to the US and fearing they would have to suffer the Russians. Many did.
I see Iran much the same way. 90 million or so people lie between radical and rational at the extremes. On the main tht means they are only about half rational. Not necessarily a nation seeking full rescue from their radical leadership. Notwithstanding their justified fear after tens of thousands have been murdered for protesting they aren’t exactly taking opportunity to do it again for a radiccally changed regime.
I have not seen today’s Trump and cabinet news conference. Did not know about it until minutes ago. I hear it was something to behold.
