Kerry is gung-ho for deploying hundreds of thousands of troops and billions of dollars worth of armaments, to sit in a desert somewhere, so long as they don't actually do anything, at least until "sanctions" (or whatever) have been allowed to work.
Apparently Kerry thinks genocidal, terror sponsoring, warmongering dictators can be swayed by his lugubrious posturing as easily as flocks of disillusioned Deaniacs. But considering that sanctions didn't work after 12 years in Iraq, have lasted 18 years in Libya, and that even the dimmest dictator will easily cotton on to Kerry's "strategy," our armies are apt to spend some long spells in those desert bivouacs. If Kerry should be elected President (God forbid) the Pentagon better stock up on sunblock.
