I hate it when people try to make themselves look bright by suggesting something that is already on the books.
The Dems are still trying to pull this one as well.
I found the article, er...curious. But it did bring out an interesting point. This being a world war demands that we think of it as such. We have to be careful with our resources. Iran is next (in whatever form) and then...
The thing that struck me in the article was the reminder that our strategy must evolve as we move forward and as the enemy becomes clearer to us. Saddam was "an enemy", al qaida is "an enemy," but after Saddam and the insurgents, and after Al Qaida and Ahmadinejad, there will still remain "the real enemy" (as even the President has stated)...the fascist quality of islam.
A poster earlier (and on another thread) wondered aloud if this cartoon flap wasn't a diversion. The same question might apply to Ahmadinejad's outrageous statements.
It is a big mistake to arrogantly assume we know exactly what we are doing in this war and that it is exactly the right thing. It is a big mistake to underestimate the enemy.
This is a very important war...we cannot afford to lose.
