Jim Woosley, Former CIA Director, was just on Fox and said the U.S. needs to be hitting Syria with airstrikes. He said Iran perceives us as weak.
In the words of President Bush, See the irony is that what they need to do is get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this s--- and it's over," July 17, 2006
I think Jim Woolsey will get his wish sooner than he thinks.
Then he's got the IQ of a turnip.
Syria's ambassador just said that they want no part of this war, and that their country is available as safe haven for any Americans who need to leave Lebanon. Further, Syria has refused to mobile her Army.
Saudi Arabia just told Hezbollah that "you got yourself into this war, you can get yourself out."
Iran has just called for a ceasefire.
Why?
Because the U.S. Army is on the ground on Syria's and Iran's borders...and we have a wartime President who has already kicked Charles Taylor out of Liberia, forced Libya to surrender their WMD programs, arrested Saddam Hussein, put Taliban leaders into remote, rural Afghan caves, and forced Syria's Army out of Lebanon.
What large elements of our traitorous CIA want would be for the U.S. to fail everywhere, to be overextended and humiliated.
Won't happen.
This war won't spread, and it wouldn't be lost even if it did, for the simple reason that the U.S. will grind into dirt any other nation who got involved.
Sun Tzu would say that this is a good thing. Woolsey is wrong.
We are weak. Not in capability, but in will.
