Wonderful piece. Wonderful.
"our flanks" Iraq and Afghanistan. Exactly.
Thanks CB. By the way...speaking of protecting our flanks, there is a great map somewhere around here that shows all the US military outposts in the ME. When you see this map, you can almost understand why Iran is in a frenzy. Not only are they covered in the East and West by Afghanstan and Iraq, they are slowly being surrounded from the North and South. I wish someone could help find that map?
