Thank you very much for your post. I just posted this on another thread.
A typical result of the Nov. 7 RAT's win and not dealing decisively with Iran / Sadr.
None of our enemies has any fear of or even "respect" for us especially after the change of guard in Congress and the intended cut-and-run policy.
Implementing the "realists" BH study recommendations of conferences, negotiations, and capitulation will embolden our enemies and confirm their perception of our weakness.
One immediate, efficient action is to bomb Iranian military and nuke sites. This will cause Syria to fold, cutting Hizbollah off from its protectors and benifitting Lebanon. Another benefit is conveying an unambiguous message to Russia, China, and the world that we're still the only superpower.
I say immediate because of the impending Russian delivery of a mobile, sophisticated air defense system will cost us planes, casualties or worse, POWs in Iranian hands. Do we believe in the Geneva Convention?
NOT THIS GAL......I AM NO ADVOCATE OF ANY CUT-AND-RUN POLICY!!!
