“OK then, what’s your strategy, FRiend? Anything better than GWB strategy? A DUmbo retreat Strategy?”
I’m making all kinds of friends on this thread.
If we mean to fight a war, then we should fight a war. To pretend that all terrorists that mean the US ill reside solely in Iraq, is not fighting a war.
Given Syria’s nuclear facilities that were dispatched by Israel, wouldn’t we want to invade them? I would.
Given Iran’s nuclear intentions, wouldn’t we want to invade them, too? Probably so.
Given Saudi Arabia’s position funding and supporting terrorism, should they be dealt with one way or another? Yeah, probably so.
If we are truly fighting a war on terror, then we must fight it. If we are not, then we shouldn’t waste our troops and treasure on people, Iraqi’s, that are simply not worth what they are costing us.
You think otherwise?
Read #8, up thread. I spelled it out already.
As to Saudi Arabia, IMO, when the results I pointed out in #8 are achieved they will have to crackdown on any financing or support to terrorists or they’ll be the last supporters of terrorism in front of the whole world. Not being able to deflect accusations “it’s not us, it’s the Iranians” will do the trick.
The reason I’m saying that, the Saudi Royal family knows that bin Laden wants them dead and so, they won’t be blackmailed to help him when he’s all alone.
Seeing what happens to Iran, if it happens, will show the Saudis that we’re not joking. They also know that cutting the oil will invite an invasion supported by Europe and Japan. It’s West’s lifeline and it will be a matter of survival.
