What is the strategy to ensure that Syria does not become another Libya or a destabilized mess and far more dangerous place with a power vacuum left by Assad assuming room temp?
You have to understand that many Americans are antsy about the future as we have seen bungle after bungle for so many years.
I do hope that those who have for so long not taken the US seriously now have a warier eye and some trepidation as to what the president may do if they decide to rattle their sabres.
I don’t know. I don’t think it mattered. We were likely at a point where SOME statement had to be made.
For ex., did we REALLY need to go into Grenada? Heck know. What “vital national interest” was at stake at the stupid little island? Some students, who would have been shipped home.
That was Reagan telling Adropov & Breznev, “You think we’re back in Vietnam?”
