"As she points out in her article, if Iraq wants to be a vassal to Iran, let ‘em. Why can’t we pull out and then strike Iran directly when we need to instead of this “proxy war” garbage that is getting our finest killed?

I generally completely agree with your view. Except for Iran. First - they have a bigger population than the rest of the middle east combined. Second - they have nukes. When they get enough of them they FULLY intend to launch against Israel and all major Western cities.

Iran has to be dealt with.

That said - IMO the best way forward for the present is internal destabilization of the regime. Too bad the CIA is a bloated, rotting husk of what it once was.

Iran is routinely OVER-estimated.

Never forget Iraq/Saddam held off Iran in a 10 year stalemate war with no apparent winners.

United Sates finished off Iraq’s military within a week, without using nukes.

Iran has nukes? Israel has 10 times as many nukes and better delivery systems with much more precision.
