I did go to the link in 18, that's how I know the guy is full of crap. He says we'll put in permanent military bases and from them force the Mid-East to go our way. To which my reply, which you deftly ignored with condescension and ad hominems was: we have permanent bases in France and Germany, and we didn't use them to force France and Germany to go our way. Clearly this shows that permanent military bases don't do what the author says they do. Let's also keep in mind that your link goes to an opinion piece, not a factual story. I could put out 5000 words on how in my opinion our plan is to cover Iraq in solar cells to truly break the back of the oil lord, that doesn't make it true.

You don't like the guy's opinions? Fine with me. Go to the source and read it yourself.
