I wont be disappointed, only surprised
we went to UN for sanctions and UN-led approval
didnt happen
we went to NATO for support
didnt happen
we went to Turkey for support
didnt happen
we appealed to Saudis for operational support
didnt happen
we planned for autumn attack
didnt happen
now summer is around the corner

sorry, but this hasnt been planned well
we are proceeding, since backing off shows weakness and would be extremely embarrassing
all the above prelim setbacks add risk to the military action

this has barely begun and you proclaim it is going well

you sound incredibly optimistic before much of anything difficult has been attempted
so far, this has been like spring training in baseball
the games have yet to begin

I root for our troops
I just believe our leaders are inept
I am a pinhead?
you are the one who doesnt even address the above setbacks
maybe you have elsewhere on SI, dunno
are you aware of the implications of any above setback?

why are so many former Military folks warning of troubles?
they are very aware of the snafus so far
