<<As for the recommendations of the ISG, ... Creating the perception of a unitied political front regarding US foreign policy in the region will go damn far, IMO, ...>>
... wrong, because the unified front will be a call to pull out, decamp, renege, spin, look honorable, and leave a humanitarian mess that the usa is singularly responsible for setting off
... the officialdom will fail even at that simple task, because as the pull out starts, so will the debacle, engulfing the gulf, thus requiring 'going big' or 'staying long'
you still do not see that intervention in the absolute absence of genuine knowledge is just plain dumb
you will
<<negating the threat from Iran and convincing the warring parties that they had better face a compromise if they want the coalition forces to leave>>
... you are wrong, again, because enough of the warring parties, if not actually all, wants the usa to stay, and party up
from each factions angle, it is 'the more the merrier' in so far as the number of players go and how they might interact, until one party decides that total victory is at hand as soon as the usa leaves
you are thinking as a normal j6p would, not like a scheming scoundrel who is bent on trouble-making
btw, gold is up, again |
