As I See It...
I wanted to title this "Flawed Policy" maybe a better term would be "Troubled Policy".
As long as bin linden is alive in either Afghanistan or Pakistan.
He's to the Arabs, what the Ho Chi Minh trail was to the communist Vietnamese,
A beacon that our technology can be overcome.
Reading the "General's War in the Gulf, Desert Storm" General Colin Powell U. S Army,
Said he wanted nothing to do with Post-War Iraq.
Failure to dispose of Saddam led to 13 years of No-Fly, No-Drive zones in parts of Iraq.
After Afghanistan, the push was to take on Iraq because of Weapons of Mass Destruction.
That intelligence might have been flawed.
Now we're caught in another generation, who's demographics has placed them in a war that some are starting to question the wisdom of it all.
The question that should be asked, but has not been asked;
"What was the cause of the Muslims extremeous attacking us on 11 Sept 2001"?
Might they see us as siding with the Israeli's against them.
If so, how do we correct that view?
They have no need or do they want us in the Middle East.
But it was them attacking us on 11 Sept 2001 which led to our response and continued presence there.
How long will we be there?
How do we measure success?
They're slowly bleeding us to death, with the hope that we will tire and pack-up and go home.
During the Vietnam War a Republican President got us out a war started by a Democrat.
Might a Democrat gets out of a war started by a Republican.
One candidate says that there's been an outsourcing of jobs.
His wife is the head of one of those companies.
How does he square that?
A Republican said, "if we elect a Democrat, we will be attack again as we were on their watch.
Now he changed that to say "whoever" is elected we will be attack again.
Whose fault will it be?
As I See It, all of the above are troubling to me...
