I hear what you’re saying.
My concern is that this is what UBL wants. Draw us into a pit of quicksand where any “success” becomes pyrrhic due to resource, treasure, and moral costs. He has explicitly stated this, Afghanistan was the original aim, but Iraq has instead become it. Even Gen. Petraeus has stated that there is no military solution to Iraq.
UBL’s goal to is cause our internal decay and collapse from the cascading effects of our response. We are in a dire financial position. The dollar is on the verge of tanking, massive amounts of mortgage foreclosures are just a shot away, and energy cost and dependency will be doing nothing but increasing for years. I think any direct confrontation of Iran would be the tipping point of our nation’s implosion.
What would Fabius Maximus do?
