We have so much in common with the Iranians. We have a shared vision for a grand future with them in charge of petroleum supplies, the pyramids, and we'll finally be rid of all the Jews. <br /><br />Hold on... where have we heard this before?Ignatius Acton Chesterton OCDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222603717128565302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-58382838379457368552015-03-26T09:36:52.301-07:002015-03-26T09:36:52.301-07:00Dennis, a good question, but at least we can prete...Dennis, a good question, but at least we can pretend we're favor of the governments of South Korea, Germany, and Japan.<br /><br />I was curious about Yemen, and found this.<br />http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/26/world/middleeast/al-anad-air-base-houthis-yemen.html Saudi Arabia Leads Air Assault in Yemen<br /><br />It looks like Americans will get a new geography lesson very soon.<br /><br />Winning political fights on the the battlefield is certainly messy.

It is the kind of conflict that's going to drive our policy and our government for the next 20 or 30 or 40 years. We have to prevail and we have to have the stomach for the fight long term."<br /><br />So do we have the stomach for a 40 year occuptation force? I doubt it. If only he had said that in 2003, perhaps we could have saved a few trillion dollars, and Saddam would be our friendly neighborhood bully protecting the world from the other bully.<br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.com
