Entry: The Pentagon Needs a Choreographer Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_pentagon_needs_a_choreographer#33222 Post contents: "There should be one overriding strategic goal: prevent future terrorist attacks. This is even more important than “revenge” strictly speaking." Well how about this: we acknowledge that they don't belong here, and we don't belong there, and we can content ourselves with trading our dollars for their oil, until it runs out and the place can go back to being a flea-bitten sandpit. I think your basic problem is there's no real substance to dress up anymore. Al Qaida was a militant training camp in the Afghan wilderness consisting of about two thousand Muslim ascetics. The US broke it up. "Al Qaida in Iraq" is a ragtag bunch of Wahhabists who coalesced only when the US set up bases in Iraq. Who's being put on trial in Gitmo? Probably mostly stupid goatherds who got ratted out when they plotted to fire some RPG's in a convoy. People are going to compare that with $4B a month and 4,000 dead soldiers and say WTF?! In short, no amount of lipstick will gussy up this pig. Sent at: 2008 12 02
