Teaching Moment

AITOOW thinks they've got the Left's military strategy? It's back to small footprint. Before Gulf War 2 it was that we should commit as few troops as possible because interaction with the local populace caused acrimony. Then it was that we had too few troops to control the populace and win in Iraq. Then they opposed increased troop levels because of the aforementioned. They didn't reconcile the dichotomy. A surge was implimented and proved effective. Now they say the same thing about Afghanistan. The last administration was distracted by Iraq and didn't commit enough troops. However, with a fresh, observable real time experiment and logic staring them in the face, their solution remains the same - no adequate troop levels. They either prevaricate or don't know what they are doing or want to lose. Nice to see that governance is an entire teaching moment for these rubes.

And do I have to rant on what a meaningless award the Nobel is? Why don't they just let you buy one like they do at Good Housekeeping?
