So yeah, when the opposed of a hard line is a stupid line, then there is "There is no line like a hard-line.


It what happens when Old Boy DC trys to micromanage a war from DC.

Some where the ghost of LBJ is laughing his ass off watching a bunch of chicken hearted Congress critters and 10 DC Lawyers trying to micromanage their war from DC the same way he screwed up Vietnam from DC.

NEXT time you have a "Study Group" actually have people who KNOW the issue and the region rather then hire has been political machine types who can be relied upon to simply recreate what the Editorial position of the Washington Post and the NY Times is.

I read the entire "proposal" in two sittings, from front to back. I honestly couldn't believe some of things I was reading. We could put forth a much better proposal, in about a tenth of the time. The blatant hypocrisy and outright wishful thinking of these so called "academics" is glaringly obvious to anyone with even an ounce of reasoning power. Bank on this though, it will be touted in January by the new Dem Congress left and right, without anyone there even reading it. It will be the new "buzz word". I mean, come on, we're supoose to depend on the despotic regimes of Iran and Syria to help in the building process of a Democratic state. Right. new "Land for peace" deals in Israel? yeah, that's worked well in the past (not). I have a headache.
