    It’s almost like a replay of WWI. The job was left 1/2 done and had to be replayed two decdes later. I hope that doesn’t happen again but more and more it looks like we will make the same mistakes again. :(

    Key point being that we’re fighting tihs war slowly since the enemy want’s us to fight it quickly and thus get overextended. I think TM Lutas may have a good argument.

    … it should be clear that unless we put the plug the holes in the dike, specifically the flow of the support terrorists and insurgents by Iran and Syria, we’re doing little more than treading water.
