Friday, November 19, 2004That's from Fox News. So, once again the international community sees a menace that may have or get WMDs. What to do? Well, I see the Iraqis are taking an increased role in Fallujah and in their own security. Is it time for Iraq to become a base of operations, however tenuous, as opposed to the center of the action? Glad I'm not in charge of making the call, particularly since no matter which call is made the media will be on the air five minutes after any action or decision to explain why it's all wrong, represents a blown opportunity and has unnecessarily imperiled a generation. Is Osirak an option? Read an article by Fallows in the latest Atlantic where they wargamed a very similar situation. The conclusion was to sit on the hands and whistle past the graveyard, though most of the authentic national security experts on the panel hit their highs during the Clinton years, when hand sitting and graveyard whistling were specialties.
