If I were Command in Chief, I would pose the following challenge to the U.S. Intelligence apparatus: Find a goat thief in either the whole of Iraq or Afghanistan and bring me the proof that he or she stole a goat because this is going to be the new mission.

I would add, "It isn't sexy, but it is the mission."

I realize this OP mostly likes playing with himself, but the question is right, all the same.

Do a 180 on Assad, stop any aid of any sort to the rebel groups there, and let (help?) him resume control on the Syrian side, with an understanding that he will be losing a chunk of territory to the Kurds at the end of the day.

Arm and aid the Kurds.

Get SF working directly with the Iraqi army, and start grooming the officer who will be staging the coup in Bagdad down the road. He'll also need to be up to speed on the Kurds getting their own state (and oil fields) out of the deal.

All we have to do is reason with them, and promise that we will never do anything to get in their way, then everything will be hunky dory.

I have the perfect solution - send in BenM to preach his brand of religion!!

They'll either go nuts and commit suicide
-OR-
They'll go insane with his inane trolling and behead him.

Either way, it's a win-win situation for all of us.

Now there's someone offering a constructive suggestion on these forums! Who'd-a-thunk it? But then, wouldn't that qualify as crimes against humanity? Might it foment a backlash driving all the (supposed) moderate Muslims into radicalism? Can BenM be such a total foamer that it drives the Muslims to self-immolate en mass? What if Sanity and RealOne went along to do three-part chorus? Will it drive Iran to complete their bomb research? Who really shot J R Ewing, anyway? The black eight goes on the red nine, right?

Gawd! This foreign policy stuff is trickier than it looks, something BenM and his fellow foamers might stop to think about.

If we would just join with them they could teach us the proper way to treat people from different cultures than our own.

It is about who stole the goat.

Are you saying that you wouldn't vote for me if I ran for President?

I wouldn't even vote for you if you wanted to be the local scout leader.

Heck, if you ran for anything higher than a sewer worker or street cleaner, I'd make sure I emigrated and wasn't even in the same country!!

But... I'd put your name up for entry to a nut-house - as an inmate!!

Is it because you don't like the me or my positions? The strategy at the moment appears to be one of appeasement. I was thinking maybe we should put loud speakers on the blimps.
