#1  "Especially at a historic turning point in our region, we do not want to see another huge tension."

I believe he may have misread the intent of the regional "turning point."

#3 Please note that when they use the expression "catastrophic for the region", and war happens, it *isn't* catastrophic for the region.

I remember they using that expression prior to Gulf War I, and Gulf War II. I think the original Afghanistan invasion was too fast for anyone to say so.

#5 Afghanistan invasion was too fast for anyone to say so.

I seem to recall a lot of breathless rhetoric about "Brutal Afghan Winter" and "MILLIONS WILL DIE!!!!!!".

We know how that turned out.
