The Pentagon Plans for The Long War

#2  "Long war"? No! De-stabilization by Saudi elements and Syria and Iran, have created a security situation that cannot be stablized without forcing regime change in Iran, at least.

In the Reagan era, the invasions of Granada and Panama were kept secret. Rhetoric was kept to a minimum until Reagan - "The Great Communicator" - went on the airwaves and explained it all. Liberals took a vacation for the next few days.

Bush will shift gear if he has to. As Governor of Texas, he deferred to juries on capital punishment issues. But, when faced with literally hundreds of abuses of process in the John Henry Lucas case, he stayed execution. Iran has had 5 post-9-11 years of pardon; now its time to execute.

GWB said he was reading Camus' "The Plague," which poses existential questions. To be or not to be an Ayatollah.

#1  Finally! For several years, the US has had a double Command in Iraq. A Lieutenant General as the Iraq National Commander, and a General (4-star) as the Regional Commander, in a proto-Command structure similar to the other Commands, like CENTCOM.

The big question now is, "Will Iraq be the HQ for the 'Africa' Command?" If it is, then the Africa Command will also include the ME, and all associated oceans and seas in the regions.
