    I'm all for being more practical in warfare, but I prefer the Teddy approach of "walk silently and carry a big stick."

    Teddy was far too much of an interventionist for my tastes, but the concept of rarely but ruthlessly getting involved is appealing.

    People tend to respect the sleeping giant more than the continual busybody.

    No the U.S. has no control over what Turkey does, and I'm certain we don't believe Erdogan's lies. ..I mean he's lying about the American Ambassador and the U.S. non stop. If the Turkish intelligence was involved with the massive arms shipment, then they might have been Russian weapons and the intention might have been a false flag operation. :spin:

    Have you read Shelley's Frankenstein to the very end?

    Why don't you try to explain it without an analogy to a fiction novel.

    Because it's extremely pertinent. The thing with United States foreign policy is that successive administrations rarely learn from the errors of history. Sadly, the US government (and my government too incidentally) continue with the inherently flawed and counterproductive "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" approach to international relations in which a betrayed Frankenstein monster eventually seeks retribution upon it's creator. As one of the US's stated rogue states, plans were long ago put in place to initiate regime change in Syria. Using the precedent of Afghanistan during the 1980s as a template, clearly US strategy (principally with the aid of the House of Saud) has been to utilize AQ elements with the aim of overthrowing the Assad regime. To this end, Wesley Clarke has publicly come clean about US aims. There is no longer an appetite among large sections of the US population for US boots on the ground in Syria which is why Obama is supporting logistically and financially these head-chopping and heart-eating maniacs with the aim of usurping them if and when they come to power. Sadly for the US, and thankfully for the rest of us, things aren't quite going to plan.

    LOLOLOLOL!!!! Wesley Clarke. His 5 yr plan is 8 years past due. After his silly 'the White House called me after 9/11' story, any credibility he ever had was destroyed.

    The underlying foreign policy motives as outlined by the PNAC is the pertinent issue which is publicly available for everybody to see and is in no way contentious... So nice dodge.

    Youve presented no evidence for me to deny.
