We have often cited Grim's comments on the Middle East, not to mention domestic politics. As you will see from his sidebar, Grim is not only an experienced veteran; he is also a deep thinker. (Yes, he actually read all that stuff.)
So when Grim opines, it's worth considering.
My own opinion is that we should do anything we can to keep out of this one. The Secretary of State seems to have that opinion also.
We could not agree more.
(Rubio's position is mildly surprising for an ex-member of the SSCI--a generally pro-war group.)
Anyhow....
... I’m very suspicious of these wars now. I remember Anthony Zinni, general officer of the USMC, expressing his doubts that any US war in his career had been worth the lives spent on it. For years I thought that he was wrong. Watching what was done with the victories in Iraq and Afghanistan, and realizing now that Vietnam was also intentionally thrown away by Congress because it was politically hostile to success, I see that he was right. Our government is too corrupt to deserve sacrifices so costly....
And ours is not the ONLY Government in this big picture which is corrupt.
