Well just because it would be stupid to poke a tiger to prove to the tiger you are serious about stopping his attack, doesn’t mean President Bush won’t try it. From a site that I am finding has a clear eye’d view of the task ahead if we should desire victory. I say if because it is not clear we feel as a people that we deserve to win. Anyways SANE does not play at victory, does not advocate sending signals, does not mislabel Islam as the religion of peace and most of all makes no apologies.
President Bush formally labelled the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps this week as terrorists. This could be the predicate for the Bush administration’s effort to go after the IRGC while claiming not to be targeting Iran. In other words, this could be the Bush version of the Johnson administration’s efforts to pinpoint bomb North Vietnam
You don’t poke tigers. You shoot them with enough of a bullet to kill them because wounded tigers don’t snuggle well.
More from SANE:
If Bush starts playing “tit-for-tat” bombing with the mullahs, he will have taken the first step on the dubious road that Lyndon Johnson took when he started bombing North Vietnam in response to the Gulf of Tonkin incident in August 1964 and later in retaliation for the VC attack on Pleiku in February 1965 that killed 8 GIs. This VC mortaring of Pleiku was the impetus for the launch of US FLAMING DART air attacks. FLAMING DART air attacks then grew into ROLLING THUNDER air attacks. The objective of these air campaigns was to demonstrate to the North Vietnamese we were serious, so they had better scale back their war of aggression against
South Vietnam (which would be the same objective with respect to Iraq in bombing IRGC bases).
Hard to argue with SANE but like I said doing dumb things is right up this Administrations alley. And no I don’t think any Democrat administration with a chance of being running the Netroot gauntlet and be elected would be even half as good as the Bush administration for all of its bumbling.
No, indeed I would expect any Democratic administration to immediately surrender in much the same fashion as the Spaniards and the rest of Europe, save for the Danes and several other formerly Iron Curtain countries, have surrendered to the Islamic Overlords.
Anyways you should read the entire article over at SANE.
