A special assistant to Donald Rumsfeld was upbeat. “We’re going to get better over time,” said Lawrence Di Rita. “We’ve always thought of post-hostilities as a phase” apart from combat, but “the future of war is that these things are going to be much more of a continuum. … We’ll get better as we do it more often.”
Eeeeeee! The US is always scariest when it has a burst of honesty.
It’s competition time! The question is, who’s next? Syria, North Korea, or Iran? Personally I wouldn’t rule out Venezuela. Perhaps somewhere on Africa’s oil rich west coast?
I don’t think it’ll be North Korea. Not if they’ve succeeded in convincing the Pentagon they actually DO have weapons of mass destruction. And it’d really annoy China. The noises coming out of the administration regarding Iran’s nuclear program could certainly be laying down some sort of foundation for operation “Iranian Freedom”.
