Current Events » in reply to For Davin: another opinion on the effect of our troops being tied up in Iraq

Browsed it

Wasn't really impressed, but I'll give it a full read after work. My first opinion was that it was a hand wave predicated on naieve assessments about what N. Korea and Iran have been doing over the last 1.75 years, what the Libyan development means, and a slightly outrageous comparison between the Iraq situation and the Afghanistan situation. It seemed to be pretty anemic on actually looking at what Iran has been doing since we 'pulled the trigger' in Iraq.

It put a lot of stock in argument by historical analogy- which while is not necessarily wrong, isn't very convincing for me personally.

HOWEVER, I have obvious bias, so I'll churn through it again tonight, in detail, and post- since you went forth and found. Promise.
