West Asia and the New President: More of the Same Won't Do

Mike, one of our frequent callers on Car Concerns, sent me the following link.

It's a speech by a retired Ambassador from our Foreign Service and it oozes intelligence, common sense, and reality.

Those of you schooled in the operational arts will pick up on his noting of our violations of the Principles of War, such as Objective, Maneuver and Simplicity, as well as what Lidell Hart called the Indirect Approach.

It's a bit long, but worth your time.
