A Real Military Posture

Governor Chet Culver of Iowa asks an important question in this article, "While the overwhelmingly majority of Americans want to bring the troops home, the question is what is the plan beyond that?" Everyone in the political game likes to imply there is no option outside of American troops serving at Targets in Iraq and Afghanistan. Is it just Me, or does this sound relatively stupid?"

Here is my immortal Plan for what comes After:

Step 1: Get the Troops out. We got them in these places in a number of Weeks. I am sure We can plan and carry out an exit with like rapidity.
Step 2: Tell all Participants that American Air Power will be used to level the Playing Field in the issue of genocide. Americans may have difficulty with this Notion, but genocide levels with American troops on the Ground is not so low as there would be any difference.
Step 3: Build 3 Operational Task forces consisting of 2 Carriers, Supply, Troop Ships, and Fuel Ships, with adequate Covering Force of Missile Cruisers and Destroyers; each Task Force capable of deploying a Division within 30 Days. The major delay here will be flying Troop Complements in, and Maintenance of stored Weapons systems onboard.
Step 4: Establish Mission Goal Orientation to a maximum Operational Incursion of American Forces of 90 Day duration. Withdrawal will come at end of this Period, whether Mission Goals have been accomplished or not.
Step 5: Establish the Policy that multiple Incursions of Short Duration are much preferable to any lengthy Period of Occupation. It is only a simple Statement that it is easier to blow Things to hell, than it is to rebuild economic infrastructure. The basic Policy to be outlined to the World at large states We will utilize blocking procedures to undercut foreign attempts to injure the United States, or its National Interests. This should be coupled with Statement that We will pay absolutely no War Reparations; if We have to destroy a Nation’s infrastructure to protect American lives and Property, We will not help that Nation to rebuild the potential to again attack the United States.

Do I seem like some cruel, inhuman type Person? I hope I seem so to Terrorists intent on destroying American lives, Property, or Society. Americans must learn that We cannot take care of the World, and the World must learn that We will not waste Money on such a fool venture. lgl
