Imagine this hypothetical assessment of the D-Day invasion made in May 1945 with the Western allies on the Elbe after driving all the way from the Normandy beachheads and the Russians in Berlin, with the Nazi regime defeated:
Well, the purpose of D-Day was to provide a secure space, time for the military build up to occur to advance on Berlin. That didn’t happen. Whatever the military success, and progress that may have been made, D-Day didn’t accomplish its goal.
And some of the success of D-Day is that the goodwill of the Nazis-they decided in Berlin when the fighting would end, they negotiated that cessation of hostilities-the Nazis.
Can you imagine such idiocy?
Well, no need to imagine. You see, one of our own leaders has judged the surge in Iraq a success only because the Iranians agreed to retreat.
Which is progress since it means our Left has to admit Iran is fighting us in Iraq.
And perhaps with this massive concesson by Iran without even talking to them, perhaps the world awaits us if we actually plan formal conferences with them!
I guess we now understand the full nuance of giving the gavel to the children.
