F, I'm just some guy and I get a lot wrong, but since 9/11 I've been paying hard attention and doing all the assigned readings.
Foreign policy is a big difficult chess game. You know, you wouldn't talk out loud as you were deciding what chess move to make. "Let's see, if I move my rook here, you'll take my queen in two moves..."
And I wouldn't trust this President to describe what he had for breakfast correctly, let alone develop a comprehensive false-but-accurate explanation, including all the head-fakes you need to convince France something is a good idea.
In the end, the right way to decide on this, no matter what the complicated purpose is, is to look at the results. Which are poor, and too expensive in lives and money and worldwide respect.
