I'm not talking about standing back and merely assessing risk, but the assessment of risk in relation to cost - the expected value of the venture. It's not cowardice to refrain from action when that action will certainly make things worse.
leave them guessing
Didn't say that numbnuts,as is pretty clear to anyone with a decent grounding in the English language.
Well sweetie those are the countries we have been occupying for 50 years.......
No point in setting a timetable. They can leave when there is a stable and secure Iraq.
I vaugly remember hearing as I was growing up "Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor"
Yes but what is Valor in your opinion? If we merely watch as a man is being beaten to death by 5 people and we (as in 2) see that it is a risk to attack them, yet may save the mans life what would you do? The Iraqi's need our help. They need a better infastructure schools hospitals ect. We need to help others even if the cost is higher than if we would have done nothing at all.
What makes you think they planned for one at all, perhaps they planned not to have one.
