    It’s GDP isn’t good enough to carry the cost for that for too long.

    Ours may be.

        It would be, but that will never happen

        You sure? Let’s examine domestic politics regarding the war:

        Republicans are in favor of the “plain of uninhabited slag” outcome for its own sake.

        Progressives want the war to end, preferably quickly.

        And centrist Democrats have a few reasons to side with Republicans on this: It doesn’t involve altering the status quo. They get to be seen as bipartisan by doing something Republicans want. And they have a GWB-style “terrorist sympathizer” cudgel to deploy against progressives.

        Way I see it, Netanyahu will have us doing whatever he wants until the cudgel stops working at the earliest, since he can count on having both Republicans and centrist Dems in his corner.

            I was wondering when you’d start with the condescending dismissals.

            Turns out, all I had to do was describe your behavior. Congratulations on your acquisition of a cudgel.

              You described a fantasy hoping I’d bite and waste time. I didn’t. I’d say nice try, but it really wasnt.
