The effects over the next ten years combined with a robust state dept effort could result in a decent resolution.MikeFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755035051021414780.post-36711873162459110192010-06-11T00:09:57.195-04:002010-06-11T00:09:57.195-04:00Mike, a couple people actually did talk about the ...Mike, a couple people actually did talk about the importance of FID,and suggested that it was the likely future of engagement in other nations. I believe it was during the "Obama's Engagement Strategy" panel, though I'm hard-pressed to recall who specifically it was.

I'm sure it will be an impressive event. <br /><br />If you have the chance, then you can voice my thoughts on the need to turn the military function of small wars back over to SF and concentrate on FID. I'm not adverse to Dr. Nagl's Advisory Corps to compliment that approach as long as it remains a dual track like maneuver and FAO used to be.MikeFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755035051021414780.post-77280453444459325412010-06-10T12:12:16.093-04:002010-06-10T12:12:16.093-04:00Well, I for one don't plan on stroking anyone ...Well, I for one don't plan on stroking anyone off or swooning over anyone's intellect.
