Iran's diabolical strategy: Get US to quit

Really! Those bastards!

The official said US commanders were bracing for a nationwide, Iranian-orchestrated summer offensive, linking al-Qaida and Sunni insurgents to Tehran's Shia militia allies, that Iran hoped would trigger a political mutiny in Washington and a US retreat.

But don't worry, Bunky, the US has an ingenious plan of its own: Lilly pads! It's another idea from Rummy and his pals, ain't that swell?

One scenario includes a “series of military installations [that] could be maintained around Iraq, with a total of total of 30,000 to 40,000 U.S. troops, for a long period of time — maybe a few decades.”,,,

The Iraq installations would be part of the so-called “lilly pad” strategy that the US military has been developing since 2004. Gen. Pace, along with former Under Secretary for Policy at the Pentagon, Douglas Feith, and former Defense Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, was an architect of the strategy.

And we know how well all their other ideas worked out.
