...The American objective was to ‘redefine the mission’ toward more cooperation between military forces and the effort to rebuild the area.”
Redefine the mission? The one we had been assured was already accomplished, way back when? Or this mission, the one to build more “postwar” cooperation, the one that’s not new at all, the one that’s been regularly mismanaged since we accomplished the first mission?
Minus a minor tactical shift here and a subtle strategic move there, the only redefining taking place is in the administration’s propaganda. We are, in reality, staying the same old course.
