... between the military plans and the politico-wet-dream plans.
Obviously, the military spends its idle days figuring out how it would beat China in an arm wrestle, how best to land marines in Abu Dhabi, or how to storm 24 Sussex Drive before the crack RCMP managed to establish a defensive perimiter.
It's their job, after all.
But these plans were not the military's. This is a political plan for Cold War Style dominance over the middle east hatched by hawkish politicos.
That might be their job too, but I'd prefer they remain unemployed. Or at least lurking in the shadows, rather than calling the shots in the global arena.
