Buckey...sorry, but you have either no ability or desire (both likely) to engage your brain in "strategic" thought. CTM is not nor ever will be a member of the GOP. what he does have is an ability to see things PAST the news clips.
I understand the Balkans are a personal issue to you, but when you have to make global implicating decisions, or at the least, think about what courses of action are in the best national interest, "genocide" of someone who is not providing you with something vital to your national interest is rarely a factor. The people who do this work for real, and either recommend or make these decisions understand and accept that. The only reason that dog had a chance to hunt is that there was a mass migration of older senior leadership combined with politically supportive appointments to replace them within the Pentagon. We are still feeling the pain of that, though after 5 years some folks who can at least play well together are getting into the decision process.
