Another Interventionist "Success" Story by Jacob G. Hornberger

Not surprisingly, the interventionists are blaming their latest interventionist fiasco, this one in Syria, on President Trump.

No, they say, the responsibility does not fall on them and their morally bankrupt philosophy. The fault for their interventionist fiascos always lies with others.

If only President Trump had not betrayed the Kurds. If only he had kept those 50 United States troops who were serving as a sacrificial tripwire to prevent war between Turkey and the Kurds there for the next 30 years. If only he had sent tens of thousands of more United States troops into Syria for a regime-change operation.

If only, if only, if only, the interventionists could finally have had a foreign intervention success story.

But now that President Trump has acted "precipitously" by moving those 50 troops and announcing a withdrawal of the 1,000 United States troops in the country, he has eliminated any chance of an interventionist success story.

It is all his fault for the latest failure and fiasco.

Of course, we heard this interventionist tripe after the fiasco in Vietnam.

If only those antiwar protestors had not been having those massive demonstrations.

If only the military was not required to fight with one hand tied behind its back.

If only the civilian sector had not interfered with the war effort.

If only we had nuked Hanoi and the rest of North Vietnam.

If only, if only, if only, United States troops could still be fighting, killing, dying, and destroying in Vietnam today.

Make no mistake about it.

Despite their latest fiasco in Syria, the interventionists are not about to give up.

Their first interventionist success story is always just around the corner. Iran. Venezuela. Korea. Maybe even possibly back to Vietnam. Hope springs eternal for interventionists.

They simply will not give up their dream of their first interventionist success story and are willing to wreak and incur any amount of death, suffering, destruction, spending, debt, and loss of liberty in the attempt to achieve it.
