Frank Gaffney Continued

Even more amazing, though, is when you compare Mr. Gaffney with fellow Reagan Defense Department official, Larry Korb, what these two men derived from their experiences there, etc.. Just look (for example) at the way the two men view American power (military power, specifically). While Gaffney sees it as essentially limitless (i.e., that we can constantly attack/occupy countries, and do it without repercussions), Korb sees it as a double-edged sword, recognizes that the world is a messy place (one in fact that can be made worse by wretched policy - installing the Shah of Iran, for example). Of course, the fact that Korb is also a student of history makes this distinction even sharper. As for Mr. Reagan himself, would he have ever invaded Iraq, allowed a couple hundred thousand American troops to languish in the desert FOR YEARS!? Me - I'm not really thinking so. Neither does Mr. Korb, evidently.
