libertango...you know, the boys haven't had a live training exercise in an amphibious assault for a loooooooong time.
This goes back to my high school history teacher's reason for why the UK would never fully settle the Northern Ireland dispute. It was too useful to the UK military as a live training exercise.
It should be noted that he himself was an expat Brit.
And besides -- not unlike Iraq, the Administration probably already knows that Syria has no WMD... unlike Iran or North Korea, both of which the Cowardly Lion continues to treat with kid gloves. Wouldn't want our hands to get too messy, y'know.
