Fighting extremism/ Against policy of disengagement in the Middle
East
An absence of clear policies from the White House makes it impossible for the U.S. to
achieve any sort of victory in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and elsewhere in the region, according
to three former top military officers who oversaw recent wars there.
“[We
need to] come out from our reactive crouch and take a firm, strategic stance in
defense of our values,” retired Marine Gen. Jim Mattis said to Congress Tuesday
morning.
“America
needs a refreshed national security strategy,” he added, saying that
it must look beyond the string of crisis “currently consuming the executive
branch.”
