BTW the UK signed the same mandate which called for an independant and free Jewish state in Palestine. However nobody who signed the same mandate has been as tough on Israel as the U.S.. Some have been indifferent, but thats neglectful of the issues.
Thats not what the mandate says is it , you are talking about the mandate are you not ?
Or are you talking about the Partition resolution which Britain abstained from and Truman approved despite State Dept objections , his earleir rejection of calls for its creation and his statements that it was a silly idea that would require excessive amounts of US money and military resources for a long time to maintain such a creation .

As soon as the rhetoric for going in began to accumulate. I told a professor I worked with at the time that going in would be a terrible mistake as our goals were defined and even taking into account goals which had not yet been defined. Militarily objectives as facilitated by the strategy were not feasible in our political climate and that of Iraq. They weren't impossible, they just aren't feasible without all the problems we are seeing now. You don't go to war unless you can unleash hell on clearly defined enemies in which defeating them grants you completed objectives. In short if you don't have the moral authority to wage all out war the moral authority to go to war will take more fire than the troops on the ground.
Good , now do you think the same about Iran .
The rhetoric , the objectives and feasability ?
