fractious nothing holds anyway. Essentially the prior administration's approach was to try to provide some counterbalance to really bad stuff, while not interfering enough (or putting enough resources and people at risk) to determine an outcome (since no outcome had the benefit of being the "right" one). Essentially try to let it resolve itself while trying to keep things from being too horrible. It wasn't cowardly and it wasn't stupid. It was a thoughtful response, but it doesn't produce a result you can be proud of either.

your last sentence is very on point. You want this shit taken care of but it's not that easy. - Mel Profit Mar 31, 13:14 1
- Sure. I would too. But the vacuum that is created may be filled by something that is no more palatable and may present more danger to the US. - pmb Mar 31, 13:19
