What's The Point?
A friend forwarded me a copy of The Washington Post article from February 24, 2005 that details how the Department of Defense is trying to get the Department of State out of the way in inserting personnel into foreign countries. The Pentagon doesn't want to have to ask permission of or notify the ambassador in a country before inserting Special Forces. It makes me wonder why we even have a State Department anymore.
Shouldn't all of our foreign relations be handled by strictly military personnel for at least the next four years?
It seems like it would save a lot of money if we just shut down all our embassies, and the entire State department took a four year vacation. It wouldn't be enough money to not operate at a defecit, but I guess that is asking a bit much.
