Marc Ambinder tells us about a new proposal Romney's announcing in Colorado today, as part of his comprehensive plan for Winning the War on Terror. Romney quote:
- I believe America must establish a Special Partnership Force, comprised or Army Special Forces personnel and Intelligence personnel. This force would work hand-in-glove with local host governments. Together, in partnership, they would seek to target and separate terrorists from the local population, and to disrupt and defeat them. They would have the authority to call in all elements of civil assistance and humanitarian aid. And, where they felt it was necessary, theycould call in delta and SEAL resources.
I'm sure there are good ideas in that plan, but I can't stop thinking about puppets and large armaments.
