...but the war will continue.
If the Left is successful, and is able to initiate a unilateral temporary cease fire, the Islamists will just use the time to re-arm before the next round of the war. This will make the war longer, of course. I figure 100 years, give or take 50, with the intermittent breaks that will occur when the US electorate gets weary of war.
What a luxury...to be able to delude ourselves that we can just decide that we are weary of fighting people, and that therefore the war is over. Our enemies never tire of wanting to kill our children, so deciding to pause the war is really just a decisions to allow the Islamists to re-arm.
If we committed to this 100%, we might be able to end this war in a fraction of the time. But, we won't. Half the nation already wants to pause to allow Iran to re-arm.
