3. I like to thrown up the Powell Doctrine

Though it now seems Colin no longer even defends his own doctrine!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powell_Doctrine

Is a vital US interest at stake?
Will we commit sufficient resources to win?
Are the objectives clearly defined?
Will we sustain the commitment?
Is there reasonable expectation that the public and Congress will support the operation?
Have we exhausted our other options?
Exit Strategy?
