The problem with all of those wider goals is that almost without doubt it drags us into a much larger conflict. You can pick your goals, like stabilizing the Malian government. That's a pretty significant goal in and of itself. Dealing with the Tuaregs is another very significant goal in and of itself. Degrading or incapacitating the Islamists is a very significant goal.
The approach seems to be to attempt to achieve all of those goals, and yet there is no timeline.
My concern is that by having this broader approach, you may miss what some would argue is the most significant goal, which is the containment of the Islamist threat.
