Wow! Great column by David Allender.

My only problem with the column is that Allender seems to give George Bush a pass in this whole idiotic “rules of engagement” mess. Last time I looked, President Bush was the Commander-in-Chief. If the scumbag ACLU lawyers at JAG are running the war, then it must be with the blessing of President Bush. And that is disgraceful.

It's the "new tone" don'tcha know.

Moqtada al-Sadr is allowed to live lo these three years.

The Rat Brothers of Tehran and Damascus send surrogates to kill our people--yet suffer nothing more than sternly worded diplomatic letters.

The Marines are put in danger in the field, and in jeopardy before the court martial on the basis of evidence and testimony of islamists, i.e., the enemy.

All consistent with the jailing of Ramos and Compean, and the immunizing of Davila-Aldrete the drug smuggler.

This is not, actually, a war; it is more another paper for the Council on Foreign Relations by William Gates and Zbigniew Brzezinski. Iran: Time for a New Approach

Remember, Condoleezza Rice studied under Madeliene Albright's father.

This is not, actually, a war; this is warping the military to serve a vaguely conceived diplomatic wet dream.

What was the prime cause of defeat in Vietnam: the refusal in November 1965 of LBJ to permit the Joint Chiefs to mine Haiphong and bomb Hanoi.

The enemy was able to resupply protected by POTUS. In like fashion, the enemy had sanctuary in any adjacent country protected by POTUS, the traitor congress, the traitor media.

It is a black time when the interests of the enemy are supported by the constrictive rules of engagement of command (up to and including CinC), the traitor party, the traitor media.

Our warriors have no match for capability, courage and ethical conduct.

We are beset by a henpack of Sara Listers. "Marines are too extreme."

It took only several thousand calls in 1997 to rout Sara Lister.

What will it take today.

And you should know your senators and congressmen by heart.
