And that's a good thing. Islamofascists respect power. Here at home, the speach writers seem to be coming up short. Too much PCism for my tastes.
Our guys aren't over there putting down a riot like LA after a Rodney King verdict, they're squashing religious zealots who see the west as infidels worthy of beheading.
I only hope our guys have the numbers and weapons necessary to carry out their mission with the least amount of casualties.
Well according to both GW and Rumsfeld all the theater commanders have to do is ask. Believe me I don't want to see casualties and I was a bit disappointed in how Falujia turned out but it was the ground commander that made the call. Look, this is probably the biggest gamble any American president has ever taken and none of us, even GW at this point, knows the outcome. His plan relies solely on his faith in the Iraqi people and I don't know that I would have that kind of faith in our OWN people nowadays.
