I agree with many things you said, but I do not think this is a war that can be "won" in the way perhaps WW1 and 11 were. Terrorism is an entirely different war and it will continue until the enemies give up. Since their religious belief doesn't allow that, it won't stop.. What we must do is fight back with all we have every place they are found. Thanks to the left, the nation may not have the will. Another attack or two, then perhaps they will all catch on.
Yeah I agree, this is no conventional war, it must be run by textbook anti-terrorism operations, and winning the hearts and minds of moderate Muslims.
The left don't have the steel to support the war, which logically they would figure out is right, because they loathe the president. He is a Republican, Christian, pro-life, pro-Capitalist leader who isn't afraid to commit to his decisions, essentially, the left wing's worst nightmare.
I supported Clinton's intervention in Somalia and Haiti, but when he was stupid enough to withdraw prematurely from both I lost faith in him.
