Sounds about right; they have to stay on the offensive in Iraq, Iran, NK, UN, etc. and we need to cover their back as best we can against the fifth column.
I should think the administration has the smarts to do both. It's not like trying to rub your head and pat your tummy at the same time.
All indications are the Administration has the smarts and the means, but not the will.
We peons have the will AND the smarts, but not the means that the Administration has (if it would chose to get out of the fetal position and use it).
