Take good notes because Lebanon is what Iraq will look like wihtin weeks of our pulling out, which we are told will be weeks after Obama takes office. (Not really, he will find some reason to stay...)
Good article! We’re sitting here calmly watching a modern anschluss and nobody even comments on it. The fighting has died down because Hezbollah has now effectively installed itself throughout Lebanon and doesn’t need to do anything more except wait until the time is right to take over. That’s the same reason that Mookie was offering a “truce” in Iraq; his people are in place, and it has dawned on the Iranians that they don’t really have to take over official control of these countries quite yet. The important thing is to place their people and then when something does ignite the serious fighting, they’ll be ready. And we won’t be.
Amen. But who's gonna stop it? We should have taken out Assad's Syria in 2003 when he was cringing. But we can't do everything. A bloody reckoning is coming.
FTA: “Not only are we reluctant to kill those bent on killing us - we don’t even want to offend them.”
That’s the whole ballgame in a nutshell. Political correctness is the cyanide capsule of Western Civilization. And the ironic thing about it is that the left, who created political correctness in the first place as a means of attacking the West, will have their collective head sliced off with all rest of the West by the muzz when the muzz gain control.
