Who besides myself are annoyed with these armchair generals who presume to know what is the best course of action, who sit in the comfort of their homes and snipe at our President and his advisors, who are working 24/7 on behalf of our country, because they are "not acting quickly enough" to satisfy their desires to watch a TV war on a weekend with no football?
These folks would have the President act in haste, putting not only our troops in danger but the entire operation at risk, just so they can have something exciting to watch on FOX News this weekend.
It took six months of DESERT SHIELD before we had DESERT STORM. It will take some time to build up NOBLE EAGLE before it can become SCREAMING EAGLE. We need to put our troops and materials into position and build up our supply lines before we can conduct an effective campaign. So that means we are probably going to have a boring Sunday afternoon. So if you are bored, go outside and do something. Read a book. Do something. But don't sit here threatening to vote Democrat and demanding that we recklessly sling some bombs around just so you can have your need for immediate gratification sated.
The last guy did that and didn't accomplish anything. The evil has to be rooted out. It is not compatible with western civilization.
Or even better these "Stallone wannabes" can follow my advise and head out for Afghanistan right now with a knife held between their teeth.
In addition, we need to build up supplies/troops/hardware in the region. This action must be carefully planned and executed surgically and precisely. I'm sure it won't take six months, but it does take some time to organize such an effort, I'm sure.
I think we have no choice right now but to have confidence in our leaders. This is not the time for self-appointed defense and foreign policy experts to second guess every breath taken in Washington. It seems this will be a difficult exercise considering that the current administration has apparently inherited a downscaled, underfunded military and a decimated intell program. Have we been caught with our collective pants down? It would seem so. Surely, all of us (excepting the ones wearing rose-colored glasses and "I love the former co-presidents" t-shirts) can be comforted that the current administration is leading this action, instead of the past one.
May G-d Bless America and lead us toward peace from these animals.
REMEMBER PEOPLE! This article was from CNN!!!
DO not let them fracture us!
EVER
EVER!
AGAIN!
AMEN.
But I would change "annoyed with" to "sick to death of." They are complete and utter idiots. I would say to all of them: "If you are not with us, you, too, are against us." You might THINK about stopping your ignorant carping and give a thought to supporting your country. If not now, when?
