Or, as in this case the NYTimes. This article is meant to do one thing only, place the military of Isreal and the US in a negative light, while boosting the vision of Hez. Woodshed way past due.

Note the article ignores the heroic efforts of Rumsfeld who has completely changed the structure of the US armed forces. The Pentagon is way ahead of these lunatics. We fought precisely the same war in Japan against kamikaze tactics. The small, independent US military force is in play in Iraq, Afghanistan and as black ops in Iraq, Iran and elsewhere.
Rice and Bolton are putting in place a new style of diplomacy. For the first time in decades they are adding teeth to our diplomacy. No more is the state dept merely a source of endless chatter.
For all the NYT hysteria we lack only the political will to succeed. We have the military and the diplomatic skill. It is the lunatics on the left that can sink us with their naive ignorance, not the mainstream of America.
