[Louis Foxwell]

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.

...and the only reason there might be a smidgeon of political will lacking, is due to the screaming from the empty carts and the leftist media, both an insignificant M I N O R I T Y. The only thing that will silence the media and leftist noise is fear for their lives, which is not a tactic but a necessity to effectively fight a battle for our survival as a nation. Anyone who believes otherwise, does not understand the left, or it's voice in the media. It has nothing to do with freedom of speech, and everything to do with freedom for mankind and ours has to come first, or the battle is lost.
