Bruce Catton once explained that one of the most trying moments US Grant ever faced as CinC of the Union Army was when he had his army cross the James River. He knew full well that the R. E. Lee of early April 1865 would have had a field day of havoc during this effort. He knew that Lee was a man of instant recognition and blistering speed. He also reckoned that, after two months of constant battle, Lee would not be able to put his plans in motion even when he knew full well what needed to be done. Grant figured to perfection.
Anyone who thinks Al Qaeda is as strong today as in 2001, or even 2006, is an idiot. Anyone who thinks now is the time to remove the pressure is a dangerous idiot. Anyone who thinks now is the time and has the power to remove the pressure is a frightening dangerous idiot.
Your post is spot on. Too bad the Dems and MSM don't care about the consequences of their actions.
All they care about is getting their power back.
