Needs to be done. It will be seen as election grandstanding if he does it but it still needs to be done. If he fails to get the baddies that will rightfully be laid at O and Hillary’s feet. Its already an issue, rightfully so, that the ambassador was sent to his death without security, and its an issue that we were supporting the people who ultimately murdered him. Leaving his murder unanswered is unthinkable election or no. November can’t come soon enough for me.

I love drones and our military in the air and on the ground. They are great killing machines. However, AlQueda is not a person or a small group. It is a concept of war and Jihad. You can kill it leaders and new leaders will spring from the ground like weeds in the spring. Weeds do not grow if the ground and rain and nutrients are not there for them to use and grow.

The way to defeat AlQueda and the Taliban is to remove the source of sustenance and shelter. The countries, individuals and institutions that give aid and shelter to these organizations are the fertile ground, rain and nutrients of these terrorists.

Killing the terrostists is good, but will not end the terror. Killing the terrorists and destroying their fertile ground will stop the problem.

This is not an easy task. One must be prepared to kill, destroy and wreck havoc on those that commit terror and those that sponsor it with aid, comfort, finance and a safe haven. At the same time we must welcome and aid those in belligerent countries that do not support the belligerent acts against us.

I think it was Freeper River Rat that said, "if you are not willing to kill your enemy and all that stand with him, surrender for he has already defeated you." River Rat describes the reality of conflict. It is not pretty.
