I was ruminating on Pukin' Dog's post a few articles down. One part of it was getting on to folks like me who dare to criticize the Commander in Chief while the Democrats run amok in full-out traitor mode. I criticize him because he's been flirting with half-measures and not allowing our people to finish the job. Our President is behaving more like a politician than the Commando in Chief these times call for.

He won't even call the war for what it is and has yet to even look sideways at the ones who have financed most of the horror: Saudi Arabia. If he wants to realign the political landscape in the Middle East he needs to take down the bullies on the block. Not doing so is a half-measure.

He knows full well that the vanished WMDs that the liberals won’t shut up about are in Syria. That country has absolutely nothing to offer the world but Islamic repression. Not making them toe the line is a half-measure.

Last year in Afghanistan our generals asked for permission to destroy the poppy fields that were ready for harvesting. They were told that destroying the opium wasn’t part of their mission and doing so would upset the Afghanis who depend on it. Half-measure.

Now our people must tiptoe around mosques while taking fire from them. They must forsake tactical advantages to spare the sensibilities of fanatics. They were forced to stop their successful assault on the last bastion of Saddam worshippers. Half-measures.

Now we’re treated to this outrage against western civilization perpetrated by a group the Democrats maintained had no presence or influence in Iraq. This butchery was committed in the hope of aggravating the conflict between the Moslem factions and to set back our efforts to establish secular government. Why were these creatures able to pull of such a heinous act? Money from Saudi Arabia, training in countries like Syria, leadership from Afghanistan and safe harbor in Iraq.

They were able to do it because of half-measures.

The Jews say “Never forget” for unquestionable reason. We should look back thirty years and say “Never again”. Win or get off the pot. No half measures.
