More on the "shaped charges from Iran" PING
Plastisheet?
Thanks for the ping. I am sure that we are drawing up plans to deal with this and we won't know about it till after it has begun'
Does not encourage me much, though, because Devenny's analysis comes to this:
What is to be done? Many in the U.S. government seem to be inclined to do little or nothing. After all, they point out, our military is overextended, our allies would never support such action, and Iran has numerous cards to play in order to counteract a hypothetical military response . . . If Iran is indeed actively participating in the deaths of American soldiers, as seems to be the case, it is a clear act of war. It should be treated as such.
Last night during a rebroadcast of O'Reilly's radio show, I heard stand-in host John Gibson make the almost off-hand comment that America increasingly was becoming an anti-war country. When someone like Gibson says it, even if he's wrong, time has come to worry about the rot of the left spreading to and infecting the Heartland.
Perhaps we could start by reminding the Heartland what Kennedy wrote in Why England Slept:
The feeling [in England] was very similar to that in the United States during 1937 and 1938 when most of our opposition to Nazism was based on its injustices to its own people rather than on any potential menace which it might be to us. Like England's, ours was a detached criticism of a form of government, rather than a realistic grasp of the implications of that form of government on the welfare of the world. And this is not the sort of feeling that calls for building up armaments for defense, but rather for speeches pointing out how fortunate we are not living in Germany. This was the great advantage Hitler had over England. He could build his war machine and plan to have it ready to strike in a definite period of time. (copied from We Shall Not Sleep.)
