Have to break out my salt shaker for Hack on this one. He gets paid to write alarmist stuff. If we wait until our defenses are perfect- we'll never be ready. Every day we spend trying to shore up this city or that port is another day the jihadis have to smuggle in more of the very weapons Hack is talking about.
This is the scene in the scary movie where the kids have got the boogey man down and they drop the gun and start hugging each other. We all sit there and say- "No, shoot him again! He's going to get up!" Well, we need to keep the upper hand with this offense and keep sticking it to the jihadis until they don't get up no more. We need to send "Jason" to hell.
