@steve:

Those guys worked for FDR – despite his record on social and economic “justice” – he had a massive lack of concern for political correctness and no apparent tolerance for vacillation when it came to winning a war. Seems like a common thread with Lincoln, now that I think of it.

Hey, what happened to all those fawning, misty-eyed MSM comparisons of Obama, Lincoln and FDR? I haven’t seen any lately, have you?

I guess we’ll know if Obama still buys it when he starts loading GITMO with Arabs, including Americans of Arab descent, after removing them from their homes in the US and if he suspends the writ of habeus corpus.

One other comment on the faded-away generals front: I hear that some Dems are calling McChrystal, “MacArthur”. Clueless. At least they can’t call him McClellan but if they did, I would enjoy the irony.

McArthur, Patton, LeMay, Puller, Halsey and many more didn’t lose much sleep over being politically correct; but, the enemy was scared of them and what they were going to do next; thanks to the Liberals we can’t have these killers of the enemy leading our armed forces and our enemies are so grateful.

Our leaders must conduct their missions with a Liberal garrote around their necks, while they fight an enemy with no integrity or honor.

Why not just bomb the place with peyote cactus seeds? Then, instead of mesquite, they’ll get mescaline. They’ll be so dopey they won’t care about atomic bombs. Just a thought.

Heck, mesquite grows all over Texas , thoughout the Southwest and Mexico as well. We’ve got spots as arid as Iran and they’ve been trying to eradicate it for decades. The best thing that ever happened is when they discovered it made a dandy alternative to hickory for smoking Bar B Que and they’ve still got too much of it.

Ahhh, but will mesquite grow in their climate? Just curious.

ABC is way overstepping the information. There are quite a few countries with deeply buried military bunkers that we may need to take out some day. Since the Israeli attack on Osirak, the first and second gulf wars every well funded military took notice. Smart bombs means nothing on or near ground level is safe from shock and awe. Or a single hit. I reference “Global Strike” the kinetic non explosive warheads requested for nuclear submarine missile boats. Even smallish countries have command bunkers. Venezuela. Or China, North Korea, Russia, of course Iran but its years to put this bomb on a B-2. Now they launch it from a cargo plane. Not exactly stealthy… We can not count on fighting tenth century tech all the time!

I say bomb ‘em with mesquite seeds. They’ll be so busy the next thousand years trying to dig up the floral equivilent of herpes they won’t have time to think about Israel, enriched uranium, the Great Satan USA or anything else that might trouble their little knobby heads
