Some CYA going on………..

If as most of us know, the GOVERNMENT of Iran has been inciting mayhem in Iraq, and our leaders have refused to notice and take effective action against that incitement, then men like Pace are going to have some hard, brutal questions asked of them by history.

And what’s going to be there answer?

They’ve bet the farm on the demonstrably false notion that Shiites can’t help sunni terrorists. And now, with only two years left in this Presidency, they don’t have the time to undo all the damage they’ve wrought through a DELIBERATE misconstruing of the facts, of the lay of the land and of the contours of the strategic landscape.

Professor Ledeen, history will vindicate you.

And it looks like history will damn this administration.

ML:

Don’t be so certain, life is not so simple. I”ve made plenty of mistakes, and hope to make many more. This administration has done several good things, and if it had had a loyal opposition or an honorable press, it most likely would have done many other good, maybe even great, things.

Human history is, above all, the story of human error and accident. Great men, great acts, people who get things right, those are very rare. Don’t forget that.

We’re going to win this thing in the end.

Sure they’ve done some good things, and I’ve supported those efforts.

But the MAIN thing is Tehran’s Manhattan Project.

ALL else pales into insignificance before this existential threat to cities, communities and nations.

In war, it’s important to grasp what is the DECISIVE strategic objective.

Iran’s Manhattan Program, along with the continuance of that regime IS THE ISSUE of paramount importance in this war, and for understanding this war.

You can’t understand events in Lebanon, Iraq, Syria and the West Bank WITHOUT understanding what is going on in Tehran.

Solve the Tehran problem, all else becomes easier to manage, if not completely solve.

FAIL to eradicate the Iranian regime, EVERYTHING ELSE heretofore that’s been accomplished will be undone by them, under a wave of violence, blood, propaganda and satanic hate.

Take the high ground! And on this battlefield, that’s Tehran.

My gut instinct is now leading my conclusions of the Bush administration. I’m sensing weakness, drift, indecision, fear and pusillanimousness.

These are weak, well-meaning men who are looking for the measured response, the calibrated response, the ever so closely calculated response. And their attempts at moderation are taking this great nation, the last, best hope of man on earth, down a highway towards hellfire.

You’re sensing that weakness too, and are hoping that they will rouse themselves at this late hour.

If they haven’t taken on the Iranians by now, with all they’ve known, AND had reason to know, they’re not about to do so now.

I think that Bush has decided to kick this can down the road. Amazing isn’t it. This is the guy that blasted the previous administration for dodging momentous decisions and now he’s dodging just like Slick Willy.

I’m pretty confident that your instincts aren’t leading you astray on this administration either.

You’re sensing what I’m sensing.

And what the Iranians are sensing too.

Recently Bush made a comment that American men under his command will be allowed to defend themselves against Iranians inside Iraq. He made like that was some vast and weighty decision.

Most American men wouldn’t have spent a moments thought on whether their fellow Americans could obliterate Iranians inside Iraq. It’s a matter of simple common sense. But for Bush, for his staff, for Rice, God only knows the number of interoffice memos exchanged on the subject.

Remember those J.R. Ewing for President posters, from the old DALLAS show. J.R. had a cat like, knowing smile on his face, underneath his stetson. Remember that poster.

I wish I had one of those posters now. Somehow I don’t think that J.R. Ewing would have allowed himself to be so played by his enemies, by our enemies, as our Texan President and his staff have allowed themselves to be played by the Iranians.

but if I were the president I’d fire him….

Ditto.

And I think Americans must make up their minds with regards to the Iranian regime involvement in Iraq.

Certainly the president should get rid of General Pacenik and replace him with the reincarnation of General Patton. I also wish he would get rid of the acronym GWOT. It’s smacks of flaccidity and rhymes with squat. How about a more robust acronym, WHAC (War Havoc And Chaos). It is indeed time to WHAC the Islamofascists, don’t you agree, ML? After all, the barbarians are at the gate, and they will soon come soon come crashing through our doors and windows, all the while brandishing their scimitars to saw off our heads and those of our children. We must kill them first, and bombing Iran is simply not enough. If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing right. Everyone knows Ahmadinejad is making those IEDs and nukes in his basement. We therefore need to bomb and invade Iran as well as Syria, but of course the resources we have at hand are inadequate to the task.

So it is now time to do more than just mouth platitudes about supporting our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. We need to JOIN our troops in their struggle. Let’s stop nibbling around the edges of this war and jump in with both feet. An immediate return to the draft is therefore required. All men and women ages 18 to 75 need to be called up. Don’t bore me with objections about 50, 60, and 70 year olds being too old for this fight. After all, 50 is the new 30, and so on. Just think of the thousands of Blowflex-yanking, jogging geezers that could be mobilized. Absolutely no deferments or exceptions, medical or otherwise should be allowed. Those found totally unfit for the rigors of combat can be organized into labor brigades to work in the munitions and weapons plants. Our nation of 300 million people should easily be able to field 30 million or so trained and battle ready combat troops. We won’t have any allies, but who needs a bunch of surrender monkeys anyway?

Of course people will have to be yanked out of their gas guzzling cars and SUVs. Food will have to be rationed , pay cuts taken, and all manufacturing that has not been left to the Chinese will have to be devoted to strict production of military hardware and supplies for our troops. NO MORE SELF INDULGENCE FOLKS, THIS IS WAR! And speaking of the Chicoms, if they or the Ruskis object to our righteous crusade against the Islamofacists, then we shall WHAC them, too. That’s right, just nuke them and let God sort out the mess. We are the world’s only superpower, and we had darn well better start acting like it. If the United States even suspects that some lousy little country might even have the idea of manufacturing a nuke (or giving it to a terrorist), we have the right, indeed we have the duty to WHAC the bejasus out of it at any time and from time to time as we see fit. To Tehran and beyond!
