Kerry insists that the cat is not a cat: Let's not get into a cat scratch fever

It’s tough to wage a successful war when you won’t admit that you're waging war, won’t clearly identify the enemy and won’t use ground troops.  The last surviving Cambodian War hero, John Francois Kerry, prefers a less brutal euphemism “major counterterrorism operation” to “war.”  Kerry doesn’t want to “get into war fever.”  It’s a BS effort to muddle already addled Lefty Lib brains about what it is we’re doing - at least until after the mid-term elections.  No doubt they will be reminding us that The Empty Suit has a Nobel Peace prize throughout the war – No.  Strike that - operation.  Let’s put this in terms that even the Dopes can understand: When you bomb a sovereign country, say Syria, THAT IS AN ACT OF WAR not an act of “major counterterrorism operation.”

The Empty Suit continues the BS charade from Caligula D.C. swells that we’re not at war with Islam.  After all, according to TES, the “Islamic State” isn’t even Islamic.  That’s good to know.  We all know that just because at least 43 terror organizations around world are using the koran as justification for killing, raping, kidnapping, brutalizing and terrorizing people in every corner of the world in the name of Allah they cannot be construed as “Islamic,” radical Islamists or even jihadist.

I am of the opinion that if it’s important enough to bomb some undefined entity for three or more years from the air it might be important enough to get your army involved in the campaign.  What does it say about the seriousness of the threat if the only commitment we’re willing to make is to kill thousands from 30,000 feet but won’t risk getting our own boots dirty?  That doesn’t mean I’m looking for a fair fight.  I’m not.  I’m looking to get serious about the war.  Surrogates won’t do.  Ask the British about Trenton.  If we’re going to arm the “free Syrian army” and other “moderate Muslim” militias, we’d better get Eric the wad Holder involved.  He’s an expert at running guns that end up killing Americans and our allies.   

I called an exterminator the other day.  I told him I had a small fury animal in my basement.  He said, “A rat?”  No, no, no.  Now let’s not get into a rat fever here.  Let’s just say a small animal with fur that in no way represents what 99% of peace loving rats stand for.  He said, “Look bud if you want me to kill it, it’ll go hell of a lot quicker if tell me what we’re dealing with.”  Kill it?  No.  I just want a major counter operation of some sort.  He said “YGBSM.  These things breed like crazy.  We gotta get in there right away and poison it, trap it and kill it.”  Oh no.  No poison and only live traps.  He said, “Are you nuts buddy?  You won’t tell me what we’re dealing with, and you won’t let me use the most effective tools I have to deal with these things.  You’d better get a big mean cat for your basement.”  So I got a panther.  Now the only thing the panther wants to kill is me.

This thing will blow up TES’s face.  The enemy gets a say in these matters.  He may not sit around waiting to be bombed or for us to train up our surrogate ground force.  He may just go on a killing spree that makes Hitler and Stalin look like Mother Theresa.  Then what?

They may strike the homeland with hundreds of “lone wolf” operations or as TES refers to them acts of “work place violence.”  Then what?  They may attack the fragile and vulnerable east cost power grid in the middle of winter.  Then what?  They may do something so off rails and unpredictable that it will leave us as gob smacked as we were after 9-11.  Then what?  Ground troops?

It’s best to enter war violently and whole heartedly using all means available and necessary.  The coming out position in these matters should not be promises to the enemy of what we won’t do.  Even if you have no intentions of doing certain things, the enemy should not be able to take comfort knowing that.

 

Now if I were OJ Boehner, I’d put forth a resolution supporting any and all means to crush ISIS.  I’d make sure that the resolution said all of the things TES and Kerry refuse to say.  It would clearly lay out the nature of the enemy at hand and call it by name - murderous, backward, hateful, vile radical Islamists.  It would demand TES prosecute the “war” fully and with all means necessary and available.  I’d make sure the resolution called for the complete destruction of ISIS and other radical Islamist organizations as necessary.  Get the Dopes and the RATS on record as supporting or opposing such an effort before the mid-term.  We have a right to know.
