Waffling & Weakness

I don't know if the Messiah has ever been in a rapidly deteriorating combat situation. The enemy is coming, your forces and supplies are depleted, the outcome looks hopeless and there are prayers for John Wayne and the 7th Cavalry to come riding out of the canyon. If you don't hear the bugle today, you won't see the sun rise tomorrow.

That must be what it feels like in Benghazi.

So check this out:

Bamster Petitions the UN and Hillary Strategizes

I've got two short notes for you, Mr. President.

1.) You are the Commander-in-Chief of the United States military. That's a catchy title, but the essence is that you are the sole determinant of what the US military will or will not do. You don't have to give one of your vacuous orations to the United Nations which frankly doesn't give a large pile of camel dung what you want. You don't have to ask. You simply must find your heuvos and give the order. You don't even have to know too much about what you are talking about. Simply tell the JCS to stop Qaddafi and they will do it.

2.) Hillary is your Secretary of State. She doesn't have a clue about tactics or aircraft or weapons or defense suppression. You don't want to listen to her. Your go-to guy is the SecDef and with him the JCS. They know about stuff like that. If the situation has deteriorated to where Hillary knows more than that bunch about how to apply airpower to a one-camel dictator, then you are even more incompetent than I have been giving you credit for.

We are NOT the subjects of a world government and we are not dependent upon the UN to play a game of Simon Sez before we act.

Mr Rasimus,
A short piece of American 'see it like it is - say it like it is' prose that is music to the ear.

From the news at this point I understand even the UN have been shamed into action!.

Their supplies would be a lot less depleted if it weren't for all the "happy fire".

Ed, you say, "That's a catchy title, but the essence is that you are the sole determinant of what the US military will or will not do."

The sole determinant? Strange, I thought the Constitution mentioned something about the Congress having to approve, bless, nod, wink, or something along those lines before we could engage in military action (what some might call "war" when you're killing foreigners with your military).
