Trayvon's War

Now correct me if I’m wrong.  Did I hear Obama say that Trayvon could have been him 35 years ago?  What I didn’t realize was how true it was.  And here 35 years later, Trayvon said “I could just give that guy from Syria an ass-whupping (as Jentil explains it) and what could happen? I mean surely we won’t get into a war with Russia and Iran.  Surely Israel won’t get attacked.  Nothing bad can come of this since we won’t have ‘boots on the ground’”.

            Would I be too audacious to explain that this is how a leader without a plan to win gets into a quagmire?  This was how we were going to ‘teach them a lesson’ in Vietnam and wound up with a fight on our hands.  This is how Sweden was going to just teach Russia a lesson in the 18^th century and wound up losing their empire.  War is hell and very chaotic and often defies prediction.  You only go to war when all other options have expired and a fight to the death is all that remains.  None of this air strike only BS, Barack Stupidity. You had better be ready to commit everything you have. 

            When you look at the military commanders who have become Presidents, they are strong on Defense but cautious about going to war.  If you lose face and drop in the polls by some statement you have made, that is nothing compared to losing thousands of men in a futile war.  Fight only when it is the last resort. 

            Obluster has no plan to win.  He just wants a free pot shot.  That’s like saying that George Z. should just lie there and take that ass-whuppin’. What if Syria pulls out a gun that happens to be Russian Retaliation.  We’d better be ready for that possibility.  And if he were really concerned about the nerve gas use, why didn’t he go to Congress six months ago and ask for provisional approval for a strike?  That way it would be a surprise.  Heck, he’s not serious about protecting our country.  He won’t even secure our borders.  Doesn’t he think bad guys might cross it?

            Meanwhile we have a situation where the Syrians are killing each other.  The vile dictator is killing Al Qaeda and other radicals and vice versa.  Is that so bad?  But if we still can’t stand to be patient, here’s my suggestion.  If the chemical attacks are our concern—and they should be ours as well as Israel’s—then just aim at places that our intel tells us they are located.  Big green cloud erupts.  “Hey! Don’t mess with us or use that stuff again or we will explode more of your cache and you get to wear the gas masks.”
