Obama should have NAILED IRAN!

While I'm hardly part of the local or national punditocracy, I have a point about what Obama left out in his West Point address to send more troops to Afghanistan.   I support the guy; he sold sending more troops better than Sheriff Bush did the surge in Iraq, and it depends on what happens now...devil's always in the details.

My current heroine, Rachel Maddow, misses one point when she questions the secret war-- the deniable one over Pakistan with unmanned robot drone bombers.  The 'why' is because of the unique situation of THIS war, like no other one.  It's not the traditional war of belligerent European  nations like Germany and Italy against France and Britain, or even North Vietnam, Korea, etc.


This is 21st century borderless war with new tactics.


This is a cross-border insurgency war.   We call it terrorism but it's not about terror.  It's just not like Napoleonic/Civil War tactics with big armies in bright colors all lined up in a row trading musket volleys.

This is a cancer of ambush battles on civilization to convert the world to a religion, regardless of governments and countries.  We can't play traditional seventeenth century rules of declaring war on COUNTRIES, because COUNTRIES aren't waging this particular war.   These are religious nutcases waging war on civilization.



New Rules of Warfare.

So we established nations and cultures need deniability in a world where sovereignty and border respect still prevail no matter what are the realities of this turn-of-the -century war.

Everyone wants to kill off the Muslim anarchists, no matter what country where they operate.  So we wage secret, deniable war in Pakistan and elsewhere, for now.  That way they can look the other way and pretend we're waging war against al Qaeda, not Pakistan, or Bali, or wherever.  Someone should have whispered that in Rachel's ear.  Maybe we have secret Paki permission...maybe Pakistan needs our help but can't say so publicly! 


Obama should have nailed Iran! 

Now then.  Obama missed one point.  He should have shown some leadership, last point, looked directly into the camera and said:

There's ONE COUNTRY funding the Taliban.  A rogue nation and speaking for MY country, my patience grows very short.  We should have taken Hitler out before 1938.  We played by the rules and talked but he played for time until he was ready to take over the world for 'his' supremacist religion.  As a planet, we paid the price for being too patient with a very dangerous man. 


I wish he' leaned into the camera and said directly to Iran::

You sir, continue your adventure at your own risk.  Back off or I will take you out in the blink of an eye...better on MY terms than YOURS.  We did learn that lesson in WWII.  You have a week to start minding your own business.  If you don't, I will decide the date and time to send you and your Revolutionary religious Army who supports you back to the stone age.  And I will chase you and kill you.  And if I capture you, I will try you and have you hanged for crimes against humanity!

This planet will not tolerate you or your fifteenth century ideas.  Play nice, get along, or be out of the game.   Thank you, g'night.  God bless America and free people everywhere.

I don't care if OBAMA SAYS IT PUBLICLY .. for that might be ineffective, even a mistake.  But he needs to give IRAN SIXTY SECONDS to cease and desist!  Or Launch missiles.   Better them or anybody they want to kill.  LETS CERTAINLY LEARN WORLD WAR II's LESSON.  Don't wait until we're attacked and have to win the hard way.  Take this clown out before he kills millions in Israel or has enough power to destroy mideast's oil and crash the planet's economy.  We can afford a world without Iranian leadership!

US Politics:  One last thing.  Obama's doctrine isn't different than Bush's.  The enemy is the same.  Do Republicans actually want Obama to lose ground in this war only so they can regain power?  If that's true, then let's try the Republicans for treason if they don't STFU!
