Excerpt from an article in The Weekly Standard:
_______________
In 2001 Congress passed the Authorization for the Use of Military Force, a declaration of war on terrorists and nations that harbor them. In his speech the president said, “I look forward to engaging… in efforts to refine and ultimately repeal the AUMF’s mandate.”
I like the president’s use of the word “efforts” here, as though he’s merely trying to be stupid. He doesn’t need to try. Earlier in the week he signed new policy guidance for drone strikes. In the future we will use lethal drones only on terrorists who are a “continuing and imminent threat to the American people” and not on terrorists who are a “significant threat to U.S. interests.” Although, assuming tremendously stupid efforts will be made to tell the two kinds of terrorists apart, maybe I’m wrong about the president not needing to try. The policy guidance also stipulates that there “must be a near certainty” that civilians won’t be killed or injured in a drone strike. Imagine how stupid a WWII Army Air Corps briefing officer would have had to be to say that to his B-17 pilots.
obama is plain stupid
and plane stupid
stupid with cream and sugar
with sprinkles, frosting and raspberry filling.
i can’t think of any kind of stupid the gdft isn’t
“Imagine how stupid a WWII Army Air Corps briefing officer would have had to be to say that to his B-17 pilots.”
The stupid here isn’t trying to restrict civilian casualties, it’s trying to use air strikes in a situation where they must be restricted. We are at war with a lot of terrorists, but no countries. It’s like the stupid of using B-17s to hit Nazi agents in neutral, Axis-leaning Spain, or the stupid of the Axis sending Do 17s to hit Allied agents in neutral Portugal, Sweden, or Switzerland (which sent voluntary brigades to fight alongside the British.)
