I agree with Whiskey that President Bush and the West are weak. For seven years we have had incessant, without let-up Fifth Column, Fourth Estate undermining of the morale of the people, intended as a continuing guerrilla political war. And the President and his people have lost that war. The result is that there is no political will to strike at the Iranian nuclear weapons development facilities. Zero. None. Here and there you may have a citizen who does understand what this has been all about and that citizen will naturally be defiant and want his government to do the right thing. But the rest want that big, Jackass Party Hardy like it’s the Nineties all over again.

Putin has made a calculation that we are weak. And we are. Our military isn’t, but when the civilians don’t support any mission because they’ve succumbed to the steady diet of BDS from the media, it’s over. I see it on a daily basis. This country is in deep trouble because mainly the education system that cranked ‘em out indoctrinated them well.
