Jerry–

I’m relieved to hear somebody is wargaming the stateless terrorist attack. Are you confident we will almost always have an effective military response?

The common thread in most the criticism of the administration these days has to do with motives. In the absence of evidence, of course, intuiting someone’s motives is impossible. Moreover, it is a logical fallacy, having nothing to do with whether decisions such as raising the terror alert are right on their face. Septenthians in particular prefer to argue motives rather than outcomes since no proof other than their “feelings” is necessary.

It is perfectly consistent with the Left’s abdication of reason and logic regarding the WoT, as well as their general worldview: “We were well-intentioned therefore we were right” & vice versa. The pavers to hell are working overtime these days.
