[HT:SP]
Our enemies have done what we refuse to do. They've analyzed the problem objectively and engineered ruthless solutions.
And we won't even block their Internet sites.
We make up fairy tales about the power of development projects to deter religious fanatics. We impose rules of engagement on our troops that protect our enemies. We ground our air power.
We grant terrorists "legal" rights with no basis in existing law.
And our enemies do whatever it takes to win.
I want to see every one of those enemies dead. But I have to acknowledge their commitment, their maddened courage and their genius at waging war for peanuts. Our troops in the field know all too well what a self-imposed mess we're in. But the gulf between our grunts and their generals is immense and growing wider.
It's a (literally) bloody disgrace that our ragtag enemies innovate faster and more effectively than our armed forces and the legion of overpaid contractors behind them. They ask themselves, "What works?"
We ask ourselves what the lawyers will say.
The crucial difference? Our enemies believe in victory, even if we don't.
