Eleven years after the American homeland was attacked by Muslim terrorists, Iran, the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism, is sending death squads to Syria in order to prop up the Assad regime.
Eleven years after 9-11, Iran sends arms and money to their proxy government Hizbullah in Lebanon.
Eleven years after 9-11, Iran finances and arms Hizbullah terrorists in Gaza.
Eleven years after 9-11, Iran threatens genocide against the Jewish state.
Eleven years after 9-11, Iran is on the verge of becoming a nuclear power.
Eleven years after 9-11, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton states that “no redline exists” that, once crossed by Iran, would compel an attack by the United States on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Eleven years after 9-11, American timidity in the face of the Iranian nuclear threat has handed that terrorist nation international prestige which translates into geopolitical power. We have seen the fruits of rogue nuclear states. North Korea and Pakistan are both, by any measure, failed states, yet both wield undue leverage on the world stage precisely because they have fingers on a nuclear trigger.

Eleven years after 9-11, Dr. Shakil Afridi, the Pakistan physician who helped America identify and ultimately kill Osama bin Laden, has been sentenced to 33 years in prison on charges of treason. That this administration has not compelled Pakistan to set free this man is a national shame and a crime against decency.
Eleven years after 9-11, the Obama administration has aided the Muslim Brotherhood in its rise to power in Egypt.
Eleven years after 9-11, Mr. Obama views building permits in Jerusalem as a greater threat to international peace than the Iranian backed terrorists of Gaza.
Eleven years after 9-11, the Obama administration cannot and will not name radical Islam as the greatest threat to western civilization.
Eleven years after 9-11, few are willing to quote Union General Philip Sheridan, who understood that the only way to win a war is by waging total war. He said of the enemy:
The people must be left nothing but their eyes to weep with after the war.

Sherman was tired of having his supply lines constantly attacked and cut since they were so deep into the south by Atlanta. So after the siege he decided to live off the land and strip whatever his troops needed from the population. He was determined to leave nothing of value in his wake.
Today we have lawyers making military decisions. I thought LBJ poring over maps deciding bombing targets was bad. Reading Chris Kyle’s American Sniper, you find out soldiers had to fill out paperwork on every shot like they were the police in Chicago after discharging their guns. The military brass is so afraid of having their careers derailed by an innocent’s death they put military objectives below not making a mistake. Sherman and Patton are rolling over in their graves.

For all of the above, some blame has to be laid at Bush’s door. We should never have hung around so long in Iraq, and not in Afghanistan either. The idea of “nation-building” was a stupid waste of lives and money, and it has slowly degraded the nation’s willingness to fight the Islamist threat. Once the job was done, every American troop should have been pulled, and leave the barbarians to their own devices. There’s no civilizing them, anyhow; why waste US lives proving the fact?

I had a class the morning of 9-11. I’ll never forget the first words out of the professor’s mouth:
“Well … Bush got his war.”

I recently ran the new Blu Ray of Rio Grande. General Sheridan, portrayed by J. Carroll Naish, while not saying anything like the line you quoted Robert, is clearly that kind of guy. We need more men like him, and I think, General Powell was. His Powell Corollary reflects his kind of thinking. The only way to go to war is to win. The only way to win is all out.

Sorry, Barry, but I can’t agree with the “Total War” concept that insists on attacking non-combatants. Sheridan and Sherman were total terrorists and they weren’t the only ones. Target military personnel and objectives. Wipe them out. Put them in a condition to never rise again. Non-military attacks are what we today call terrorism.

I don’t think you could be more wrong. The enemy does not exist in a vacuum. They have cilian support. Like saying that the Nazi’s were bad but surrounded by good Germans. The Nazi’s and their leadership existed in that time and place for a reason. I would show them the mercy they showed to others.
