#4 Muslims wouldn't do spit to save our lives if we were in trouble. That said, t won't get easier to deal with this down the road.

#5 "We can wait until ISIS manages a truly horrible attack in the US, as we have before, and then leap spasmodically to avenge ourselves,"

There was no "spasmodical vengeance!"

There was a military response to 9/11. But the Bush administration made a huge effort to avoid giving the impression that there was a retaliatory or punitive component to that response.
This is why "Operation Infinite Justice" was neutered and turned into "Operation Enduring Freedom."

The failed military response to 9/11 was an attempt at therapeutic intervention that increased muslim hatred for Western civilization and simultaneously reduced muslim fear of the West.

"If not us, who? If not here, where? If not now, when?"

Any military engagement will suffer from insane, self-destructive ROE and will end in a humiliating defeat for the West.

When the muslims look up and shout "Save us!" we should look down and whisper "No!"

#6 It wasn't or isn't just the ROE, it's also the hobbling of the tactics and techniques of aggressive commanders on the ground. Having to EXPLAIN to a JAG in Kandahar why your upcoming operation is essential to the security of your sector, then being told by the "leadership"... back off, stick to tribal council shuras and road patrolling.

#7 There was no "spasmodical vengeance!"

I guess months of deliberation, presentation, denigration, and waiting for UN approval is considered "spasmodic."

#8 Spasmodical Vengeance would be a great band name.

If not us, who? If not here, where? If not now, when?

Answer hazy. Ask again later.
