Even the title of Charles Krauthammer’s latest piece in the Washington Post<\/a> is brilliant. But there’s so much more;<\/p>\n

The new post-bin Laden dispensation is that the entire decade-long war on terror was an overreaction \u2014 as shown by the bin Laden operation itself, which, noted one critic, looks a lot like police work, the kind of law enforcement John Kerry insisted in 2004 was the proper prism through which to address the terror threat.<\/p>\n

On the contrary. The bin Laden operation is the perfect vindication of the war on terror. It was made possible precisely by the vast, warlike infrastructure that the Bush administration created post-9\/11, a fierce regime of capture and interrogation, of dropped bombs and commando strikes. That regime, of course, followed the more conventional war that brought down the Taliban, scattered and decimated al-Qaeda and made bin Laden a fugitive. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We came to kill. That is what you do in war. Do that in police work and you\u2019ve committed murder. The Navy SEAL(s) who pulled the fateful trigger would be facing charges, not receiving medals.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You should read the whole thing.<\/p>\n

I’ve watched members of the former Bush Administration credit completely the Obama Administration with bin Laden’s death, but no reciprocation from the Obama folks. They couldn’t have pulled off the flawless operation without all of things the Bush Administration had put in place, but you won’t hear that from the Obama crowd who are still on the campaign trail and still campaigning against Bush.<\/p>\n

Don’t forget that this administration wants more diplomats and fewer troops in Afghanistan. If they were fighting the war the way they want to fight, there’s be a crowd of diplomats outside the OBL compound still negotiating with him to surrender. And that dick Eikenberry would be hogging the megaphone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
