Usually at Associated Press<\/a>, they put their names on their articles, but this smelly turd is unsigned, and whoever regurgitated this bullshit is obviously embarrassed by it.<\/p>\n

The Navy SEAL operation that freed two Western hostages in Somalia is representative of the Obama administration\u2019s pledge to build a smaller, more agile military force that can carry out surgical counterterrorist strikes to cripple an enemy.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a strategy much preferred to the land invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan that have cost so much American blood and treasure over the past decade. The contrast to a full-bore invasion is stark: A small, daring team storms a pirate encampment on a near-moonless night, kills nine kidnappers and whisks the hostages to safety.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, that’s how you win a war…by surgical strikes at point targets. It worked so well when the French and Dutch Resistance movements employed it as their singular strategy and they beat the Germans and drove them from their countries with pin pricks…oh, wait…no, they didn’t. <\/p>\n

Not to be discounted is the feel-good moment such missions give the American public, a counterbalance to the continued casualties in Afghanistan.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, that’s how you win a war…make people feel good in an election year. Swell.<\/p>\n

So if we can arrange to have an enemy that just kidnaps our citizens, wars will be all gravy.<\/p>\n

Notice how the article uses Panetta’s term “agile” to describe the new military, implying that today’s military is unreasonably bloated and cumbersome. I’d like them to point to one successful military endeavor in history which was won because the force was merely “agile”. I suspect that this will is only the first of many articles supporting the Obama military by being completely void of substance and facts to support their wishes and dreams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
