At least someone in the MSM isn't swallowing and regurgitating the horsepucky coming out of the White House.
It's time to get out, or adopt Eisenhower's credo:
That jest set the tone for a provocative address before 1,100 in which the foreign correspondent and 60 Minutes star skewered American policy in Afghanistan and Libya, called for a ramped-up military campaign against terrorists, and criticized the Obama administration and others for both underestimating the Taliban's strength in Afghanistan and for tolerating Pakistan's obvious coddling of terrorists killing American soldiers.
The Taliban and al Qaeda, she made clear, "want to destroy the West and us," and we must fight fire with fire, She appeared to leave the assembled alternatively riveted and just a bit troubled by a critique with interventionist implications clearly drawn from her reporting.

The lie is that America's military might has tamed the Taliban.
There is this narrative coming out of Washington for the last two years," Logan said. It is driven in part by "Taliban apologists," who claim "they are just the poor moderate, gentler, kinder Taliban," she added sarcastically. "It's such nonsense!"

She made a passionate case that our government is downplaying the strength of our enemies in Afghanistan and Pakistan, as a rationale of getting us out of the longest war. We have been lulled into believing that the perils are in the past: "You're not listening to what the people who are fighting you say about this fight. In your arrogance, you think you write the script."

"As long as I am President, no American will be forced to fight with one hand tied behind his back."
