Deep Thoughts

So now that we know that President "Dirty Barry" Obama authorized a standing "use of force" order against the Somali pirates, does that mean that Ralph Peters, John Bolton, and Jack Kelly have to admit that Democrats can in fact make good national security decisions?

Obama was never against wars, just dumb wars. Although I have to say, this wasn't exactly a "Cuban Missile Crisis" decision.

P.S. Thanks to my commentors to the pirate post, as usual, you bring great points to the table for discussion.

I don't see what's the big deal about this "national security decision." It seemed like a no-brainer to me and doesn't prove or disprove anything about President Obama. I think he'll probably do fine when a real national security decision comes along, but this one wasn't it.
