Ooh! Ooh-ooh! Arnold Horshak has a few questions for President Kot-tare

Jed Babbin is a little slow on the uptake, as revealed in his column (kid you not), "GWOT Is it?" at The American Spectator.

Wartime presidents must lead their people. In this, Mr. Bush has fallen flat. It's not enough to say we must complete the mission. It's not nearly enough to repeat the truism that our soldiers are performing bravely, with skill and humaneness not seen before in history. As important as those facts are, they pale in comparison to what we aren't told: What is the mission? Who are our enemies, and where are they? How are we going to attack and defeat them? What, specifically, are they trying to do and how are we going to stop them? We know none of those things from the President.

Jed, the president has been repetitious to the point of brain kill on this -- but you really haven't been paying attention now, have you?

What is the mission? -- The mission is to kill the evildoers over in Evildoerland before they can sneak into Goodpeopleland and hurt us.

Who are our enemies? -- All evildoers everywhere and the people (excluding Saudis) who help them.

Where are they? -- Right now, the world's greatest concentration of evildoers is in Iraq, which is lucky since that's where our military just happens to be.

How are we going to attack and defeat them? -- Well, of course, by bombing, shooting, and taking embarrassing photographs of naked people -- plus there's some double super-secret stuff that mere civilians can't know about.

What, specifically, are they trying to do and how are we going to stop them? -- Since the evildoers hate us for our freedoms, we're getting rid of as many as we can. Fewer freedoms means fewer targets. Doesn't take a rocket scientist, Jed. Even our president figured out that one.
