Willing the Means

Angelo Codevilla writes for Asia Times about what logic dictates regarding U.S. policy vis-a-vis ISIS.

Daesh/ISIS having murdered some Americans and continuing to instigate the murder of others, the US government’s quintessential duty is to exterminate any and all who have any part in it. Any number of US politicians make noises more or less in this direction. But he who wills the ends must also will the means. That is the first touchstone of seriousness. The second is like it: those means cannot be out-sourced. Minding our safety is our inalienable responsibility.

It's a responsibility our Muslim-enabling President will not accept. January of 2017 cannot get here too soon.
