What our enemy thinks
Is Andrew Sullivan being deliberately obtuse?
Really? Because from my corner of the world, that's all our leaders seem to care about -- that al Qaeda and the bad people will be "emboldened" by criticism of the Preznit, or that they'll "laugh at us" for our failure of resolve, or any such other crazy Green Lantern theories of war-fighting. Indeed, seemingly every utterance made by any evildoer is now used as a cudgel (the exception being the latest one) with which to beat political enemies here.
But one thing we haven't done enough in this war is think through the mind of our enemy.
