When It Comes to the Military, He's Clueless
Power Line — Cassandra of Villainous Company, whose husband is a Marine deployed in Afghanistan, lays the wood to President Obama, brilliantly: Life is full of mysteries, but chief among them in this Marine wife's mind at the moment is, "Just how stupid does this White House think we are?"

If, after all these Hamletonian pretensions, Obama ends up essentially following what Generals McChrystal and Petraeus have been recommending all along, will it only be because he, personally, has checked all their homework? What does that say about his regard for our military, and what do veterans think about what they see? One Marine wife thinks Obama just doesn't "get" the very military he commands . Beyond Afghanistan, ...
