Old. Slow. Deadly.
And about to get deadlier. The warthog is back.
The aircraft, which is known for flying low and slowly over battlefields in support of ground troops, will be upgraded to the A-10C configuration. The upgraded aircraft will have more computer technology and precision-guided weapons and the ability to shoot from higher altitudes in all weather.
Bad news for Jihadists everywhere.
Just today I was reflecting on the mental acuity of those who don’t realize that it’s all the same war, and wondering what it’s like to see one’s own colon from so close up. Michelle Malkin has had similar, if less scatalogical, thoughts prompted by watching buffoons on the MSM who don’t think Hezbollah is our problem.
And Jeff Jacoby took care of the Chicken Hawk straw man, prompting this from Cliff May.
There is a war of arms. And there is a war of ideas.
They are not just inter-related, they are interdependent. They are equally consequential. When we get the ideas wrong, when we misunderstand the problem, we end up with the wrong solution and all that follows from that.
I have a confession to make. I was never comfortable telling my daughter the Santa Claus lie. It’s really important to me that I always tell her the truth. And that one bugged me. Last August she figured it out, and accepted my apology for the story. I was very proud of her.
So why am I blogging about this now? Because I really wonder how I get so worked up about Santa in a world where people do this to their children.
