Obama the Absorber

In Woodward's new book "Obama's Wars" he quotes the Kenyan-Indonesian as saying  

"We can absorb a terrorist attack. We'll do everything we can to prevent it, but even a 9/11, even the biggest attack ever . . . we absorbed it and we are stronger." 

Technically speaking, the long legged mac daddy is correct. The nation's worst terrorist attack cost the lives of 0.001% of the nation's population. More americans die each year from murders, abortions, auto accidents, drug overdoses and sexual behaviors (whatever the hell that is) than terrorism.

The US could "absorb the loss" of 10-15% of it's population, like the Soviet Union and Germany during WW2. We could lose the ten largest cities in the US, even Washington DC, Obama and the congress and still carry on. Hell the nation might even thrive afterwards. That's not the issue.

We ought to be standing up to the enemies that harm us and be killing them in droves until they can no longer threaten. Germany and Japan were defeated because most of their young men were dead and their cities were rubble. We should be doing the same now in the islamic shit holes. But the metrosexual president wants to be loved by the people who would kill him. So he will stop and do police reports after we "absorb" the next attack.

My only hope is that Obama the Absorber gets to take the next terrorist attack to demonstrate that he is a man of action and not just teleprompter rhetoric.
