…is not a strategy.
Like Joe Biden.

Joe Biden
Didn’t have the guts to go after bin Laden.
But I still think the bin Laden raid was overrated. The administration wanted to pretend (or imagine) that killing bin Laden ended the war, when he was a symptom of the problem, not the cause. My view was validated by the rise of “the JV team,” ISIS.
Nineteen Years
Stephen Kruiser has some reflections on the anniversary, as does Glenn. As Stephen notes, there are now young adults who have very little memory of that day. In some ways, the changes that event wrought in the nation were greater than those from Pearl Harbor (my grandparents were about the same age for that event as I was on 911). Unfortunately, few of them were for the better. Next year, for the twentieth anniversary, I hope that the current crises will be in the rear-view mirror, but I fear that they won’t be, regardless of the outcome of the election.
Riots
…are on their way to becoming elections by other means.
This will not end well.

California
…is now a Third World country.
Yes, it’s insane. We’ve weathered the weather pretty well. Sunday was miserable hot even at the beach; it hit the mid nineties in the middle of the afternoon, and it was too hot to work in the yard. Fortunately, sea breeze started to cool things down, and the temperature had dropped considerably by early evening. We haven’t had any problem sleeping. I’m hoping that the worst is over, but September is the worst month here. I vastly prefer winter in southern California.
