What's the next step in the War on Terror?

(published 9-May-2011, Appleton Post-Crescent)

Re-evaluate everything.  Our relationship with Pakistan, for example.  The news that Obama's compound was a long par five away from the Kakul (Pakistan Military Academy), coupled with Pakistan's years of denials that Obama could be there, bear thorough examination.  Some claim that the U. S. could now exert a lot of leverage on Zardari.  One thing to watch out for: how to allow Pakistan to save face.  But far more importantly, Michael Moore is unhappy! O! The humanity!  OBL should have gone on trial, he says.  Maybe in Moore's fantasy world bin Laden could have gotten the Robert Blake jury and gotten off! Democratic supporters of President Obama are coming to grips with the fact that their guy has changed. As Dennis Miller so presciently put it back in '09, it isn't that Emperor Obama is wearing NO clothes; it's that he's really wearing the same clothes as the last Emperor.
