What Do We Need?

According to the Obamessiah's blinded hacks in the media, here's what we need in our Commander in Chief right now:



Kinder and gentler?? Hm. Meanwhile, our enemies do this:

Noah Shachtman reports that the Taliban have taken credit on their website for setting a woman on fire who was in Afghanistan doing social science research:

A social scientist in the Army's controversial Human Terrain program was en route to Brooke Army Medical Center in Texas after being set on fire in and apparent Taliban attack in Afghanistan. It's the third time in five months that a Human Terrain Team member has been killed or seriously wounded.

Paula Lloyd was interviewing locals in the southern village of Maywand on Tuesday as part of her duties in a Human Terrain Team, which embeds civilian cultural experts into U.S. combat units. She approached a man carrying a fuel jug and they began talking about the price of gas. Suddenly, the man doused Lloyd in a flammable liquid and set her on fire. She suffered second- and third-degree burns over 60 percent of her body, a Human Terrain source told Danger Room.

Just to clairify, the woman would have been a civilian employee of the Army, not a soldier.
Do you really think 'kinder, gentler' is going to beat people who set innocent civilian women on fire?

There's my two cents.
