Our Secretary of Defense publicly promises “no quarter” to the Iranian army.
He knows exactly what that means under the laws of war.
He knows our soldiers are bound by those rules.
He also knows that reckless talk from the top only puts potential American POWs in greater danger.
Yet the performance continues.
“War Barbie” needs another headline.
Mind you, he is leading a campaign in which every missile our forces launch without accurate intelligence can mean the deaths of a hundred more schoolgirls — or a swift regional escalation of the conflict. And yet… Pete still finds time to bar press photographers from briefings for publishing an “unflattering” photo of him.
The worst part?
Our evangelicals keep cheering.
How low, exactly, is the bar?
