Let's get back to that 3:00 A.M. phone call....it's the Cuban Missile Crisis. The enemy is pushing us to the brink of World War. Our kids are going to die. The wrong move will obliterate more than half the people on the planet.
The Joint Chiefs are all ready to exercise their powers and have their strategies in place. They know how to conduct the last war. They're itching for the opportunity to prove themselves.
They're telling President Obama what they want him to hear. They're pressuring him to okay this and approve of that, and everything he knows about military strategy and warfare can be found on the shelves of your local library.
Sadly, President Obama only has Michelle who knows him well. Vice President Biden has his own ideas and is more eager to implement those than to give the President all of his options. There is no Bobby Kennedy to keep Barack on track.
Under mounting pressure, the former junior senator from Illinois and crack community organizer gives in to one of his Generals and launches a first strike to destroy the missiles.
Sadly, many Russian soldiers die in the process.
As the follow-up, we invade Cuba to secure the island once and for all. And although the very intelligent graduate of Harvard Law has surrounded himself with wise folk of all sort, none have persuaded him that Russia's retaliation will not be in Cuba - but in Turkey, where an immediate counter-strike is launched.
I could go on, but the short version is BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. And blackout.
Is Senator Obama the person that you want handling the next Cuban Missile Crisis? Or would it be better stewarded by the fellow who's seen war from every side and who knows full well the capabilities and limitations of our military power - in a way far more than merely intellectual?
I've got no choice in this election. Without national security, there is no economy, no domestic welfare, no pursuit of happiness. Only BOOM, And blackout.
Please vote for McCain. I thank you.
