WHO IS LARA LOGAN?
CAREFUL ABOUT CHOOSING ALLIES.
Lara Logan is pretty and pretty convincing and useful when she is on record in denouncing this administration’s failures in Afghanistan. Read “Lara Logan’s War Cry”—-The CBS News and ‘60 Minutes’ correspondent stunned a Chicago audience with her interventionist critique of America’s response to the attacks in Libya. James Warren reports.

Really? How come she has never condemned the Afghan insider killings–rooted as the May, 2011 Army Red Team report revealed in “totalitarian Islam”– let alone See No Islam “Counterinsurgency doctrine” (COIN).

She was in fact a big fan of the mental and moral cretin McChrystal, who, as Diana West discovered, even condemned the assassination of bin Laden as a “violation” of Pakistan’s territorial sovereignty. From Andrew Bostom’s forthcoming “Sharia Versus Freedom“, pp. 359-60:
“Diana West brought to my attention a commentary published May 13, 2011, by Pakistani Rhodes Scholar at Magdalen College, University of Oxford, Dr. Mohammad Ali Rai. Dr. Rai recorded comments made by General Stanley McChrystal in May 2011 at Oxford’s International Relations Society, during a discussion of US military intervention in “Af-Pak.”67 Regarding the assassination of Osama bin Laden—the avowed jihadist mastermind of the mass killing of three thousand US noncombatants in New York, Washington, DC, and Pennsylvania, on September 11, 2001, as well as a litany of other murderous jihad terrorist actions,68McChrystal opined:
‘To my [Dr. Rai’s] surprise, the general [McChrystal] also brought up the issue of Pakistan’s territorial sovereignty and how that had been violated in the Bin Laden mission. The general even went on to say that the news of Bin Laden’s death was not something that should be celebrated, as there is no happiness and satisfaction in the loss of human life.69‘
The preening, pseudomoralistic voice of amoral, postmodern COIN defeatism, in its own words.”
Logan would blithely resign our troops to the same self-destructive modes of operation dictated by See No Islam COIN under which they currently operate. Conservatives had better get their minds around this reality and stop singing her praises as anything other than a momentary way to bash Obama, appropriately, during the election cycle. However, she represents an endorsement of failed policies, not some bold new approach.
