Fighting With Our Hands Tied

This is from a review of the new book War Footing by Frank Gaffney:

“America is fighting this war, as the saying goes, with one hand tied behind its back,” writes Gaffney, who goes on to explain that – unlike our use of our superior military forces and high-tech battlefield wizardry – we have failed to make use of our superior economic and financial power against our enemies. “We need to adopt a War Footing stance that includes measures that use our money to punish our enemies while rewarding the responsible – and profitable companies – that are on our side,” he says.

It concludes with a statement very relevent seeing the Muslim riots ongoing world wide:

“To be sure, it is a global war,” he says. “But what we have established is that, given its complexities and stakes, this conflict should be called what it plainly is – the War for the Free World.”
