Whatever the F it takes if that is the mission.
what a joke. Sorry, but "whatever it takes" is not a real world answer. Just like the repubs... afraid to say "we need 150,000 troops on the ground" but bold enough to bash obama for not following your non-existent advice.
Imagine this in "real life".
Teacher?
Students, you get an F on this test. I didn't tell you what the test would be on, I refused to teach you the subject matter and I won't tell you what the correct answers are... but you didn't do whatever it takes, kids, you fail.
Referee?
Look, Patriots win 61-0. I'm not going to say where the goal lines were. I didn't even give you guys a ball and there sure weren't rules, but they did what it takes and your team didn't.
Cops?
Look, I'm arresting you. I didn't tell you the law, and I won't tell you which one you brokes... but you're going to lockup, pal!
Repubs:
Obama, your war plan is a fail. We won't tell you what you should be doing, not until March. We won't tell you if we'd have troops on ground, we won't tell you how we'd use air power. We won't even tell you which bad guys we would be hitting. We'll just shout from the rooftops that you're a fail. Despite our ambigious content, behavior and rubric, you fail.
Sheesh, it's so stupid I just want to defecate on your lawn.
