You can like Ralph Peters or not — I find I’m with him around 90 percent of the time — but he can definitely turn a phrase. Here he is in America’s Newspaper of Record this morning, writing about the Afghanistan futility:

Old-think counterinsurgency theory demands a lot of troops, plentiful resources — and time.
But we haven’t got the troops. Our resources are squandered. And time’s running out, with the war-virgin brats on Team Obama squealing, “Are we there yet? When are we going to get there?”

Nicely done. And yes, I think Peters is correct on this one.
