INCIDENTALLY. . . . No day is complete without at least one Corner-centric post, so cast your eyes hither where Michael Ledeen is musing on the merits of killing people rather than taking them prisoner and then after three grafs of that tosses off this aside, “But one thing I do know: I would insist that my soldiers have the right of ‘hot pursuit’ into Iran and Syria, and I would order my armed forces to attack the terrorist training camps in those countries. And I’m quite sure I’d go after the terrorist training camps in Pakistan, too.”

He’d launch wars with three new countries? What’s going to happen after lunch? Does the rest of the National Review gang endorse this plan?
