Pants wetting redux

Rep. Michael Grimm (R-Staten Island/Brooklyn) decried the attacks, saying that with the Olympics in the offing “we must not let the terrorists incite fear …”
Sounds good. The whole point of terrorism is to make your enemies panic.
Unfortunately it’s working. Grimm continued:
“We cannot sweep these threats under the rug, like we did with Benghazi or the warnings from Russia on the Tsarnaev brothers behind the Boston Marathon bombing. Each time we fail to recognize these threats, we not only risk the lives of innocent Americans, but appear weaker and vulnerable in the eyes of the enemy.”
The Russians are coming! The Russians are coming! Run fer yer lives!
Or else we’ll look weak and vulnerable …
Update: Grimm has at least one politician he can look up to for his leadership and uncompromising terrorism policy:
“I am certain that we will fiercely and consistently continue the fight against terrorists until their complete annihilation”, Putin said, according to Russian news agencies.
Cool heads prevailing all around.
