In a "prudent" use of resources

With all the attention lavished on San Fran Nan Al-Pelosi, all the other happenings almost fell off of the radar screen. Almost.

A "bi-partisan bill" that will divert defense funds to "fight global warming," with two all-too-familiar leftist sponsors:

WASHINGTON -- The CIA and Pentagon would for the first time be required to assess the national security implications of climate change under proposed legislation intended to elevate global warming to a national defense issue.

The bipartisan proposal, which its sponsors expect to pass the Congress with wide support, calls for the director of national intelligence to conduct the first-ever "national intelligence estimate" on global warming.

The measure, sponsored by Senator Chuck Hagel , a Nebraska Republican, and Senator Richard J. Durbin , an Illinois Democrat, comes as other international bodies are taking steps to designate global warming as a high international priority.

So, rather than utilize the full resources of our intelligence capabilities to fight the very real threat of global jihadism (hell--to their ilk the GWOT doesn't exist!), Senators Hagel and Durbin see it fit to divert our intelligence resources to chase after an imaginary red herring, in much the same fashion as Ahab chased after a legendary whale. But while Ahab and his crew actually received their come-uppance from the object of their pursuit in Melville's tale; Hagel, Durbin and the rest of the moonbat faithful (and America with it) will receive their come-uppance from another enemy lurking in the shadows.

Actually, lurking under their noses.
