Obama vows not to send people to war without cause

By DARLENE SUPERVILLE, Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md. – President Barack Obama promised graduating midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy on Friday that, as their commander in chief, he will only send them "into harm's way when it is absolutely necessary." In his first address to military graduates, Obama also pledged to invest in the men and women who defend America's liberty, not just in the weapons they would take with them into battle against 21st century threats.

"I will only send you into harm's way when it is absolutely necessary, and with the strategy, the well-defined goals, the equipment and the support that you need to get the job done," the president told more than 1,000 graduates during a sun-splashed ceremony at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.

"I will only send you into harm's way when it is absolutely necessary"

"I will only send you into harm's way when it is absolutely necessary, and with the strategy, the well-defined goals, the equipment and the support that you need to get the job done," the president said.

So does this mean he's going to get (1) a strategy; (2) well-defined goals; (3) equipment; and (4) support for the thousands of US service men and women ALREADY in harm's way in Iraq and Afghanistan????

Yeah right, Obama will send you only to places the United Nations wants you to go and be peace keepers. I'm a disabled vet due to injuries incurred in a war time situation and I would do it all over again, even if the results were to stay the same.
Obama has no clue what is right to do when it comes to the military. Hell, with his interests in taking away all the guns from the American people, he will send our troops in action with no protection.

Gosh! I thought that he would send our military into war when it was not necessary. Thanks for clarification. Chairman BO is a cliche.

Obama = FUBAR

"I will only send you into harm's way when it is absolutely necessary

To invade Pakistan?

“I will only send you into harm’s way when it is absolutely necessary”

When hasn’t it been necessary. War is necessary, without war there is no peace.

[RepublitarianRoger2]

Won't send anyone into harm's way without Coz

[Evil Slayer]

...WTF?...

I bet they all were saying this when they heard the illegal CIC say that. With a heavy arm, they saluted but only as protocol and not honor to the moron that just insulted them.

Do you think 0 might be referring to JFK? FDR? Woodrow Wilson?

[4Godsoloved..Hegave]

Good one :)

“Obamateur outlaws pizza delivery missions.” Yeah, right.

An absence of war is not necessarily peace. “Peace” existed (according to the left) when Saddam Hussein was in power and yet there were mass graves.

Let me reiterate: An absence of war is not necessarily peace.

Too many people mistakenly believe that no war equals peace.

“Do you think 0 might be referring to JFK? FDR? Woodrow Wilson?”

I’m thinking he was referring to the Continental Congress and George Washington.

“What’s the point of having this superb military you’re always talking about if we can’t use it?”

BO is no W when it comes to Liberty. The persecuted people around the globe have nobody to fight for them. Rogue states are free to do what they please, no fearing the USA anymore.

Our foreign policy- Clinton “N.Korea you better not make nukes”, Iran “Let’s talk about nukes.” bO was wrong on all military decisions prior to gaining office and we expect him to be right now?

Just like “the most transparent government in history” claim when BO was the most secretive candidate ever. Do we wait til 2012 or do we call his bluff? $1 MILLION SPENT PROTECTING HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE.
