Last month, the Obama Administration began noticeably increasing military shows of force on or near the Korean peninsula, as the North’s young leader increasingly took steps of his own to increase tensions. Some of the earliest high-profile decisions by the President included bolstering missile defense capabilities in order to protect the American homeland, deployment of B-52 and B-2 bombers in military exercises, and the mobilization of stealthy fifth-generation F-22 fighter jets.

Weapons President Obama Learns the Value of the Military Toolbox

******************************EXCERPT*************************************************

Closing statement of the artical:

*****************************************

President Obama has the tools he now realizes he needs to defend the nation and its allies because presidents that came before him made sure they’d be there. He should do no less for presidents yet to come.

This on-the-job trainee is endangering the country and costing taxpayers too much.

[ClearCase_guy]

The next president is going to find a box and wonder “What did they used to put in this? It looks like a toolbox, but all the tools are gone.”

[Gator113]

I take no comfort in any of this nonsense..... Obama is not on our side.

Exactly right.

I thought it was interesting that a left wing RAG....Time...basically called him out !

[TigersEye]

Where is the evidence that he has learned anything? Riding on the coat tails of previous president’s decisions doesn’t qualify. His military cuts are still going forward aren’t they?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

One hopes ....Title not in Touch with Reality.

[Minutemen]

Where is he golfing today?
