I never thought I would say this, but withdraw our troops from everywhere they are stationed overseas. Do it now to save their lives from being wasted.
Guess which one of the above is expendable.

So far, by my count, Obama is 0 for 3.
Give them what they need or bring them home. Why do I suddenly feel like I've been here before?
Yeah, that a$$hat Bob Beckel on Hannity last night said that 22,000 died yesterday from being denied health care. Sean said back at him where does he get his statistics...no response. Bob Beckel makes me sick, he always praises The One as the best economic president in history ever, says it every time he is on Hannity. I imagine he thinks he’s the best war time prez too.
God rest the souls of our brave military.
If anyone thinks it is a coincidence that 2009 has had a huge upsurge in activity against our troops, it isn’t.
Even pig-headed tribal tyrants who don’t understand anything else, can easily take the measure of a man like Barack Obama. Things were not rosy under President Bush, but under this man, they have the green light.
I pray for our men and women in harm’s way.
“No Decision is a Decision”
That is a fact!
A transnational movement cannot not be stopped in a country, nor will putting our soldiers in harms way to save a people who don't want to save themselves solve the problem.
The Middle East and Afghanistan in general will never have peace nor should we central plan their future when we won't even safe guard our own borders and country.
He won’t until it’s politically expedient for him to do so. This SOB doesn’t care one whit about families losing their brave loved ones. It’s all about HIM.
Ditto.
Obama’s General asked for 40,000 troops in AUGUST.
Prayers for All our dear Soldiers.
A Soldier’s Prayer

“We are pinned down. We are running low on ammo. We have no air. We’ve lost today,” Marine Maj. Kevin Williams, 37, said through his translator to his Afghan counterpart, responding to the latter’s repeated demands for helicopters.

“...The Marines and Soldiers that are ‘holding’ territories of dubious worth like Now Zad and Golestan without reinforcement, denial of fire-support and refusal to allow them to hunt and kill the very enemy we are there to confront are nothing more than sitting ducks. Denying them even the ability to fight, which is their only purpose for existing, to defend themselves in a foreign land that sees them first as agents of the devil is detestable to the secular world and immoral to the rest of us. And for those of us with ‘vested interests’ thrust into that foreign land; it angers us. The links I have provided will give you some indication of the insanity of the current situation and the suicidal position this administration has placed these Warriors in. I admonish this administration and all those currently in public office whom we have entrusted with our security, well-being and the very lives and well-being of the best of us, our Warriors to start acting like you actually care or even understand the consequences of ludicrous decisions like this one. I then hold you responsible to actively seek to change this immoral policy to one that allows our Warriors the opportunity to do what they were trained to do; destroy our enemies and protect our citizenry...”

Too busy traveling to the Navy base in Jacksonville extolling on his great support for the military.
He’s toooo busy on the golf course....
We can blow the ass off a gnat halfway across the world with weapons that use less computing power than a Wii.
WHY IS THIS CHUMP STILL D*CKING AROUND ON THIS?
Let our troops blow harm out of their way or let us get them out of harm’s way!
PICK ONE!

...God bless you and your son. You’ll be in my families prayers tonight. My nephew (like a son) is going in November. He’s pretty pumped up!

“...With the deaths of two troops on Sunday, a total of 24 Americans — most of them military — have been killed in a 48-hour period. That makes October 2009, with 58 fatalities, the deadliest month for the U.S. military since the Afghanistan war began in October 2001.”

Though we don’t know their names yet, they live in our hearts...
