“Rat’s hate military victories. zer0 is looking forward to that scene. zer0 is teaching America, while humbling the military.”

The military is not going to stand for this much longer.

They have been begging for troops. They have been begging for a strategy. They have been left high and dry.

This is the worst month for troop deaths in Afghanistan since the war started.

Directly as a result of the Obama administrations policies of not supporting US troops.

Obama’s lack of leadership has killed American troops.

There is NO doubt.

“That is exactly why I want them home”

Could be the best thing to do at this point. These lives are precious. Let Iraq and Afghanistan control their own people. Isn’t our satellite system developed enough to where we can monitor terrorist training activity without putting troops on the ground?

“Isn’t our satellite system developed enough to where we can monitor terrorist training activity without putting troops on the ground?”

Not to be sarcastic, but all we’re going to monitor is the same kind of bloodbath we got in SE Asia the last damn time these same politicians screwed up.

Only thing we’re missing is the media slandering the troops and I’d swear we were all back in 1969 again.

He’s in Florida at a power plant that uses some solar energy. Crist didn’t know Obama was in the state. Dumb and dumber within this paragraph.

Exactly

they are dying at much worse rates since this bonehead came in and will not make a decision.
He would rather have his white house bands and concerts on Wednesday nights, date nights on Fridays, never works weekends and has played more golf in 9 months than what Bush did in his entire time.

Then his wife who has done no role as first lady at all goes on vacations and enjoys her entertainment at nights.

I mean what the hell do these two idiots ever do and why is not one person asking what the first lady does or what her charities are?

These two will go down as the laziest president and first lady in history.

Give a frigging decision either way WILL YOU

no he and his wife have not done anything but go on vacation and be on the campaign trial.

Not even church gets in this man and womans way, no they have their entertainment at nights, golf at weekends and these two wars are getting much worse as is Russia, Israel, Hamas, Iran, N Korea

these dumb voters who voted for this idiot because they thought it was cool or this was American idol should be made to go over these and realise that their voting is killing folks because he cannot make a decision.

Remember it took 5 days for him when Russia invaded Georgia and then asked Georgia to show restraint

that was a massive red flag there for the dumbest voters this country has ever produced

Hey MO and bozo, it is high time to stop the bands and date nights and do some work for once in your life

well gold is his excuse for not finding that church you know

course I expect our so called media to ask why his wife has done nothing but vacation and why this idiot is playing golf and being entertained or even why they keep going on vacation and campaigning .

Notice how things are getting worse and they still blame Bush when Iraq was better under Bush and so was Afghanistan.
Our enemies are laughing and taking advantage while our allies and our best allies are being treated like crap .
The UK has lost more and more men too helping us and he just shuns them

this is a disgrace

“He has and this is it; getting our troops slaughtered

That is the plan, once enough boys are slaughtered he will surrender, he want us embarrassed, and morale crushed...”

The plan of islam being fulfilled. What a SOB he is.
He feels no remorse or obligation since those dying are just infidels; enemies of islam.

Thanks - life is as good as may be expected these dark days.

As much as I disliked Bill Clinton when he was President, I never felt about him the way I feel about the present occupant of that office. I thought Clinton was reckless, shameless, undignified; I never truly thought he would sacrifice his country to the predations of domestic Fascists and international savages.

Bill Clinton was (and remains) mistaken about many things, but he was still undeniably an American - emotionally attached to this land as all Presidents ought to be.

I don't honestly know whether Obama was born on this soil or not, nor will it likely change anything in the short term, but I do know as sure as I breathe that his fundamental attachment lies elsewhere; either to his own personal glory or to that of others whose interests are increasingly at odds with ours.

Worth seeing...very moving based on true events.

TAKING CHANCE

Taking Chance (2009)
In April, 2004, casualties mount in Iraq. At Quantico, choices focus on increasing troop strength or only replacing casualties. Lt. Col. Mike Strobl crunches numbers. Stung by his superior's rejection of his recommendation because he lacks recent combat experience, Strobl volunteers for escort duty, accompanying the remains Pfc. Chance Phelps, killed at 19.
From Dover to Philadelphia by hearse, from there to Minneapolis and on to Billings by plane, and then by car to Phelps' Wyoming home - person after person pays respects. Kind words, small gifts, and gratitude are given Strobl to deliver to the family on this soul-searching journey.

indeed

our enemies have acted up
then two wars since bozo has been in has got much worse
remember how they said they will talk to the moderate taliban?

Even the taliban laughed at that as their spokesman said there is no moderates.

They even think he is a joke as does the rest of the world

My sister is in the UK and the folks over there are saying obama has no clue what he is doing and how he is way over his head.

they think he is a joke while their men and women are dying over there helping us.

The left wanted to be liked around the world so in their miind it means our enemies might like us if we give in.
Meanwhile our allies are pissed off with bozo, our enemies are laughing and we as the UK are losing men and women fighting a war
