U.S. military decimated under Obama, only ‘marginally able’ to defend nation

I look at the female FEMA workers, and think of a passage from James Mitchener’s “The Bridge at Andau” about the female Hungarian prison guards, one in particular...

...don’t say it can’t happen here.

All part of his grand plan...

He doesn't have a "grand plan" he is an idiot. He's just implementing Knee Jerk leftest crap that he's heard all his life. It isn't a "plan" so much as it is a collection of silly ideas from leftwing intellectual kooks.

That it's making a mess of everything is baked into the cake. Do you know any left wing governments anywhere that do not make a mess of things?

You are so right.
I'm just afraid that his final move is to surrender to any attack by a foreign entity.
Check mate!

No, they’re not. The Photo is illustrative of what it would look like, not an example of the reality. Yet.

I think this answers the question as to whether Obama loves the United States.

I disagree. He is acting on a plan, not out of ignorance.

Apparently the moderator found something objectionable in my comment. I wonder what it was?

And what, in the known history of Obama incompetence, leads you to believe that this bumbling idiot can formulate a plan of any sort that does not blow up in his face?

I can't think of an Obama plan that has worked correctly. So far it has been a pretty consistent series of failures in everything he tries to do.

Why would anyone be surprised?

Obama was clear before being elected that he thought American hegemony was a bad thing.

Of course he intended to take America down a peg or three if the voters were stupid enough to make him president.

Ability isn’t the problem. Authorization to defend the nation is a whole different matter.

Simply because in the capacity of president of the united states, failing is analogous to Obama’s goals.

Is that forbidden?

Well that's good for him because that's something a bumbling fool can accomplish.

Indeed. AP & Getty, among others, are verboten because they’ll sue.

Is there a list? And whatever happened to "fair use." Doesn't that apply?
