Ten More Brave Souls

Ten US soldiers killed in Afghanistan

Ten more brave Americans died yesterday in that worthless spit of land called Afghanistan. Fighting a war that our media tells us the American people no longer support. Yet that same media? They tell us that a majority of Americans want to utilize military strikes to address the Iranian nuclear threat.

Ten more dead Americans in Afghanistan and what did our president do after receiving that news? Apparently he carried on with his personal plans for the evening and went out on an anniversary date with his wife in Washington. I suppose it could have been worse, instead of going to a local restaurant in the DC area, he could have opted to jet her back down to New York for the date (like he did last time) or even all the way back to Chicago for the occasion. After all, it's not like he doesn't have a fleet of executive aircraft at his disposal and an army of support staff to cater to his every whim.

I mention the presidential date only as a point of demonstrating the context, in comparison to what is going on right now in this administration. Especially as it concerns this president's perceptions of his duties and responsibilities to the people of America and how he approached those duties and responsibilities. Is it even possible to criticize the appearances that this president is purposely giving to both Americans and the rest of the world by his lackidasical attitudes?.

IMO, many of his presidential decisions to this point, have been an ongoing series of catastrophic errors in judgment. And these errors are continuing to threaten the safety of this country and it's military personnel currently stationed in harm's way. He is demonstrating daily his abject inability to lead this nation or to recognize the relevance of his actions or their influence and effect on the nation's safety and our enemies.

His actions are not only having an adverse effect here in America, but also around the world and especially in the Muslim world. Our enemies recognize the weakness being demonstrated and they are acting as a result of it.

There were many Americans Friday who were absolutely shattered over the loss of the 2016 Olympic bid by the city of Chicago and they immediately sought to blame the loss on America's image globally. Of course they blamed the Bush administration for that image, never once considering that president Obama, as apologist in chief for the past nine months, has weakened this nation and invited the collective disdain of the world.

But more importantly IMO, his actions have led to an emboldenment of our enemies in Afghanistan and Iraq and that emboldenment is continuing to increase daily. AL Quaida and Bin Ladin are daily growing stronger and these coordinated attacks on our personnel in Afghanistan are evidence of the new found inspiration that this president has given our enemies.

It has not gone un-noticed in the past two weeks that our president has been revealed to have all but ignored the war and his recently appointed general in charge in Afghanistan. And obviously our enemies have taken note and chosen to increase their efforts and push harder in order to advance their efforts in Afghanistan. They will soon be doing the same in Iraq as we are now abandoning our hard won victory there.

Only a fool would fail to recognize the correlation between what is happening over the past three months in Afghanistan and Iraq and the policies and lack of leadership being demonstrated by this president.

Meanwhile, many of our nation's most precious and cherished resources are being placed in direct jeopardy and killed due to the abject stupidity and arrogance of this man.

My father use to say.....that we should never become angry with people because they were ignorant. Their ignorance simply demonstrated that they didn't know any better. But he said....... that when it came to stupidity, there was absolutely no excuse. Stupidity meant that you knew better, yet you chose to be stupid and act stupidly knowing the consequences.

Is there any doubt that this president isn't ignorant of his actions? Can he possibly be so stupid as to not recognize that his ignoring the war in Afghanistan while focusing his attention on his socialist health care reform bill and parochial issues like the Chicago Olympic bid, have inspired our enemies to take notice and take advantage of his demonstrated weakness. Can he possibly be so stupid as to not understand that weakness in the face of tyranny, murder and terror only leads to more of the same?

Personally? I don't believe the man to be either ignorant or stupid. Which leaves only the reality. And that reality is no more complicated to understand, than to recognize and acknowledge that this president is a committed Fabian socialist and one who is hell bent to destroy and dismantled as much of this country and what has made it the leader of the world as he possibly can.

Yes, ten more brave Americans died in Afghanistan yesterday and this president could give a shit less. all you have to do is watch and observe his actions and responses to know that.
