Fort Bragg, NC – The White House Press Office announced today that President Obama will soon be inducted into the Special Forces Association and receive an honorary Green Beret.

Officials have said the honor will be bestowed in an upcoming September 11th ceremony at Fort Bragg.

The honorary beret comes in recognition of the President’s decisive role in covert operations throughout the world during his term — including the killing of Osama bin Laden last year in Pakistan, and his combat action in Afghanistan months ago.

Secretary of Defense Allen West will fix this bull**** once he takes charge of the five-sided ‘RAT whorehouse in January. I see a big house cleaning and fumigation coming for that joint.

During a late afternoon briefing, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney fielded questions, including one about the possibility of the President also receiving a Navy SEAL trident.

“The President has in fact already received his Trident from the SEAL community,” said Carney. “He was honored to accept the insignia during a private ceremony in California, a week after his gutsy call where he singlehandedly took out bin Laden.”

When Carney was asked who had initiated the calls for President Obama to be given the illustrious honors, he hesitated before replying, “we’ll dig into it.”

Pentagon officials, taking note of the President’s extensive knowledge and experiences in special operations throughout the world, is also exploring the possibility of making him an honorary member of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR), 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta, the Air Force 24th Special Tactics Squadron, and Marine Corps Force Reconnaissance Company.

I cannot think of anyone who deserves it less! Who’s idea was this anyway? A ham-fisted ploy to play up Obama’s “manliness” or his patriotism? He despises the military! I doubt he knows how to fire a gun or even do a pull up. This is about as stupid as him winning the Nobel Peace Prize for talking about peace after a few months in office! I can imagine a lot of REAL Green Berets are even more disgusted by this. What’s next, an honorary bishopric?

Will he review a contingent of the Black Panther Honor Guard B4 or after the ceremony?

OK, how many generals will get a 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd and 1st star for this farce? And will someone please post that pansy picture of Obama cringing as two guys are showing off their Martial Arts skills.

LOL! Why do I always fall for this? Ironically, I wouldn't put it past Obama to ask for it - maybe Panetta WOULD do it. That IS saying something about what we already know concerning the narcissist in chief. Lord, please let us be rid of him after January and may we be forever preserved from hearing his voice or seeing his face again!

He should be ashamed of himself. Nothing can tarnish the Special Forces. It shows what a sham this fool is.
