Three days after the bloody siege on our consulate in Benghazi, the Taliban waged an intricately coordinated, brutal attack on Camp Bastion in Afghanistan. The Taliban animals released video earlier this week showing their jihadi training prep.

Two hero U.S. Marines were killed in the battle. Their names — Lt. Col. Christopher Raible and Sgt. Bradley Atwell — have not been uttered publicly by the commander-in-chief. Their arrival back in the U.S. was not broadcast on network TV. But their brothers-in-arms did not and will not forget.

Not mentioned??
DUH....

So it absolutely must be ignored.

” - - - …The upcoming presidential debates will give Mitt Romney the opportunity to hold Obama’s feet to the fires burning because of his reckless and failed foreign policy. Obama’s record abroad is just as disastrous as his economic record at home, but so far Romney has not done enough to make Americans confront Obama’s record. - - - “

Yup.

Duplicitous bastard!

Once the American populace knows they can vote themselves a living, and Obama will write the check... well, it becomes a numbers game. I’d still like to believe there are more of us there are of them.
