Bill Clinton was reelected after Mogadishu.
Shortly after Benghazi in Libya... some distance away in Afghanistan the Taliban took out 8 Harrier jets- caught us flat footed, lost a lot of valuable men. Americans not only forgave that error they don't even know it happened.
Before all that we lost a ton of CIA assets because some chick wanted to throw a birthday party for an asset she didn't know was going to double cross us. Americans not only forgave that error they don't even know it happened.
The casualty rate of US troops nearly tripled under Obama. Americans are oblivious.
And when Obama decided to do his one and only trick and kill OBL, he willingly took the chance of getting a lot of special forces men killed for what to him was just an election year trophy because he darn sure hasn't shown much interest in getting the guy who has been a sharper AQ leader ...Zawahiri the Egyptian.
Shortly after that raid, a bunch of SEALs - not the same guys - were killed when a helicopter went down. Americans didn't take note.
Obama need not worry- he controls and charms the vertical media, he controls and charms the horizontal media. America is the Twilight zone.
Americans deserve what they are getting and what is coming.
People can flame me if they like, but IMO the majority of Americans have earned what is coming.
It’s just a damn shame that the few of us who give a damn about our country will be sucked down the drain with all of them.
Good post piasa....informative to as some of that I wasn't aware of.
But you are right...and Zero knows those who will protect him and shore him up regardless...he's already seen many of his own disastrous blunders covered, right from the beginning so he has a great sense of stability regardless of what he does....or what happened at Bengazi...he knows no fear.
Americans forgave President Reagan after over 200 were killed in Lebanon, without help from Obama. They didn’t even notice when 1/2 a dozen more were killed at the US Embassy in Kuwait later that year. Four to six troops were killed at one time when they went into a bunker trophy hunting and pulled the pin on a booby trap. This was Gulf War I and Bush I, and we never heard about that one either. Also, how the hexx did the CIA manage to loose the plans to the caves of Tora Bora which probably helped in the Bin Laden escape.
War is hexx, and my son is in it so I DO take note. I thought those jets were NATO, not American.
