Dangers Rise as America Retreats
wsj.com ^ | 9/10/2016 | Dick Cheney/Liz Cheney

Posted on 09/10/2016 7:07:08 AM PDT by rktman

Fifteen years ago this Sunday, nearly 3,000 Americans were killed in the deadliest attack on the U.S. homeland in our history. A decade and a half later, we remain at war with Islamic terrorists. Winning this war will require an effort of greater scale and commitment than anything we have seen since World War II, calling on every element of our national power.

Defeating our enemies has been made significantly more difficult by the policies of Barack Obama. No American president has done more to weaken the U.S., hobble our defenses or aid our adversaries.

President Obama has been more dedicated to reducing America’s power than to defeating our enemies. He has enhanced the abilities, reach and finances of our adversaries, including the world’s leading state sponsor of terror, at the expense of our allies and our own national security. He has overseen a decline of our own military capabilities as our adversaries’ strength has grown.

Thanks Mr.Cheney and Liz. Of course the comment section in the WSJ is what you'd expect from the radical left wing extremist bunch. If it weren't for Bush and Cheney planting explosives at the bottom of the WTC, this would never have happened. You know so the could enrich themselves by profiting from the war machine. Or something. I'd take Rummy and Cheney over any of these assclowns running things now.

It did not start on 9/11.
Islam has been at war with the rest of the planet since 622 A.D.
Islamics were taking US ships and crews in the late 1700’s.
After Jefferson and the Marines taught them a lesson they left us alone for awhile.

Treason, pure and simple.

I still say it’s his hiphop DJ muzzie girlfriend pumping him full of this crap with the threat of, uh, with-holding certain uh, ‘things’ is he doesn’t play along. Wouldn’t be the first time that’s happened.

I wonder if the National Felon League can get enough players out on parole to fill the teams?

???

Did B\C even ATTEMPT to win the war (’hearts and minds’)? They sure didn’t do SH!T to protect the homeland (open borders). Hell they created and championed MORE Fascism and Federalism (DHS, TSA, NSA), casting each Citizen as a potential threat instead of stemming the ‘welcome mat’ flow from the M.E.

So, excuse me if I fail to stand-up and cheer for the last 15yrs. of do-NOTHING from D.C. and their cabal; while they place further burden upon the FREE peoples of this once Republic.

The infiltration is at local, state and federal levels, and vast in scope and it’s been underway since the late-60s. Only massive computer fraud could have allowed that commie-muslim TWO terms, and I fear it’ll happen again this November.

That’s exactly where the problem lies — we’re fighting Islam as we are led by a muslim. How in hell can you expect to win?

Very good article. Thank you Dick and Liz Cheney.

The money quotes:

"Winning this war will require an effort of greater scale and commitment than anything we have seen since World War II, calling on every element of our national power."

"Defeating our enemies has been made significantly more difficult by the policies of Barack Obama. No American president has done more to weaken the U.S., hobble our defenses or aid our adversaries."

"The president who came into office promising to end wars has made war more likely by diminishing America’s strength and deterrence ability."

"The president’s policies have contributed to our enemies’ advance."

"President Obama and Secretaries of State Hillary Clinton and John Kerry were so concerned with pleasing Iran’s ruling mullahs that they were willing to overlook the American blood on Iranian hands and decades of Iran’s activities as the world’s leading state sponsor of terror. In pursuit of the nuclear deal, they made concession after dangerous concession."

"The Obama-Clinton agreement virtually guarantees an Iranian nuclear weapon, gives them access to the latest in centrifuge technology and will likely usher in a nuclear arms race across the Middle East."

"Fifteen years after 3,000 Americans were killed by Islamic terrorists, America’s commander in chief has become the money launderer in chief for the world’s leading state sponsor of terror."

"Undoing this damage will require an effort of historic proportions. Our next president must abandon Mr. Obama’s fantasy that unilaterally disarming, retreating and abandoning our allies will bring peace and security. We must begin at once to rebuild our military."

"Our next president must recognize that Islamic terrorists pose an existential threat to the U.S., and must instruct the military to provide plans necessary to defeat them and deny them safe havens."

"We must make clear that we will not allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon or become nuclear capable. Our next president should renounce the Obama-Clinton nuclear agreement, develop a strategy in consultation with our allies in the region to address Iran’s state sponsorship of terror, and make clear that all options are on the table where Iran’s nuclear program is concerned."

"Since World War II, America has been freedom’s defender—for ourselves and for millions around the world. We do this because our security depends upon it and because there is no other nation that can."

"As Americans calculate the costs of leadership, we must remember that the costs of failing to lead—or of inaction—are much higher. Imagine a world where Russia, Iran, China and North Korea set the rules; where militant Islam spreads its evil ideology unchallenged across the globe; where parts of Europe are once again enslaved by Russia, our NATO alliance impotent; and where China achieves military superiority over the U.S. and dominates Asia and beyond."

"Finally, imagine a world where the terrorists and their leading state sponsor have nuclear weapons. Fifteen years after 9/11, we can say with certainty that this is the world that will be created by withdrawal and retreat—by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton’s policies—if we don’t reverse course."

I recommend all FReepers read this article. It is very sobering to realize how much we as a nation have deteriorated under Obama's America destroying policies.

I was very somber after reading this, turned on the TV and what do I see? Obama talking about diversity at the DC 9/11 memorial. Will we survive this?

Pray for America and prepare.

The monkey in the white hut shouldn't have won any terms as president because he is NOT a
Natural Born Citizen, and is therefore a traitor and a usurper of the Presidency.

He should be captured, impeached, jailed, and hanged for his attempts to destroy our United
States of America, the very best country that has ever been on this Earth.

Everyone he has elevated to any political office at all should also be in prison for life.
Weasels need to be captured and jailed, always.

And if you hate America, go to Iran. They'll just love you to death there. Seriously.
