Everybody will test the new Admin. Speculating that one or another country or group might try something is nearly guessing that the sun will rise tomorrow in the east.

He wants to gut the military.
We’d be sitting ducks to our nuked-up enemies.

Amazing video:

The same kind of terrorists who support Obama did this:

Never apologize for them.
Never appease them.
Never forget.

I’ve got some guns and some ammo that say that’s never going to happen to me. I’d rather fight to the death.

From the article:

“....The minute you’re inaugurated, you will be tested.’ He’ll say, ‘Oh, you mean like Kennedy was with the Bay of Pigs?’ He’ll show me some way that he’s thought about that some time ago. The guy is absolutely scary smart.”

What is SCARY is that Obama has retired generals thinking he is ‘scary smart’ just because he knows about the ‘Bay of Pigs’!!

(BIG EYE ROLL)

The stupidity of the liberals never ceases to amaze and alarm...LOL

I dunno about that, but one thing is certain..They will take over Iraq the minute Obama pulls our troops out!!

Talk about high energy prices..wait until Iraq’s oil is controlled by Islamic terrorists and barbarians!

The story quotes "retired Gen. Merrill McPeak, a former Air Force chief of staff and an Obama campaign co-chairman" as saying Obama is "absolutely scary smart."

Or maybe absolutely scary slick.

Well then, we have nothing to worry about. We'll just put the general election on hold until the Dems decide and Hillary approves the seating of the Florida and Michigan delegates and which metrics will be used to decide the winner.

In the meantime , the office of the president will be filled on a monthly rotating basis between the heads of state of the 15 poorest nations as part of an executive exchange program allowing them to gain valuable experience with which to uplift their countries into prosperity equal to the USA!

I’m sure their thinking is better to do it early in the new administration so everyone can still blame Bush!

Though why would they want to embarrass President Obama when they have such a soft spot for him?

I’m pretty sure we’ve explained to terrorist-exporting countries that if we’re attacked again, whichever country donated the terrorist gets it back 10-fold.

I really don’t think that al Qaeda will challenge McCain. He is just crazy enough that his response might not be a measured response. People can criticize George W. Bush for lots of things but Dubya understands how AQ thinks better than his critics do. AQ figured out the math: we knock down two buildings, Bush takes out two governments friendly to AQ. AQ loses big on those exchanges. IMO, that is why we haven’t seen any major terrorist attacks against U.S. interests since 9/11.

General McPeak is just proving what my military friends have always told me: it doesn’t take brains to become a general.

I want to agree, but terror attacks are usually planned years in advance. The planning and preparation for an attack already took place before Obama decided to run for office.

They'll probably attack us and release a tape saying they did it for revenge, but are willing to sit down with Barry to end their conflict with us.

>>but are willing to sit down with Barry to end their conflict with us. <<

I don’t think so. The only end to this conflict that would be satisfactory to them, is if our nation falls and they take over, converting us, or killing us.

He would only be a tool of irony to help meet those ends. But, That would happen no matter who won I think. They won’t quit. Not ‘til they’re all dead, or we are.

Barry might be even more of a target for them being an apostate in their eyes.

And no, I’d never take the bhurka either. I’d rather stand to my death than crawl in submission. God, Country, Family.
