On Jan. 20, 2007, five American soldiers were killed and three seriously wounded in Iraq.
As Bill Roggio relates at the Long War Journal, it was a daring operation: a twelve-man terrorist team disguised as U.S. servicemen attacked our troops as they held a previously arranged meeting with local officials in Karbala. Four of the soldiers were alive when they were abducted from the scene. They were handcuffed and murdered in a remote location when the coalition forces attempting to rescue them closed in. ...
That President Obama has exchanged a terrorist for hostages is now obvious, as should be the disastrous consequences. ... In the wake of Laith Qazali’s release, the Asaib al-Haq network was unsatisfied; it continued to demand the release of its leader, Qais Qazali, and that of Daqduq. The terrorists did, however, release two of their British hostages, or, to be precise, their corpses ... Back in May 2008, in a speech before the Israeli Knesset, President Bush derided the “foolish delusion” of unidentified, naïve politicians who “seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along.” Exhibiting a thin-skinned consciousness of guilt, Sen. Barack Obama assumed Bush had been referring to him, and lashed out: “George Bush knows that I have never supported engagement with terrorists.”

A despicable illegitimate president.
Yes, it’s more than worthy of reposting optiguy.
Than you.
IMO, Hussein and the entire Congress aren’t worthy of kissing the bottom of this soldier’s boots.
Killed in action the week before, the body of Staff Sergeant John C. Beale was returned to Falcon Field in Peachtree City Georgia, just south of Atlanta, on June 11, 2009. The Henry County Police Department escorted the procession to the funeral home in McDonough Georgia. A simple notice in local papers indicated the road route to be taken and the approximate time.
Nowadays one can be led to believe that America no longer respects Honor and that outside of the military, no one honors the sacrifices by members of the military. Be it known that there are many places in this land where people still recognize the courage and sacrifices of the men and women in uniform. Georgia remains one of those graceful places.
The link below is a short travelogue of that day’s remarkable and painful journey. Watch this film clip if you wish to have your faith in people restored.

Tough to watch. Thank God for heroes like Sgt. Beale.
What do we expect?
To what end? Other than emboldening terrorists everywhere with the message that the way to gain American concessions is to kidnap Americans and American allies, all we have achieved by freeing a murderer of American soldiers is the retrieval of two British murder victims when we’d been led to believe that all five hostages still were alive.
And still there is the implied threat that, if Qais Qazali and Ali Mussa Daqduq are not released soon, the other three British hostages — assuming they are still alive — will be murdered."

Coupled with all the 0 has already done, including condemning the Tiller killer while reserving faint outrage for the muslim who murdered the US soldier and the news of the new rules of engagement for Afghanistan, including this sickening recounting of the Jones' meeting with the officers in charge ..
At the briefing for Jones, Nicholson pointed to the mission statement, which said that "killing the enemy is secondary." His campaign plan states, "Protect the populace by, with and through the ANSF," the Afghanistan National Security Forces, which makes the absence of the additional Afghans particularly galling to Nicholson. .... we are truly DOOMED.
I wish our guys could come home ... away from the Taliban monsters, to protect and save them from the whims and twisted fantasies of this muslim-appeasing, radical, anti-American, and cold-blooded CIC and his jaw dropping insanity. God be with them.
sick.
Thanks for the ping Starwise!
(((hugs dear))) & Happy Independance Day! :)
Thank you .. same to you. Keep praying for our guys and gals.
amen & will do! :)
xoxoxo
Look for more hostage taking now that the enemy has a wimp to negotiate with.
Obi-one thinks he knows better than all those who have gone before him combined.
And every single citizen, without exception, who voted for him is even more traitorous and despicable.
Each and every one of them will have to be dealt with when this is over.
The founders dealt with their back-stabbing traitors. We need to take a lesson from them.
Every time I drive by some moron with an obaama sticker on its car I look to see what the face of an idiot looks like and refrain from running them off the road.
I'm the same way and I almost followed through when I came up behind a woman driving a mini-van with the bumper sticker "Republicans for Obama." Had we not been travelling 75 mph I would have at least gotten her attention to ask her "How's that working out for you?"
Last year several months before the election, I made this statement:
“Obama is a Muslim plant.”
The year before that, when Obama formally announced his candidacy, I wrote several letters to WND saying that Obama was sympathetic to 9/11 Arab Muslim hijackers, and that’s why he removed his flag pin after 9/11, and why he stated in his (Ayers’) book, “Audacity,” and at the 2004 DNC, that he would “stand with the them [Arab Muslims] when the political winds take an ugly turn.”
The Left jumped all over me for that. Then I found Pastor Manning’s YouTube videos (ATLAH.org) where he called Obama, the “Ultimate Sleeper Cell,” and realized that I was not alone.
Then, when ZERO was “elected,” he proceeded to do everything that a Marxist Muslim would do, and then, when he gave his Cairo speech where he not only threw Israel to the wolves, but is now demanding the ethic cleansing of Jews from their homeland, I said to myself, “That’s the last straw.”
We have every right to hate this despicable man and those who put this traitor and usurper into office — who keep defending him at every turn. They attack us, but they who defend this traitor are traitors themselves.
They call us “rightwing extremists,” but they forget that we are also God-fearing, America-loving, law-abiding “rightwing extremists,” who are getting really close to the tipping point.
They have the gall to call us, “terrorists,” because we are not only exercising out 1st Amendment rights, but also telling the truth about the Xenophobic megalomaniac they worship.
And they still say he’s not a Muslim!
Not once. Not even for a split-second, have the Leftist Libtards in this country ever expressed their love of this country, and THAT to me, says it all.
I fully believe that Obama is part of a sleeper cell, call me crazy if you want.
He has gone out of his way to suck up to the Muslims and bowing to the “Keeper of Mecca” and attempting to kiss his ring which was custom for thousands of years, proved it to me.
The guys that I know in the military are sickened that this ass is Commander in Chief.
Very good post, Polarik.
I fully agree.
While not overtly admitting once anything, if you follow Zero's deeds and forget everything he says it all points to him being a Muslim plant.
The Iranian election, Iran and the nukes his policies toward Israel, even the way he finally relented when our Capt. was taken by the three Somali pirates, it all points to a bias towards the Muslim point of view.
Awesome video!! Thanks for posting. Especially fitting for this 4th of July.
