Evil they are. They have blamed the attack on America on US Patriots and the US military.

It seems Barack Obama has a new presidential role model, at least as far as national de fense is concerned: Dwight Eisenhower. But the Ike that Obama likes isn't the easy-going golfing geezer -- and certainly not the grim Cold Warrior who promised massive nuclear retaliation on the enemy if they started any serious trouble.
No, this is the Ike who slashed America's defense budget by more than a quarter after the Korean War, and who, according to Defense Secretary Robert Gates, was willing to "make hard choices" about where American military might should be used, and where it shouldn't.
That was the message Gates conveyed in a May 8 speech at the Eisenhower Library on the future of America's national defense -- echoing Obama's own praise for Ike at West Point Dec. 1.
To the Obama team, the Eisenhower years represent an America aware of its strategic limits and willing to just say "no" to more money for the Pentagon. "The gusher" of post-9/11 military spending is going to be shut off, Gates announced, for "a good period of time."
The fact is, America is being set up for a sharp decline in our ability to project military force and protect vital interests.

That picture of him with the ‘Post American World’ book would have finished off any other presidential candidate, but not him...no..no that would be racist.
A couple of trillions of dollars later and tens of thousands of destroyed US lives later, we have an Iranian controlled Iraq and US blood and treasure keeping heroin drug lords and pedophiles in power in Afghanistan which has done virtually nothing to solve the problem we set out to address. Of course political correctness prevents us from even identifying the problem, but we threw money in its direction just so we could say we were doing something. If money could have solved our problems, we’d be fat and happy and ruling the world instead of fat and in rapid decline. Past time to bring troops home from conflicts and most foreign bases and concentrate on securing borders and ports, addressing the looming fiscal disaster and giving up the delusion that we are saving the world as the world colludes to destroys us through or own assumed nobility. Retreat is either going to be done by choice or by necessity, but retreat is in our future. WE have to admit it and direct it to purposes of preserving out own liberty, or others, like Obama, will direct towards their purposes.
Ike was a RINO and gave us the worst RINO ever ... Nixon.
