Bush’s fault Obama had to do what Bush did not want him to do!

Is the World still fawning over the One?

roger that

neither he , nor all the furtive , non-elected , so-called national security staff he surrounds himself with have any right whatsoever to all a stain to develop upon the sacrifice and the honor of all of our forces that fought for an won these regions in the past . May God damn these clueless civilian bastards . I hope the an enlightened military leader will rise up and rip power out of their fetid hands . Before it’s too late . I really believe that our electorate has been dummed down to such an extent that it is now incapable of electing anyone that can or will truly protect or sustain our great nation . We have thrown our most precious pearls to abject swine . Personally , I am not willing to just accept that .

Obama lies about anything related to our national security and the conquests of Islam. When he finally leaves the white house don’t be surprised to see him cheering on the jihadists.

Is Allegra still around? Haven’t seen her post for well over a year.


She hasn’t posted in almost 3 ½ years :(

Would be interested in her take on what’s going on.


Same here.

We know he lies. Makes me wonder if the story about the raid on Saturday is the truth.

Not only all of what you said but once we went into
these countries we created a responsibility to ensure
their security till they could stand up a stable
democratic form of government able to withstand
external threats.

Obama’s withdrawal in order to appease his antiwar base
left the Iraqi people in a vulnerable position.
Now they are asking for our help and it’s nowhere
to be found, it does not reflect well on us and history
will judge this administration harshly, in terms of
trust lost in our form of government.

We, as Americans can’t be bothered with this. Kim Kardashian and Silley Mirus just posted another selfie on Facetweetgram.

Gasp! This deserves a thread of its own!!! Who cares about Ramading-dong or whatever it is, SELFIE news is important!!

Besides, Ramifingfing isnt that in Japan? Didn't we beat those guys in World War I? Or no, the Civil War right? Racist cowards got what they deserved.

They are just the JV team. Anyone can see that! I mean, that’s what the JV team does, they win battles and take territory. Anyone who played high school sports knows that.

we elected a coward and an incompetent , who surrounds himself with other cowards and incompetents , and our Mil forces and those that are veterans deserve better than that .

After the war in Vietnam/Laos/Cambodia hardly a thought was given to those that fought and died in those conflicts , or upholding the honor and sacrifice for what they did . There too we let the native people who depended upon us down . Millions died . All so a raft of s#itty Leftist American politicians could appease their non-serving whining civilian base ? And now we are doing it again ??? How can we let them get away with this again . How ? It is not their right . I say depose and annul

Leo, you are so right with that post. It’s the truth, it stinks, and everyone buried their head in the sand. I, as well as many others, saw it for ourselves with our own eyes.
IF a young person today totally considered these ciercumstances, I suspect that the volunteer rate for military would drop quite dramatically. Leftest liberals are outright communists but very few will challenge them on it. America will fall from within because of these buttholes. Yeah, they need to be held totally accuntable. Too many lawyers and not enough patriots in DC.

I don’t know you, Leo, and I appreciate the sentiment to a degree. Unfortunately, you cannot implement a Republic through military means. Do you know that Hannibal could have taken Rome?

America isn’t Rome; we are Carthage.

The fall of the Roman Empire was benign by comparison.

Obama is derelict, the world is suffering due to his ineptitude and/or his direct actions to weaken our country and to allow mass murders thorughout the world.

the Republic can be restored after the fight is won . Civilians will never win this war. They may claim to wina few fights , but then they lose the war . ie: Vietnam . Millions died because America insists on keeping all power in civilian hands , no matter how badly they screw up . We are facing a situation far far worse than Vietnam , or arguably , even communism itself . The Islamitization of planet earth . What can resist this ? A bunch of civilian politicians put into office by a now totally corrupted and gamed 21st century political process in the USA? If we continue to rely on that we are doomed . As a people and a nation . The caliber of people we allow to be elected and put into power in this country are not deserving of the oaths that our Armed Forces swear to them . It’s time to change that .
