Turn that place to glass.
Obama is like a mob leader..."Get it done" is all that nee be said.
!!!
Obama must act or just resign and flee to Kenya
Sgt. Stryker....Thank you of course for your service. I have had two sons serve as well and one who still does. I for onw am so angered that our troops are telling it like it is and not being heard. There has never been a war I have protested but this business going on in that dump of a country needs to stop. They tie the hands of our troops...and when they do fire they prosecute them...and then turn around and let the Taliban and it's leadership go free. This is worse than insanity...it's treasonous against our boys!!!!!
I would completely support pulling all our troops out and bombing the entire nation....and do it again and again. I am fully convinced the Afhgan gov, military, and it's people have zero interest in protecting their own. Let themgo back to their tribal wars as they will surely be doing so without a doubt!
Thank you for the opportunity to vent my disdain for what is happening over there...I just wish all you men were brought home.. for you deserve the very best in leadership and it's just not happening.
Oh Mesta! I completely agree....I’m just in from a late night at work and so angry and sick about this I could spit nails. The Ap wrote that Obama’s going to sending in special forces to replace the troops coming home! Is this a deliberate attempt to further destroy what military we have left by putting our best in that vile nation to have them taken down as we saw with this copter? Why send in the best of our best to replace troops?
I truly am so livid about the military leadership and Obamas absolute unconcern for our troops overall!!! This needs to stop! Yesturday....or just bomb the whole place and let the survivors go back to taking each other out!
Odd how I can certainly understand why Russia pulled out. It's worse than a cesspool in Afghanistan. I agree we need to get out of there but let's bomb them to hades on the way out....and go back with more to clear out what's left. It's evil and vile nation IMO....and if we don't bomb them and rid the world of these creatures they will multiply and continue to harm, kill, steal, maim and destroy. I am convinced it is their nature....
He was well warned.....but as we know he takes no advice from anyone not agreeing with his destructive intentions. He incites more conflict and hatred then I have known any President to create. It's beyond my understanding until I remember what evil is and how deceptive, vile and revengeful it is.....never thought possible a sitting President of our country could be so.....nor that people could still support this. Any who do are as evil as he is IMO....though like him they have deceived themselves.
I think your use of the term “political” is inaccurate when what I am talking about is the survival of our constitutional republic, and our way of life, and probably the wellbeing and perhaps even the lives of everyone you hold dear. I’m not talking (D) vs (R) here: I’m talking about the future of the freedoms enumerated in the Declaration vs tyranny.
Is this not what the Seals were willing to risk death for? I can’t get real maudlin over whether they might have lived longer and had their efforts and lives wasted in yet further lost causes that had absolutely nothing to do with the factors in my first paragraph above. But if their deaths were, even inadvertently, the cause of something worthwhile being achieved along those lines, then they will not have died in vain.
I volunteered to put my life in harm’s way during Vietnam. If by my death, (and there were those that would have also considered me “beloved”) I had contributed to something that would have truly enhanced those factors above, rather than contributing to some idiotic folly dreamed up by politicians, globalists, and the military-industrial complex, I would have considered it a worthwhile death.
Perhaps too subtle. Focus on whatever thoughts and feelings you want. Those are mine. Sorry if you find that focus unconscionable.
>> He incites more conflict and hatred then I have known any President to create...
No doubt.
My wife’s friend’s son was part of SEAL Team 6. We were praying all day that he may have not been involved. His parents were notified this afternoon that he was on the chopper.
My family now has a link to this F’d up war in Afghanistan.
I do not believe in coincidence. These special forces soldiers were served up as sacrifices from someone within the Obozo Admin. We may not survive Obozo’s first term.
The death of those on that helicopter would not need to have involved anyone in our military providing the enemy with information. That information would have been provided by diplomatic means, if this was not an accident. I smell rotten fish.
"Well, looking at my day planner, I have a tee time Wednesday at 10AM, a pick up basketball game tomorrow at 11, and Moochie has me doing some childrens BS on Monday at 8. Can we schedule this SEAL tribute speech like 2 weeks from now? Yeah, get back to me, I'll be at the links at Camp David in about an hour, call me on my Blackberry."
Up to this point, I believed that Obama would get re-elected, now I believe this will kill his chances, in fact, I expect fairly soon, to see some Democrats announce they will oppose him in the primaries.
Please tell your friends that our prayers are with them. I think that goes for everyone here. I am so very, very sorry. This has been one of the worst days in a long time. Flashbacks to memories I have been trying to overcome. Then something like this happens, and it’s as if the years have never passed. It’s all a wide upen wound that never heals.
There aren’t enough tears. It’s never enough anger. You just bleed. Slowly. And wish time had stopped somewhere before all this.
God bless and keep you and your loved ones.
General McInerny, just now on Fox, is ALSO questioning the large number of SEALS aboard that helo, as well as the fact that there were afghan troops on board with them. He says this is a VERY valid question. So it isn’t just us who think this is rotten. And HE wonders who the hell was in charge of this *op* because this just isn’t normal.
He also said it’s time to stop trying to win *hearts and minds* over there and just do it.
That photo? Someone was calling to tell him “Mission accomplished.”
24 hours have passed and I am still seething from this! There is more rage inside me than I have felt for such a long time and it’s so terrible! I keep seeing these guys. I keep picturing the families. I keep thinking about this bluelipped bastard insisting on MEETING SEAL TEAM 6 face to face. WHY???
Why did he INSIST on doing that even after he was told he shouldn’t? From a purely narcissistic point of view, you could believe that he thought he was bestowing an honor on them...but NOW when I think about it, I wonder if it was his intention to positively identify them.
G-d help us. This is what is sitting in the highest office in our country, and nobody seems willing or able to do anything about it.
