Let's HOPE this Major offensive in Afghanistan will be on the Drug Lord's there and their fields to. I know, our U.S. Marines will "GIT-R-DONE!". But will Obama and Hillary?.

Obama kept his promise to engage tyrants by exchanging pleasantries with Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez and starting low level talks with the Iranian Mullahacracy, which has now turned on its own citizens to keep an iron grip on power.

North Korea, feeling slighted by the Obama Administration, brazenly conducted a nuclear test and continues to threaten America and our allies through bellicose rhetoric.

He instructed that the phrase War on Terror be discarded for overseas contingency operations and acts of terrorism renamed the Orwellian term man-caused disasters. And Obama signed an executive order to close Guantanamo Bay, but has no plan on where to move the terrorists except to the United States as his apology tour of Europe yielded no takers, save one, for any of the prisoners.
The liberal media would have you believe that President Obama has already rebuilt America's image in the eyes of the world.

That our country is now safer and more secure.

let us all remember those troops in our thoughts and prayers this weekend as we celebrate Independence Day!
Where is Obama's Name? | 12:40 p.m. July 2, 2009
We have launched a military aggression in a foreign country. This article does not mention Obama's name anywhere. He has been very carefull to not associate himself publicly on war but only one guy can give the command to attack...

It is interesting to see that Obama's name is not mentioned. Where are all the "Hollywood Star" protesters now? They are not so loud now that "their" man is in office. I think I will e-mail Letterman....

To all are screaming that Obama's name is not mentioned in the article, it is obvious that you have not even read the article that you are ranting about. He was mentioned three or four times by name and was referred to as "the president" in the second to last paragraph. The war in Afghanistan was, and still is where the terrorists are. They never were in Iraq when we invaded. Obama is doing the right thing by concentrating our effort in Afghanistan.

Not a word from Sarandon, The Dixie Chicks, Springsteen, Baldwin, Striesand, HufPo, Daily Kooks, Rocky Anderson, Pelosi, Ried, Dick Turban Durbin, Slobbering Barney Frank, John Kerry, Murtha, CAIR, Cindy Sheehan, Code Pink, the World Community.......
Liberalism at it's finest. Cheap, empty, gutless, traitorous.
Thank You... | 5:48 p.m. July 2, 2009

I thought our new form of Obama combat was to "apologize them to death", obviously our military didn't get the memo! Honor our troops by voting out OBAMA~!

You're there now men! The fallen are testiment of your resolve. Everyone on earth knows the marines are not leaving until the mission is complete. You now fight for a better world. Look around at the faces of the women and children. You are their hope! General Nicholson will get you there.

You engage when ordered to and disengage only after commanded to do so. We ask the impossible of you time and again and you do it. You pay the ultimate price so the rest of us don't have to. With all we are, Thank you and GOD BLESS!! Happy Fourth of July Warriors!!! OOOH RAHH
