The Video Did It, Not Terrorists

Harrier

Here’s a little photograph I bet you will never see on the evening news.  It shows one of the VMA-211 Harriers destroyed on the attack on Camp Bastion.  The press is still busy discussing a YouTube video from last July as the possible cause of unrest in the middle east, and is still pretty much ignoring the attacks on Camp Bastion and other locations… In this instance in Afghanistan, there is little doubt that the Taliban was specifically targeting the Harrier aircraft to reduce the effectiveness of NATO patrols in the Helmund province….  Makes you realize that all this talk about our just being involved in a “peace keeping” mission is a lot of wishful thinking on the part of politicians…

Decisions, Decisions, Oh Dear What Am I to Do?

Posted on 03/12/2009 by Grumpa Joe

     I’m glad the rules of football require time limits on making decisions.  Can you imagine any football game if  it took the coaches hours to make a decision about the next play while the players stood on the sideline freezing their butts off. If the Commander-in-Chief (CIC) continues to run the war as he has, Congress will have to begin passing laws limiting the amount of time the Chief has to make a decision. Of course, with the ass kissing Democratic Congress we have now, it is highly probable that Congress would write the law requiring twelve months to make any decision that was not on the Liberal Left agenda. If POTUS were the coach of an NFL team he’d have more pressure on him then he does as Commander-in-Chief. 

    Being that POTUS is a basketball player, I have to believe he understands the concept of winning. He leaves me wondering if he has the same philosophy when it comes to beating hostile tribes who are hell-bent on destroying the United States. Then again, he is doing a pretty good job of that himself. Could it be that he is one of them?

    POTUS gave an un-inspiring speech at West Point the other night. In it, he openly announced his game plan for the war. I’m sure the Taliban has already begun an exodus from Afghanistan to begin a holiday that will last until September 2011.  After our troops begin to pull out, the Taliban and Al Qaeda will begin their hostility anew.  In the meantime we will have spent another sixty billion dollars plus for nothing.  POTUS confirms Sadam Hussein’s prediction that the US has no stomach for war and that we would leave the mid-east after a very short time.

CIC will attempt to pull Euorpean countries into the fray to assist him in his mission. As usual, they will all have more important things on their plates. POTUS will be forced to take it on all by himself. We all know he won’t do that. He’ll leave and quit even though he has openly declared, in the war against the people of the U.S on Health Care Reform, that he is not a quitter. 

POTUS needs to learn Ronald Reagan’s policy regarding war; “we win they lose.”

Another Point of View

Posted on 19/11/2009 by Grumpa Joe

I’d like to hear what the U.S. Generals, Eisenhower, Patton, and Schwarzkopf  have to say about Obama’s fear of making a military decision. It is clear to me that if Obama was Commander-in-Chief during World War Two that Hitler would have us all goose stepping to his favorite marches.

Why does he make such a huge deal about selecting options from his advisors? Could it be that they gave him honest appraisals, and he was looking for the option that said, “GET OUT.”  Obama does not have a clue about leading a war. He doesn’t have the knowledge, the will, or the guts to fight  the biggest threat the world has ever known. There is a good chance that his final policy decision will be “to not win.” The final result will be another Viet Nam, and we will have sacrificed our finest young people to liberal politics.
