Their Commander in Chief is a freaking
embarrassment.

Less than a week after a US staff sergeant allegedly massacred 16 civilians in Kandahar, American soldiers were banned from bringing guns into a talk by Mr Panetta at a base in Helmand province.

Major General Mark Gurganus later said he gave the order because Afghan troops attending the talk were unarmed and he wanted the policy to be consistent for all.

"You've got one of the most important people in the world in the room," he told the New York Times, insisting that the decision was unrelated to Sunday's killings. "This is not a big deal."

Editor's notes: there is no leadership in our government. Now, we are reminded of the incompetence of Obama as a military leader and, OF COURSE, IT IS A BIG DEAL. Anytime you tell men to lay down their arms while in a battlefield and in an assembly in which anything could happen at any time, well that it is more than crazy, it is an insult of the highest order.

And to think that it was just Monday that Obama made this idiot statement speaking of the troops: “You can’t help but be proud of them generally.”

You do know that these men of valor have fought under the most obscene battlefields conditions imposed on them by any Commander in Chief: no air support if there is a danger that collateral damage can occur; no “surprise attacks;” the reading of the Miranda rights in some cases; catch and release; no pursuit into residential areas . . . . . and more. In fact, this commander does not know how to define “victory” and has said so, out loud.

All of our soldiers know that Obama is about to release the worst of the bad from GITMO, back into the Afghan war theatre.

I do not believe in the “righteous war” nonsense. I do believe in the “war of necessity” and, sometimes that “necessity” is the pre-emptive strike. And I believe that war is about breaking things and killing people. It is not about fighting fair. It is about winning, and winning as fast as you can. And, if folks don’t like it, well, they are probably the losers. The press should never be allowed to film an invasion or a “secret” mission. Negotiations with the enemy should never be done publicly. Negotiations should always take place out of strength. To do otherwise, is to negotiate surrender.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
