President Obama, you are purposely tying the hands of your generals in the fight against terrorism. If that’s your policy, then go public with it and stop dithering and stalling like a simpering wimp. You have made your feelings about war public with your statement that, “…the idea of victory makes me uneasy.” You go on to relate how the pictures of the Japanese surrendering on the USS Missouri made you feel sorry for the Japanese. This sends a clear mandate to the terrorists that you do not intend to fight them to any conclusive victory. I must conclude by your inaction that you do not intend to fulfill your earlier promises to us and to your generals. You also do not intend to honor your oath to protect our troops if you can so casually stand by and let your generals twist in the wind. This is no time to be whistling past the graveyard, Ms. Obama. Your speeches are empty promises. You keep telling us that you’re working hard on the problem, that your “people” are all over it, yet days turn into weeks that turn into months, etc. and no decisions are forthcoming.
As Rush Limbaugh often says, “Hope is for losers.” It’s action that gets things done. Appeasing our enemies and hoping they will become reasonable and lay down their arms is wishful thinking, Ms. Obama. We’ve been there before with these animals in Iran. Remember Ms. Carter? He/she also acted like a closet queen and tried to appease Muslim terrorists. They responded by taking the entire American Embassy as hostages. For over a year, Ms. Carter was unable to persuade the man, who is now president of Iran, to release them. It took the election of Mr. Ronald Reagan to immediately change his mind, because he knew Reagan would actually do something to get the hostages back, and it wouldn’t be to play patty-cake for months on end.
Inaction in war is a sure recipe for disaster. Don’t assume that the enemy is sitting around their hookahs waiting for us to make a move. They are planning their attacks this very minute; laying out new strategies based on our inaction, and anyone with a brain larger than a peanut knows that a major Tet-like attack is imminent.
Would anyone care to wager a bet that Obama is playing this waiting game secretly hoping that a large body count will upset the American public and give him just cause to pull the troops out of the Middle East, thereby handing his Muslim friends the victory they’ve been looking for, and making his liberal fringe friends happy?
