Afghanistan Speech

It is time to break down President Obama’s Speech outlining his new plan for Afghanistan.

Mr. Obama begins by speaking of how honored he is to be speaking at West Point. Well, let’s be clear, getting elected President is the only way they would have ever let him through the gates of West Point.  But I digress.

He then went on with a history lesson slanted from his skewed liberal view of America. If you all want to see how History becomes skewed in our schools, just take a look at how he does it in this speech.

Then he tries to explain the fact that he took 3 months to make a decision that your average 12 year old playing army would have made in about 3 minutes. So, in pure Obama form, he developed this convoluted excuse to cover up the fact that to him Health Care was more important than the well being of our troops at War.

He went on to explain why he has no business being the Commander in Chief of the United States Military when he said, “I opposed the war in Iraq precisely because I believe that we must exercise restraint in the use of military force, and always consider the long-term consequences of our actions.”

On the surface it doesn’t sound unreasonable until you put it in the context of the speech and you realized that the majority of this country elected a pansy to command our military. He reinforces it with this quote,

“That is why I have made it a central pillar of my foreign policy to secure loose nuclear materials from terrorists; to stop the spread of nuclear weapons; and to pursue the goal of a world without them.”

If any of you are reading this, I’d like to thank you on behalf of our dead soldiers.

He listed all of the things he’s done to understand our soldiers. (I’d like to note that since leaving office President and Mrs. G. W. Bush have done more for our troops since leaving office than Obama has done ever). It looked as if these cadets weren’t buying it, but I hope that is true.

Next up, he tries to pretend that he has actually done something useful,

“I have spent this year renewing our alliances and forging new partnerships. And we have forged a new beginning between America and the Muslim World – one that recognizes our mutual interest in breaking a cycle of conflict, and that promises a future in which those who kill innocents are isolated by those who stand up for peace and prosperity and human dignity.”
I’d really like to know what planet this guy is from! His idea of renewing our alliances and forging a new partnership with the Muslim world  is selling out NATO and  Isreal then submitting to the will of the Muslim world.

Thanks, I’ll pass.

Here’s my favorite part:

“All told, by the time I took office the cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan approached a trillion dollars. Going forward, I am committed to addressing these costs openly and honestly. Our new approach in Afghanistan is likely to cost us roughly 30 billion dollars for the military this year, and I will work closely with Congress to address these costs as we work to bring down our deficit.”

What he’s telling us here, is that $1 Trillion dollars preventing terrorist attacks like 9/11 is a lot of money to spend, but a nearly $1 Trillion dollar stimulus package to fund ACORN, Condoms in School, and Digital TV converters is A-OK.

Every day that goes by, this man looks more haggard and less rational. I pray every day that we can get a Congress to check his power before it’s too late.
