Capture of Taliban's No. 2 is a score for the Obama administration

Capture of Taliban’s No. 2 is a score for the Obama administration

Judging from the way Universities have bent over backwards to accommodate people like this Mulluh, and how many of them are already occupying positions in Obama’s government-I’m not surprised that they aren’t sharing anything about intelligence (since they hate intelligence). Maybe they’re trying to figure out how to run him as a candidate for office for one of the Dem’s seats in the Senate or the House that are being vacated. Or maybe they’ll make him the Taliban Czar.

Obama Endangers Troops Lives by Repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell (petition)

Obama Endangers Troops Lives by Repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell (petition)

President Obama pledged in his State of the Union Address to promote open homosexual aggression within the ranks of the military, by directly recruiting Congressmen and Senators in 2010 to overturn the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” law that saves troops lives and already guarantees equality. Ignoring a letter signed by over 1,150 retired military [...]

Military Correctness: Don't Bother Asking

Military Correctness: Don’t Bother Asking

An Excerpt from The Patriot Post
Under pressure from the Obama regime, Defense Secretary Robert Gates told Congress this week that the Pentagon will scale back enforcement of the Clinton era “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy that bans open homosexuality in the U.S. military. Gates also said the Pentagon has launched a yearlong review on how [...]

Biden gaffe machine: Iraq one of Obama's 'great achievements'

Biden gaffe machine: Iraq one of Obama’s ‘great achievements’

Who knew? This is beyond ironic. Andrew Malcolm at the LA Times:
Many Americans recall the ex-Sen. Biden’s Democratic primary plans to give in to Iraq’s fractious factions and carve the country into three territories. And even more probably recall Biden’s boss’ plan to halt the Iraq war years ago. As long as [...]

Obama "corpseman" gaffe (videos)

Obama “corpseman” gaffe (videos)

Here is video showing the dangers of being so heavily dependent on a teleprompter. President Obama was speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast and was telling about a Navy Corpsman who assisted the suffering people of Haiti. But as his head bobbed back and forth between his two teleprompters, he read the word “Corpsman” and [...]

Obama blames intelligence community on his own blunders

Obama blames intelligence community on his own blunders

It’s convenient in hindsight to say woulda coulda shoulda. What would have been admirable-but would take balls that the Messiah doesn’t have- is if Obama took action and started calling things by their real names, for starters. But we could never expect that of someone who is trying hard to put more American [...]
