It is puzzling to me how so many on the left could be such willing dupes for someone who hasn’t been properly vetted, and who has said such incredulous things. It does make it easier to see how in times past great nations so easily fell for despots.Faultline USAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06691318732494110768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960732812801813184.post-46867668060512736832008-05-27T08:47:00.000-06:002008-05-27T08:47:00.000-06:00Obama is really bad news for the US if he gets ele...Obama is really bad news for the US if he gets elected.

One can argue about tactics for pursuing our enemies, but one must first comprehend and acknowledge the long list of enemies we have, and special forces, while an essential component of the mix, cannot solve the problem alone. <BR/><BR/>Our problems with enemies worldwide are much greater than "al Qaeda" or even "Islamofascists" and deceiving ourselves that we can disarm and leave special operators to deal with fringe groups like al Qaeda is the height of irresponsibility.<BR/><BR/>Disarmament comes with a mindset that poisons all aspects of military defense.

Somehow I doubt that lefty’s like you would be one of “Those willing to make the ultimate sacrifice . .” If Obama succeeds in dismantling our defenses, folks like you will be the first to whine about having nothing left for mounting the “Last Resort”!

It's about time we have a president committed to a dramatic reduction in military spending, elimination or nuclear weapons and more effective use of non-military tools. Somehow there is this ridiculous strain of un-American militarism that has emerged in our society. On days like today, we see a sad and sick celebration of war and warmaking. We spend more time honoring the idea of war rather than the terrible sacrifice of those who have died tragically in the fighting. As we honor those who have given the full measure of life for their country in combat, we should commit ourselves to returning the use of our military might to the place of LAST resort. George W. Bush and Bill Clinton both saw the military as an easy answer to a lack of vision and poor diplomacy. Those willing to make the ultimate sacrifice -- and all of our citizens -- deserve better leadership. That's why it's time for a change we can believe in.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05787761276610594205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960732812801813184.post-48211244021950607142008-05-26T10:38:00.000-06:002008-05-26T10:38:00.000-06:00Mad thanks for posting the story in the first plac...Mad thanks for posting the story in the first place.
