President George W. Bush’s speech after the capture of Saddam Hussein:

“The success of yesterday’s mission is a tribute to our men and women now serving in Iraq . The operation was based on the superb work of intelligence analysts who found the dictator’s footprints in a vast country. The operation was carried out with skill and precision by a brave fighting force. Our servicemen and women and our coalition allies have faced many dangers in the hunt for members of the fallen regime, and in their effort to bring hope and freedom to the Iraqi people. Their work continues, and so do the risks. Today, on behalf of the nation, I thank the members of our Armed Forces and I congratulate them!”

 
Obama’s speech after the killing of Osama bin Laden:

“And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the Director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat his network. Then, last August, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden. It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this thread to ground. I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside of Pakistan . And finally, last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and I authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice. Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad , Pakistan .”

 Obama did not once acknowledge our brave men and women who fight for our country….and that my friends is chicken Shit!!!

New Executive Order…Need Worry Much?

New Executive Order…Need Worry Much?

Anytime Obama is tied to an executive order I get nervous. His administration is full of his appointees with agendas that feed the goal of bigger government. So anytime he makes any kind of move like this it gets your attention. This President does not do things without some ulterior motive, if it does not push one of his agendas, why bother?

I have read on numerous sites that this is just an update to an existing law from 1950 and Ace picked up on one particular article that may make some sense of the order, and why Obama would make it.

PART II – PRIORITIES AND ALLOCATIONSSec. 201. Priorities and Allocations Authorities. (a) The authority of the President conferred by section 101 of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2071, to require acceptance and priority performance of contracts or orders (other than contracts of employment) to promote the national defense over performance of any other contracts or orders, and to allocate materials, services, and facilities as deemed necessary or appropriate to promote the national defense, is delegated to the following agency heads:

(1) the Secretary of Agriculture with respect to food resources, food resource facilities, livestock resources, veterinary resources, plant health resources, and the domestic distribution of farm equipment and commercial fertilizer;

(2) the Secretary of Energy with respect to all forms of energy;

(3) the Secretary of Health and Human Services with respect to health resources;

(4) the Secretary of Transportation with respect to all forms of civil transportation;

(5) the Secretary of Defense with respect to water resources; and

(6) the Secretary of Commerce with respect to all other materials, services, and facilities, including construction materials.

(b) The Secretary of each agency delegated authority under subsection (a) of this section (resource departments) shall plan for and issue regulations to prioritize and allocate resources and establish standards and procedures by which the authority shall be used to promote the national defense, under both emergency and non-emergency conditions. Each Secretary shall authorize the heads of other agencies, as appropriate, to place priority ratings on contracts and orders for materials, services, and facilities needed in support of programs approved under section 202 of this order.

The section that is emphasised show emergency and non-emergency conditions. If Obama gets his second term with nobody to answer to and no worries about re-election he is free to initiate more radical ideas on the United States and it’s people. One of the left-wing agendas is disarming the American public. The second amendment has been under constant threat from the left but they have no way to get the public to voluntarily lay down their guns. But they can make laws outlawing certain types of weapons, (which they have done with automatic), and it is legal for certain weapons to be confiscated under the law.

Here is where I think this executive order may have a more devious meaning.

If Obama gets a second term, under direction of Homeland Security, he enacts the language in this order to expand the TSA to roads and highways. Basically forming a federal police force that now has the legal authority of search and seizure during NON-EMERGENCY CONDITIONS under the umbrella of the EXECUTIVE ORDER — NATIONAL DEFENSE PREPAREDNESS as executed by President Obama March 16, 2012.

Lets say that there is a crime or assault committed in the United States that kills numerous people and assault weapons and high-capacity magazines were used, along with various handguns. And lets say that congress goes ape shit and under pressure of this heinous act, passes a new law making all sorts of weapons illegal. They can’t go home to home and retrieve these weapons, but there is a government database that tracks who owns what guns because you can’t buy one of these weapons without registering first. Sound familiar?

Now lets say that under the new law, the TSA sets up roadblocks to initiate search and seizure of said weapons even though there is not a national emergency. Well the new police force has the authority because of the “updated amendment to the Defense Production Act of 1950”.

This may be a stretch, but I trust this President, his czars, appointees, and cronies as far as I can throw them. Which is not very far.

Damn Shame…Troops Told To Disarm

I don’t know who got nervous, but I would say it is pretty telling when the Secretary of Defense does not trust 200 of his own troops, makes them disarm before he speaks to them.

Like I said, it may be time to get out now before someone else in the Obama Administration embarrasses us to the world. Again.

Update: You would think he would want our boys locked and loaded for just this kind of scenario.

 

 In a sign of the nervousness surrounding Mr. Panetta’s trip, the Marines and other troops who were waiting in a tent for the defense secretary to speak were abruptly asked by their commander to get up, place their weapons — M-16 and M-4 automatic rifles and 9-mm pistols — outside the tent and then return unarmed. The commander, Sgt. Maj. Brandon Hall, told reporters he was acting on orders from superiors.

“All I know is, I was told to get the weapons out,” he said. Asked why, he replied, “Somebody got itchy, that’s all I’ve got to say. Somebody got itchy; we just adjust.”

Normally, American forces in Afghanistan keep their weapons with them when the defense secretary visits and speaks to them. The Afghans in the tent waiting for Mr. Panetta were not armed to begin with, as is typical.

Get Them The Hell Out!

It’s past time. How many more US troops will be killed for the “rogue” sergeant’s killing of civilians. We don’t know what caused the soldier to do what he did but the reprisals are going to put more troops at risk. I know that pulling out now would dampen the meaning of why we were there in the first place, and diminish the reasoning for the loss of life by American soldiers, but in my humble opinion, they did what was asked of them.

 The reaction to the koran burning pretty much showed me what the people of Afghanistan want…..they want us the hell out of their country. I say we do what they ask. We have nothing to be ashamed of.

How can we fight a war against an enemy of cowards hiding behind women and children, and an Afghan military that is turning their guns on the people who are supposed to be training them. Not to mention Pakistan that is sympathetic and lets them hide across a border we cannot cross.

I am tired of hearing from the talking heads on television and the military brass saying that we need to stay until the mission has been accomplished. What have we accomplished in ten years? I don’t want to waste the blood of the brave men and women who have lost their lives in country, but I don’t want to lose more troops to a treacherous people and a corrupt government that is getting rich while US soldiers trying to win an unwinnable war.   

There I said it, we cannot be succesful in Afghanistan period.

Look at the quotes below and comment on what you think.

Afghanistan’s parliament condemned the killings, saying Afghans had run out of patience with the actions of foreign forces and the lack of oversight. Civilian deaths have long been one of the main sources of tension between Kabul and Washington.

“We have benefited little from the foreign troops here but lost everything – our lives, dignity and our country to them,” said Haji Najiq,” a Kandahar shop owner.

“The explanation or apologies will not bring back the dead. It is better for them to leave us alone and let us live in peace.”

“The Americans said they will leave in 2014. They should leave now so we can live in peace,” said Mohammad Fahim, 19, a university student. “Even if the Taliban return to power our elders can work things out with them. The Americans are disrespectful.”

“The Americans are not here to assist us they are here to kill us,” said Najibullah, 33, a house painter in Kabul.

“I hate the Americans and I hate anyone who loves them, so I hope there is no long-term partnership between our countries.”

Without a pact that keeps U.S. advisers or special forces in the country, there is a danger that civil war could erupt again in Afghanistan.

Karzai, whose relationship with his Western backers is troubled even in the best of times, condemned the rampage as “intentional murders” and demanded an explanation. Karzai’s office released a statement quoting a villager as saying “American soldiers woke my family up and shot them in the face.”

Amnesty International warned that those behind such attacks must be brought to justice or it would risk reinforcing a perception among many Afghans – fueled by the Taliban – that NATO had not done enough to keep Afghan civilians safe.

$750,000 Soccer Field for Gitmo

$750,000 Soccer Field for Gitmo

Are you shitting me! Who was the brainchild behind this little luxury for a bunch of fucking terrorists? They should be removed from whatever position they hold. Our taxes hard at work!

We are doomed.

At a time of record deficits, a new soccer field for detainees at Camp 6 in Guantanamo Bay is just getting the finishing touches — at a cost of $750,000 to taxpayers.

The project was the highlight of a tour Tuesday of the detention camp for reporters at the facility covering the arraignment in a military court of Majid Khan, a former Baltimore resident and the the only legal U.S. resident on trial at Guantanamo.

The project began in April 2011 and is due to finish this spring. The detainees will now have three recreation facilities at Camp 6, which is home to “highly compliant” detainees who live in a communal setting.

In addition to an indoor recreation field and the existing outdoor recreation field, the new soccer field — selected because it is such a popular sport with detainees — is half the size of an American football field.

The new field has been specially constructed so that the detainees “have maximum access” — about 20 hours a day. Special passageways allow the detainees to pass into the new recreation yard without being escorted by the military.
