Ok, so maybe idiot is a little strong, but I am tired of hearing him demean our troops and undermine our national security. Today, on the anniversary of our liberation of the people of Iraq, he has the audacity to claim that America is less safe today because of the war in Iraq. These are either the words of an idiot, pandering or someone who is utterly naive.
Our nation is certainly no worse off today than we were on Sept. 10, 2001 after the failed policies of appeasement of eight years of Bill Clinton. It was that very policy of appeasement and making believe that the problem is not there that led to 9/11. Warning after warning was given by the terrorist, yet Bill and Friends chose to ignore the problem, pretending it didn't exist. Obama thinks were were safer under those policies.
Naive may be a better term, though. With the extremely limited foreign policy experience of the Senator, he is completely unaware of the goals and determination of our enemy. To think that this enemy will simply lay down arms if we withdraw is absurd and dangerous. Yet, that's just the kind of person he is.
Regardless of what the extreme Left, the MoveOns and Code Pinks, think, the truth is that our nation is far safer today than we were under the failed policies of the Clintons and Democrats. Can we, then, afford to allow them back into control, white flag in hand, to hand our country over to the most barbaric enemy we have ever faced?
