Congress loaded with Military illiterates

Once again, General Petreaus is being taken to task by a bunch of know nothings, except party loyalty. Yes their are some former military on this committee that have served their country in the military. The are limited and for the most part, some of them fit the refrain "Old Soldiers Never Die" and have little experience with military tactics of today. In fact, their knowledge of the military must have been formatted in the biblical period of time. The want bench marks for each action taken or for getting out of the war based on an arbitrary time schedule. In short, they are wanting the war to be conducted on a specific time table written in stone much like the ten commandments. The have, for Political goals, proven to be a divided group, one for staying the course the other wanting to turn tail and run like hell. They claim that 80 percent of the citizens of the great nation, are against the war. What they do not mention is this figure comes primarily out of the Democrats Constituency, of which 40 percent are freeloaders, high school dropouts and of course "the Homeless." That many are more worried that this nation, if the war continues, will not have the money to pay for their school lunch programs. Using this group as a "Bench Mark" for the loyalty of our citizens is just as ridiculous as for war. I have never see in my life time, which is considerable, the outright amount of illiteracy that the Democrats have spawned within their party over the past 40 years plus! For the ill informed, the illiterates within the Democratic Party--WAR is Hell! Always has been and always will be. Nevertheless there are times when war becomes inevitable. In such times we have to depend on the judgements of our elected officials, and in war, particularly on the Nations Commander in Chief. The last thing we should ever do is let the many in the congress to usurp the powers to wage war by our Nations Commander In Chief. And this is exactly what is going on in our nations Capitol. Every war in the last Century, was entered into by a Democratic President. And after only having been in office 7 months and 22 days, our President was faced with the Greatest attack on this nation as never before. We lost over 3,000 people killed in a matter of minutes and when the President cried out at the 9/11 site, that we will never forget this tragedy and neither will our enemies, he received loud cheers of support. It was all too soon, however that the cheers were, thereafter, silenced by cries that he took us to war against a nation that had not even attack us. Using this logic, is it only when we have our citizens killed in large numbers and by a particular nation, that we show the will to fight, even if only for a short while. Obama Proudly Proclaims that Iraq never attacked us there- fore we should not have gone to war with them. Mr. Obama for your belated information, we were never attacked on our soil by Germany in WW I, we were never attacked by Italy and Germany in WW II, we were never attacked by North Korea and as well by North Vietnam. At no time in our nations past and glorious history, have we been required to defend our nation only when we have been attacked. Nuts! The President does not function in a vacuum. He is dependant on all sorts of information obtaind by the CIA, FBI, the Department of Defense and many other agencies. He acts on intelligence received, not on his hunches or exceptional Judgements. Obama, your judgements for the last 20 years are highly suspet. "To build a beautiful world of ideals, takes only an active imagination, some free time and a nice vocabulary." Thomas Sowell
