REAL PRIORITIES FOR AMERICA

Let us contemplate and savor the last few years as we roll toward the ‘theatre of the Absurd’ 2012 Presidential race. What are the priorities of the Obama administration and do they have anything to do with serving America and building her up?

First of all, the wars

Libya

Rather than find a clear and honorable way to conclude the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan after 10 years of clearing out Islamic terrorists, watching thousands of our troops die and building infrastructure, Obama bypasses congress completely, rushes to the ‘international and Muslim influenced’ UN for leadership and rushes the U.S. into a 3rd war, in Libya.

Remember, when this started in, Gadaffi hadn’t attacked America and wasn’t at war with our allies. They were having a civil war, a war between extremist groups. It was soon revealed that the ‘freedom fighters’ he was taking on were only linked with Al Kaeda. They also wanted freedom from Gaddaffi. Now, does that mean America jumps into the middle of their war and starts shooting missiles and spending hundreds of millions? Apparently with Obama it does, while he pretends to be Mother Theresa in all this.

In the beginning of this Libyan disaster, ‘Operation Unified Protector’ we were spending 100 million a day lobbing missiles through Libya. Only this week the Pentagon is admitting that the war costs are soaring. Gee, what a shock. Even though we are working under NATO, as usual the US is doing most of the work and spending most of the money. You do the math! We are doing 70% of the reconnaissance missions and 75% of refueling flights. According to the Pentagon’s numbers, the military has shot off 228 missiles by May at 1.5 million a piece in expense. Any money left for coffee?

The Department of Defense has confirmed that Libyan military operations have cost American tax payers $664,000,000 so far. The bottom line is that this war will be a bottomless hole of billions spent…..again. This time with no approval and support of congress and the America people. Our military is the absolute best and bravest in the world AND this war is a waste of money, talent our military and a complete sham.

Regarding the other wars, Iraq and Afghanistan

We have spent hundreds of billions taking on Islamic radicals and helping to stabilize new Government structures in Afghanistan and Iraq. Bravo to our amazing troops! There will never be a perfect Government situation in each country. Their military and leadership core is not always functioning right, but, they are functioning and can survive now.

It is time to create a 6 month time line to bring our heroic troops home and leave Iraqi and Afghanistan leadership to stand on their own. This can work for them and the US but we have to finally get clear with Islamic radicalism and fundamentalism here and through out the Middle East with our message. Our political correctness and dependency on OPEC oil is getting us killed and playing entirely into Muslim radical’s hands.

We need a loud, clear and very public policy shouted at the roof tops to Islamic leaders around the world, Iran, Syria, Hamas, Fatah, Saudia Arabia, Pakistan, Turkey et al….

“Regardless of what branch of Islam or Islamic expression you identify with, if you attack an American or her alleys in the U.S. or abroad, we will quickly find you and hold you accountable. There will be no discussion with the UN, Islamic leaders, OPEC or Media. Those who strike America and her allies, especially Israel, will find themselves destroyed.â€
