BOO!

Please don't tell me that we are winning the war on terrorism, or that America remains the superpower of the world.

 Last week, some alQaeda threats against us triggered our temporarily closing over 22 embassies and consulates in the Middle East and Africa. Now that's strength for you. We're threatened...not even attacked...and we run like the scared rabbits that this Administration is.

"Hey, they might send 10 or 20 guys over the walls to tear down our flag...let's get out of here before we get a splinter from the broken flagpole, or running from a sudden attack might cause some of us to spill our morning coffee and burn ourselves!"

 I was ashamed at our timidity, how easily we are bullied, and our failure and apparent inability to properly protect our personnel there, even after our failure to protect them in Benghazi. In WWII, we fought and beat three powerful nations, each of which had millions of trained armed troops and massive weaponry. Today, we run from a handful of thugs who couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag.

 And President Obama keeps cutting the size and weaponry of our military. Let's call it as it is: either the President does not know how to fight a war and therefore is not qualified to be our commander-in-chief, or he intentionally wants us to be a second-rate power and wants the war to continue. I think all the evidence over the past 5 years indicates both.

What message did he send alQaeda when he closed our facilities? What message did he send you?

(Be not concerned...waiting in the wings is High Noon sheriff Hillary Clinton.) .
