Once again, the citizens of the United States witness a liberal President who uses the military as a back-drop just for political purposes.  We have witnessed this over our history from the Vietnam war to Bill Clinton's nation building to today's fight against radical Muslims.  Today, liberals are using Multiculturalism to target our military history.

Recent examples are the President not being able to make a decision on the war in Afghanistan, the terrorists at Gitmo being tried in a civilian court, and Navy selas who will be tried for the capture and rough treatment of a killer, Mr. Ahmed Abed.

The President will use the military as a back-drop at West Point to attempt to persuade the American public this week that more time, troops and money will be required for a corrupt government.  However, he will not allow the military to take the "golves off" and use all necessary methods to kill the Muslim terrorists in Afghanistan.  How can the US shut down the poppy growing and drug distribution, while at the same time stop government graft?

"The significance of the Afghanistan decision cannot be understated," said Peter Mansoor, a retired Army colonel who assisted Gen. David H. Petraeus with strategic planning for the U.S. war effort in Iraq and now teaches military history at Ohio State University.  "The president's decision, coming after so many weeks of study and commentary, will set the strategic direction of the conflict in Afghanistan," Mr. Mansoor said.

The strategic direction of the eight-year conflict has been the focus of an intensive internal debate at the White House that began over the summer and has since consumed ninelengthy meetings in the Situation Room.  There, Mr. Obama has allowed his top generals, his senior foreign-policy advisers, his national-security team and his political aides to debate whether the country should invest more resources in the hopes of bringing security and stability to a lawless place, or whether the military should begin a drawdown that would leave a more limited and surgical force in place to suppress al Qaeda.

The nation's top U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, presented the president and his team with a range of options that included troop commitments reported to have ranged from 10,000 to 40,000 on top of the 68,000 already there.  But resource commitments were only part of the equation.   There was the larger question of what the U.S. wanted to accomplish in Afghanistan, and whether those goals are essential to American security, or even achievable.

Nathaniel C. Fick, a Marine veteran who heads the Center for a New American Security, said the president appears to be prepared to endorse Gen. McChrystal's plan for a broad counterinsurgency strategy aimed at stabilizing populated areas in Afghanistan, and eventually training a home-grown force to maintain that security. That effort is likely to take 30,000 to 35,000 additional American troops, and a further 5,000 troops from NATO allies.

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown confirmed Wednesday that several NATO countries will send the additional 5,000 troops.  NATO is not doing its job and many European countries are not living up to their NATO functions and obligations.

A recent Washington Post poll found that 52 percent of Americans see the war in Afghanistan as not worth its costs - only 45 percent approve of how he is dealing with it, while 48 percent disapprove. That support is even worse, at 39 percent, among independents, a key constituency for the White House. 

Either the US must use all methods to defeat the terrorists, or just pull out and let the country go back to being a terrorist camp.  The choice is very clear.

The planned attack and killing of 14 Americans (13 adults and 1 unborn) was a terrorist attack by a radical Muslin.  This is the same type of planning that American military members fight every day in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Not only do we have to guard against these types of individuals, we have to fight our own political correctness.

Many American citizens see what the Obama administration does not see when it comes to our military and political correctness.  Across the country, many stood before several flag-draped coffins during funeral services for several of the 13 victims of the Nov. 5 shootings in Fort Hood, Texas.  "He was killed by a terrorist in my mind but he was still killed in the line of duty. We owe him a debt of gratitude, him and his family and the other soldiers. We owe them our lives, our freedom," Ellabarger said.   "We may never find out the reason for what occurred on that fateful day at Fort Hood, Texas," said Ross Ridge, the deputy commanding general at Fort Sill, Okla.  "The military community is all grieving here today over the loss of this dedicated soldier."

Will we have a complete and open investigation into this terrorist attack?  Mr. Obama wants to delay the Fort Hood probe, yet when a police action took place in Cambridge, MA, he quickly came out and said that the police were “stupid”.   

Currently the administration cannot make a decision on the troop level in Afghanistan, even though this war is the “just” war.  We need a leader in the White House that will make a decision for the protection and interest of all American citizens.  Either the US fully supports a winning strategy or we pull out all our troops so Iran can move into the void which will cause critical long term problems. 

The decision to send the Gitmo terrorists to New York for trial is a big mistake.  We need to conduct a military trial in Cuba and execute the terrorists by firing squad.  These terrorist do not deserve to come to the US and have any of our rights.  This trial is about the far left trying to get even with the Bush administration, not real justice.

Our military is fighting two wars---one on the battlefield and one from inside our own ranks.

Iran is the # 1 enemy of the United States and the world.  For over 30 years, Iran has supported and exported terror around the world and against America. 

Iran supports terrorism in the below areas:
1.  Provides money, arms, IED material, and manpower to kill American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan
2.  Provides support to Hezbollah with support to kill Israeli and American citizens
3.  Provides support to Hamas so they can kill Israeli citizens
4.  Has supported terrorists in airplane hijackings and bombings
5.  Is building nuclear weapons to expand their terrorist threats

The U.S. policy concerning Iran is weak and unrealistic.  Iran is still calling for the "Death to America" and is calling for the "destruction of Israel".  We must take them seriously and do more than just "engage" Iran with empty words.

Conservatives across the country have stood up and said enough to Dede Scozzafava, a very liberal Republican from New Your.  Maybe when Senator Snowe from Maine comes up for re-election, conservatives will do the same since she is the reason why the Democrat healthcare bill got out of the Finance Committee.

Liberal Republican nominee Dede Scozzafava stunned the New York political world Saturday by announcing the suspension of her campaign for the state's 23rd Congressional District three days before the election.  The surprise move leaves New York Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman, with no prior political experience but a strongly conservative stance on virtually all issues, as the sole competitor against businessman and lawyer Bill Owens, the state Democratic Party's nominee, in a race most polls say is too close to call.

"It's an immense victory for the Conservative Party," a jubilant Mike Long, the state party's longtime chairman and a powerhouse in New York politics, told The Washington Times. "It shows the GOP gave courage to other Republicans to make the move to Hoffman against their own party's nominee."

"In the beginning no one believed we could prevail, and nearly everyone accused us of being spoilers," Mr. Long told The Times. "But we were given the opportunity to help take back the country for the taxpayers, beginning with the 9/12 movement and the anti-spending 'tea parties.' "

Mrs. Scozzafava's breaks with the Republican Party on thorny issues such as abortion, card-check labor legislation and the economic stimulus bill had been rapidly driving supporters to Mr. Hoffman's upstart campaign.

In a letter to supporters, Mrs. Scozzafava explained that in "recent days, polls have indicated that my chances of winning this election are not as strong as we would like them to be. ... The reality that I've come to accept is that in today's political arena, you must be able to back up your message with money - and as I've been outspent on both sides, I've been unable to effectively address many of the charges that have been made about my record."

"It's time for us to send a message to Washington: We're sick and tired of big-spending, high-taxing, career politicians and by voting for me on Tuesday you will send that message loud and clear," Mr. Hoffman said in a statement reacting to the news.

I agree with Doug Hoffman--we need less government and fiscal conservatives in DC.  The RNC must support conservative candidates and target the policies of the extreme left in the Democrat Party.  Out nation is worth saving!!!
