Obama attacks special operators for fronting him out

Obama has used the military for political purposes his entire regrettable tenure as Commander Campaigner in Chief. He first sent a faux surge, complete with built in expiration date, into Afghanistan to cover his cocky campaign promises. He had no intention of really trying to win there, he simply needed to make sure he could say he tried. Well he tried and troops died, lots of them. And now we are cutting and running and our people are getting slaughtered on a daily basis by our Afghan "allies, who are smart enough to know that when we leave the Taliban will be back in spades.

His pitiful end zone dancing over bin Laden's death has made him even more of a mockery among the men who actually did kill bin Laden. And probably tied for most disgraceful with the faux surge has been the plethora of politically-motivated leaks from the O inner circle that have done tremendous damage to our national security, our ability to conduct the missions that keep us all safe, and the lives of those who conduct them and their families.

Now he is being called out for those shameful attempts to possum a ride on the backs of our special operators while waving a Obama 2012 flag. A group called the Special Operations OPSEC Team put out a 22 minute film pointing out just how much damage has been done with this. Is is surprising that the response is STFU Barry? The active duty military is forbidden from talking smack about the civilian "leader" who sits in the situation room with political tools in both ears telling him when and where the war dogs should be loosed for maximum advantage to his re-election. Foreign Policy quoted me on this topic in a recent piece.

Jim Hanson, a former Special Forces Weapons NCO who writes for the military blog Blackfive, worries that the civilian-military gap enables the politicization of national security: although this "problem is larger and predates the current administration...it is hard to hear the stories from uniformed folks currently serving about how the political officials weigh in regularly on how national security decisions could affect Obama's polling."

This ad from a while back does a particularly good job of pointing out that nobody remembers seeing Barry on the chopper to Abbotobad, but more importantly running around bragging about it is low.

 

Well Barry's team never had any real respect for the knuckle-dragging troglodytes who he sent out to attempt to give him some tough guy cred and get him some campaign fodder by acting as cannon fodder. The reaction to this legitimate concern about our security shows the disdain they have.

Taking a direct shot at the leaders of OPSEC, an Obama campaign official lambasted the group's accusations about national security leaks this morning. “No one in this group is in a position to speak with any authority on these issues and on what impact these leaks might have," said the official, speaking on background, "and it’s clear they’ve resorted to making things up for purely political reasons.”

Making stuff up for purely political reasons, Really? Seriously that is your response, to call them liars? And to do so anonymously? Well that part makes sense, the odds of a gutless, spineless political tool standing up and calling those guys, us guys and other folks who are in a position to make those claims, liars is pretty slim. The Swift Boat reference is actually pretty legitimate, though. The ads that former comrades of John Kerry put out accurately portrayed Kerry as a glory hound punk who spent four months in Vietnam, picked up three extremely sketchy Purple Hearts, shot a bunch of reenactments of his exploits for home movies, and then headed out long before his tour was up to try to become the reincarnation of JFK. So Swift Drone away on the mighty Osama Slayer's wafer-thin resume and phone book thick record of using it for his own aggrandizement.

Obama will throw anyone under the bus.

  I really am disgusted seeing this video and hearing Obama take the credit.   Everything has always been about him, as he is so self centered.  I can see November from my house.

Thanks for posting

This POS couldn't wipe their boots... and hopefully, he won't get close enough to them ever again!  79 long   days..............

Obama is a disgrace to this Country. I doubt very much he is even eligible to hold the Office. Then to berate our military is unconscionable. President Bush had the greatest respect for our Military and they for him. If those in high places had integrity they would meet with Sheriff Joe and go through his evidence to see if his findings are sufficient for a thorough investigation. They must remember their Oath is to the Constition, not to the President. This does present a problem however as we saw in the case of The New Black Panther voter intimidation case Holder proved he does not honor his oath. He simply let the individuals in question walk because they were his people. The Supposed President and his underling refuse to secure our border, and not only that they sued the sovereign State of Arizona for trying to enforce the law that Obama and his Justice refused to do. Also a United State's Judge has held Obama in Contempt of Court for refusing to open Oil Drilling in Florida after the spill. There are more than enough reasons to suspect Obama of wrongdoing, especially since he stated that this was going to be the most open Administration ever. Ask yourself if Adolph Hitler should have been confronted by the Government in power before he took over. Ask yourself what our founders would do if they were confronted by the situation we are facing today. Also all of you who have the power to investigate the irregularities readily noticeable to anybody with eyes, yet standby and twiddle your thumbs as our country falls apart. Even our Special Forces are beginning to question the White House. Will all of you now twiddling your thumbs, and fearful to speak out like Col Lakin did, will you be able to someday look in the mirror without shame, or look into the eyes of your spouse, or your children or grandchildren? If Obama is innocent of any wrong doing he should not object. If everyone has eyes it deserves your attention. If everything is above board what is the problem. When I took the Oath and joined the Navy 50 years ago I had complete faith and trust in my Commander in Chief. The guy in the White House now has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that he is totally inept or he can neither be trusted nor believed.

Please search your your conscience. Are you a patriot or not? Do you want for your children what so many suffered and died for and gave to you. If nothing is it going to hurt you to check it out?

[Marvin Green]

I would add one thing to your very first sentence.  Not only is he a disgrace to the country but also the Democratic party that elected him.

[Clarence E. DeBarrows]

Have enough American people become so "wimped" out that they will allow themselves to believe that Obama is an honorable man in order to hang on to their "entitlements"?  It would appear so.
