“But we have to make sure that we do not hesitate to act when it comes to al Qaeda because they are currently stronger than they were at any time since 2001, partly because we took our eye off the ball.” These are the exact words of Senator Obama during the Republican/Democrat debates January 5, 2008. I want you to read what he said a few more times…and now I want you to put yourself in the troops shoes. What are you thinking/feeling right now?

If you are a bit confused as to why I’m concerned with what he said, then you clearly don’t see how he is insulting our troops overseas. Our troops are over in Iraq and Afghanistan fighting to defend America and defeat terrorism. Everyday they have been fighting Al Qaeda, and clearly Al Qaeda HAS been weakened. To falsely say that Al Qaeda is growing stronger everyday simply sends a negative message to not only the President, but also to the troops indicating that they’re not doing their job.

I believe the War should have ended much longer ago when we captured Saddam, however that’s not the case and we need to continue to standby and support our troops. The recent surges have shown much increases in progress, yet Hillary and Obama continue to trash talk our troops indicating the falsely notion that we are not showing progress as Al Qaeda is stronger than ever. What a crock of shit.
