Alexa Coombs writing in Political Insider not only relates the reception Obama received at the American Legion National Convention yesterday, she provides succinct rebuttal to statements made by Obama combined with links to back it up. This is definitely a keeper for pointing out Obama’s disastrous defense and foreign policy record.
How Obama’s Speech to the American Legion Shows He Doesn’t Understand Military Culture
The following except presented in red is an example of the format and content of the article . . . Read the entire article for more quotes rebuttal and supporting links (underlined). The pithy posters that follow set the mood, well ours anyway. Thanks to America’s Veterans and to their graphic champions.
Even countries that criticize us – when the chips are down and they need help, they know who to call. They call us. That’s what American leadership looks like.
… except for Ukraine. And Poland. And Israel. And Iraq. Well, maybe they call, but Obama doesn’t answer. Suffice it to say, under Obama, our enemies are emboldened and our allies are frightened.
History teaches us of the dangers of overreaching and spreading ourselves too thin, and trying to go it alone without international support, or rushing into military adventures without thinking through the consequences.
Ummmm, whose history? I know he’s not talking about Iraq because there were 48 countries in the “Coalition of the Willing,” 37 of which provided troops on the ground, and 22 of which suffered at least one fatality. I’m also wondering when there was a time – before the Obama Administration, of course – that we were spreading ourselves too thin. Obama is the one abandoning the two-war strategy with draconian cuts to our military capabilities that an independent defense panel says “will lead to an America that is not only less secure but also far less prosperous” without thinking through the consequences.
