Having met the Gunny just a month or so ago and been fortunate to have had a couple conversations with him I can safely vouch that he is what he appears to be, "like us" and a damn fine man. Big money has a way of making you bite your tongue. All of us play politics on the job, its the nature of the game and a key to personal survival and the reason we lurk on here. Cut him a little slack.
As for Slappy, we need to weigh in a couple very important issues. There are two things that DEEPLY disturb me that are going on now that are not (in my opinion) being covered very much if at all in the media that will deeply affect our Nation as a world power. First off the end of the space shuttle program here very soon and the relegation of NASA by Slappy as an arm to "reach out to the muslim community." W T F? You fellows do realize that we will be entirely dependent on the Russkies to place men in space after the shuttles stop running right? That IS the current plan (look it up for yourselves). Shear lunacy!
Second, good old Secretary of Defense Gates, who is an Obama lap dawg is currently promoting the killing of the 2,000 some odd F-35 Stealth Fighters, saying its too costly. We cannot as a nation afford to scrap the F-35. It's insanity. The Chinbese have already copied it and have their proto-type on the runways taxiing around which is a precursor to flight testing (READ: Damn close to being operable), again, Google this and see it for yourself.
Add to this the news last week that they are proposing a military drawdown in the very near future, while we are smack dab in the middle of WWIII against the muslim world. Again this is lunacy and as much as I hate to say "I told you so", several of us on this board stated emphatically this would happen two years ago.
Oh, and we had three soldiers killed in Iraq this weekend, all by enemy action, despite having "no combat forces in Iraq". There is now a big push to allow females in combat? Bottom line is this ASSCLOWN is singlehandedly doing his damndest to destroy life as we know it and you would almost have to be crazy or drunk on the Kool Aid at this point NOT to see it. 2012 cannot possibly get here quick enough.
This man and anyone who aligns themselves with his agendas (in my opinion) are traitors to this country pure and simple and I beleive history will verify this and villify his leadership (or lack thereof). I just pray by this point our textbooks won't be re-printed in Mandarin. Watch my word, this snail will slide right to the middle and be all hugs and kisses with the Repubs for the remainder of his presidency, simply to get re-elected. Once (God help us), he is re-elected, he will be hell bent to continue his systematic destruction of our country, Much as I hate to say it I beleive he will be re-elected cause thats how stupid we as a nation have become. I hope and pray I am wrong.
