How anyone in their right mind would want a repeat of this is beyond my comprehension. This leads me to believe that there is a very large section of our population who think and see the world in a very different manner than the rest of US.
But if there is one thing that is coming out of these debates, it is the stark contrast between these two men.
Only when standing next to each other, with each presenting their plan (or lack thereof) for the nation; is can see the incredible difference offered to the American electorate this year.
The difference is like night and day.
One man presents a seasoned, well experienced business savvy having worked in business all of his adult life; and in government being the governor of a state where the opposition party predominates, and yet was able to govern, and get incredible bi-partisan cooperation that has been a hallmark of how government can and should work.
The other presents four years of failed policies now reaching a crisis point in almost every area this man has brought his ideas to pass; a failed record of lack of leadership (leading from behind), no business experience, no idea how to run a business and much less – even after four years – how to run a country; and a ruinous heap of broken promises, failure, duplicitous secrecy, and criminality in the highest levels of government; never witnessed at this level and with this repetition in the history of this country.
The composure of one man versus the barely controlled anger and frustration of the other; the differences between these two men have allowed the American people – the American electorate – to see for themselves the choice they have, and it is the reason why Romney is surging ahead of Obama in all of the polls, and is continuing to not only catch up with the president in some of them, but actually bypass him in others. Is this a harbinger of things to come? I certainly hope so.
I have seen it all before, but never on this scale. It was 1976. Jimmy Carter was president and Walter Mondale vice president. The Middle East, Latin America, and Africa were hot beds of wars of national liberation – communist insurgencies and terrorism. The Carter Administration had ignored repeated requests from the Shah of Iran for help in fighting a growing Islamic insurgency within his country. But it didn’t end there.
Carter brought every pressure to bear against the Shah’s government, and helped in its collapse, just as it did with Anastacio Somoza’s government in Nicaragua, and other governments across the African Continent that were falling like dominoes to Communist insurgents. His so-called “human rights” policies were selectively and hypocritically put into practice. It practiced the doctrine of aiding and abetting America’s enemies with foreign aid – turning a blind eye to human rights of abuses by regimes and governments of the Left, while denying such aid to American allies because it held these governments to standards it did not hold the others.
Within four years, most of Continental Africa was lost, the Middle East was a powder keg, and it was only a matter of time before the Shah of Iran and his family were forced to flee for their lives and his government overthrown. The Islamic Republic of Iran replaced the pro-Western/Pro-American/Pro-Israel friendly government of the Shah. Effectively, Carter had given the new regime access to the largest and most powerful pro-western military in the region (Iran’s Army was four million strong and was armed with the finest American military hardware in the world.
Almost immediately, the new government pursued a policy of warfare against the United States and its allies in the Middle East. The first act of its government was to allow the entire American staff in Tehran to be taken hostage, and for four hundred and forty-four days, America and the world waited while Carter did nothing. A botched clandestine military attempt to rescue the hostages went terribly awry, and American Special Operations forces were killed in the debacle in the Iranian desert. It took the election of Ronald Wilson Reagan to put an end to this nightmare to these people, their families, and the rest of America. While Reagan took the oath of office, Iran released the hostages and as he gave his speech, they were flown to freedom.
Go forward to the present. It is September 11th, and it’s been ten years since the greatest act of terrorism in American history against a civilian target on American territory took place. It is also Tuesday, just as it was ten years earlier, when Islamic hijackers and members of the terrorist group Al Qaeda took four planes and crashed two of them into the towers of the World Trade Center, and third into the Pentagon, and a fourth that was meant to hit the Capitol crashed into a Pennsylvania field.
For eight years, no act of terrorism occurred on American soil, as it had repeatedly during the time of Bill Clinton. Clinton, it will be remembered; treated the terrorism as a law enforcement operation and issue, to be investigated once the “crime” has been committed, Americans have been murdered, the perpetrators have been captured, and then are given a trial by a jury of their peers. Interesting concept, except it does not work in war. And these people are at war against America and its people and its interests.
This is why Clinton did nothing to address the mounting threat of terrorism after just weeks into his new administration, he all but ignored the bombing at the World Trade Center, and treated it as a law enforcement issue. He didn’t even visit the site of the bombing, but made some vague references that the people who had committed these acts would be caught and brought to justice. It was during his administration that literally ignored the middle eastern connection to the Oklahoma City bombing, and instead willfully chose to make into some kind of Anti-government white supremacist conspiracy.
Clinton did nothing when Flight 800 was shot down from the skies over New York City, even after many witnesses came forward to testify that they had seen something that looked like a flash of a missile contrail streak from the sea up to the airliner and strike it. Clinton was up for reelection, and he did not want it to appear that he was soft on terrorism, so he had the Justice Department investigative team ramrod the story that it was a failed fuel tank that caused the plane to explode in midair, which is the story presented by the Discovery Channel. It was during the Clinton presidency that terrorists from Al Qaeda attacked our embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. It was during his presidency that USS Cole was bombed at the Port of Arden in Yemen, and he did nothing.
It was during his presidency that Al Qaeda made preparations to hijack commercial airliners and used them as missiles against American symbols of finance, military, and government power, and his administration did nothing to stop it. It was the Clinton presidential transition teams that were ordered by the Clintons or someone high within their administration not to cooperate with the incoming Bush transition team, but to stall it, and prolong the process. No one knows why they were ordered to do this, but this they did. What normally took only a matter of weeks, this time took months to complete, and critical actionable intelligence and PDBs (Presidential Daily Briefings) were kept from the new administration by the Clinton team. The Bush Administration would not know about what Al Qaeda was up to because of this. And we know what happened only months into 2001.
Now let’s go to the present. It’s Tuesday, September 11th again; only now it is 2012, and the presidential elections is only weeks ahead. History is about to repeat itself. And as one writer commented: “America owes it to those who were murdered in Benghazi to vote this current fraudulent potus and his administration out and for congress to call for a full scale investigation on BS aka BHO's BC SSC SSN and indictment of all criminal activities of said administration from Fast and Furious to voter intimidation scandal in 08 the list of 4yrs of atrocities are numerous BS aka BHO should be held accountable for the deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens Sean Smith Glen Doherty Tyrone Woods.”
But this is only the latest – and hopefully the last foreign policy terrorism debacle of this administration. Does anyone remember that in the past four years terrorism has come home to America once again? Let’s recount the record. This is the same administration that renamed the War on Terror a “a Man-made contingency Operation,” and called the Fort Hood massacre a Workforce Violence Issue – remember, this was the terrorist incident where a lone Muslim radical gunman went on the murder spree in the name of Jihad?
This is the same administration that declared an end to the War on Terror, an end to hostilities in Iraq and withdrew its troops prematurely from Iraq, leaving the country to be governed by a Pro-Iranian Shiite government in power; effectively handing Iran the hard fought for new Iraqi Post-Saddam Iraqi nation.
This is the same administration that stood aloof when the velvet revolution took place across Iran, and blood ran in the streets without any American intervention, as the world watched in horror the mauling of the Iranian pro-democracy movement by it’s the Islamic Republic of Iran.
This was the same administration that laid the clandestine groundwork through second and third party entities during a period of over eighteen months across the Middle East – organized and financed by George Soros and others – to replace friendly pro-western governments with Islamist groups led by the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda.
This is the same administration that led an illegal war in Libya without first seeking the approval of congress which was sought for the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, but this was the first time an administration acted outside the boundaries of Constitutional Law and bypassed congress and committed American forces to a war not sanctioned by an joint act of congress, but under the auspices of the United Nations.
This is the same administration that treated with total contempt the Israeli Prime Minister when he visited the president and it is the same administration that on the night of September 11th, this year, did not hold any intelligence briefing or public statement, but the president left for Las Vegas to a fundraiser for his presidential reelection campaign. This is a disgrace! A disgrace! How can this man get away with this!
As one commentator put it: “Obama's policies are same policies that killed most of Seal Team 6 (the same that killed Osama- that Obama took credit for). In Lybia (sic), they pulled heavily armed men from this compound because Obama did not want it to look like America was there as an ‘Armed presence’ The same thing Killed many on Seal Team 6 in Aug 2011 in Afghanistan (the largest one day death in that war history) because they were not allowed to defend themselves because of too many ‘friendly's’ in the area (Afghan soldiers).”
As of this day, the Obama Administration has yet to investigate the death of these Navy Seals, the greatest number of US Navy Seals killed in action in US Naval History. As of this day, this administration has not addressed the question of who ordered all of these seals be placed inside a Chinook helicopter, slow moving vehicle that was an easy target for an RPG (rocket propelled grenade) to bring it down and kill everyone on board. Who ordered this mission, and who ordered all of these seals to be flown in a single air craft that day?
As another commented: “On October 10, 2012, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform held a hearing entitled, "The Security Failures of Benghazi" to examine the state of security at the U.S. Embassy and Consulate in Libya prior to the assassination of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and his colleagues on September 11, 2012.”
And: “So no one is watching or commenting? This is just as controversial as Watergate. Hard to believe. The attacks on the embassy in Libya are a clear failure of the State Department. How can anyone defend the failure to provide physical security for our people? Regardless of political views, it is only common sense to provide security. The big mistake of the administration was to deny it was a planned attack.”
It is nothing short of a scandal the US Senate, because it is controlled by a single political party which this president belongs to, has not held a single investigation or hearing by any of its oversight committees, but that it has taken exclusively those of the US House of Representative to conduct its own investigation and hearings into this matter that eclipses the bungled burglary at the Watergate Hotel, but was made nation news by the news media, whereas this colossal foreign policy failure has been completely ignored by the same press.
As of this writing, this administration has yet to answer much for its foreign policy failures. They are myriad. And it will be held to account for these by the American electorate on November 6th, 2012. I end this report with the following testimony by one of the key witnesses who testified about the Benghazi Tragedy and Debacle, and I quote it here, because it speaks to the very heart of why Barack Hussein Obama and his entire government must be voted out of office in three weeks. When the professionals tasked with recommending the allocations of security and intelligence assets to critical places like Benghazi, Libya were asked how they felt about the administration’s response to their repeated requests for months to augment the security of the embassy at Benghazi, they responded in the following manner. I quote:
“For me and my staff, it was made abundantly clear that we were not going to get resources until the aftermath of an incident. And the question that we would ask, again is, ‘How thin does the ice have to get before someone falls through?’”___ Eric Nordstrom in testimony before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Lt. Colonel West, also tasked with making recommendations and in charge of security allocations of assets to Benghazi, replied when asked of the situation, “We were fighting a losing battle. We couldn’t even keep what we had. We were not even allowed to keep what we had.
He continues later on, and his statements are even more troubling in light of what happened in Benghazi and how the administration has dealt with it in its aftermath. I quote:
“If I could add to that, and I was told by the same regional director in a telephone call in Benghazi after he contacted me when I asked for twelve agents. His response to that was, ‘You’re asking for the sun, moon, and the stars. And my response to him was – his name was Jim – and I said, ‘Jim, you know what makes it most frustrating about this assignment? It’s not the hardships, it’s not the gunfire, it’s not the threats; it’s dealing and fighting against the people, programs, and personnel who are supposed to be supporting me.’ And I added it by saying, ‘For me the Taliban is on the inside of the building.’
This is a most telling statement. It indicates that because of the duplicitous nature and behavior of some public officials within the highest echelons of the Obama government, these professionals believe that there is nothing short than a Trojan Horse within our government that is working cross-purposes with the national security interests of the United States, and its diplomatic corps who serve overseas. This would explain Obama’s incessant overtures to the Islamic World while treating Israel and our allies with contempt. It would explain what is contained in a report that has now come to light, which the reader can access here under the heading, REPORT: Scores of known radical Islamists made hundreds of visits to Obama White House... at this URL: http://www.investigativeproject.org/3777/a-red-carpet-for-radicals-at-the-white-house
Obama and his entire staff must not return to office. He must be voted out of office as soon as the elections allow. He and his government present a clear and present danger to the interests and stability of the United States, and for him to extend his presidency another four years would be an unmitigated disaster from which this nation and its people may never emerge.
Let Barack Hussein Obama’s days be few, and let Mitt Romney take his office. May we see the day this comes to pass, may it be soon, and may it be in our day. Indeed, may the Lord bring it to pass.
