Apology Tour II

Once again we as taxpayers have financed a trip for our president and his entourage to go to another part of the world and apologize for the actions of the United States. Now that's change. I'm not sure I can believe in it though. So I guess what I'm saying is, thanks Mr. President.



I don't think that we as a country have anything to apologize for. During the last administration we were attacked and then responded. Naturally our response is going to be far more severe. I think that's appropriate. Our enemies need to know that if they bring a fight to us then they are going to get badly hurt.



Mr. Obama once again said that we as a country were not at war with Islam. I can agree with that. But we are at war with radical Islam. Anyone that thinks it's justified to kill someone that does not agree with them has to be dealt with. There is no negotiating with ideological zealots. If there was then they wouldn't be classified as zealots. Besides they fired the first shots.



Then our President took his shots at George Bush calling the war in Iraq a war of choice and referring to enhanced interrogations at Guantanamo Bay as torture. Again, thanks a lot. All he continues to do is to try and smear the folks that have stood up for our country. For that he should be ashamed.



Here's an idea for you, sir. Try extolling the virtues of the people that are willing to stand up for us. As I'm sure you are now aware, the office you now hold did not come with a training manual and the decisions that need to be made can have serious consequences. The previous administration did what they thought was best for us a country in order to keep us safe. Since you have taken office Iran is started go off the deep end, N. Korea has set off a nuke, internal terrorist have tried to obtain weapons to shoot down a military airliner and a convert to Islam has killed an Army recruiter who had not been deployed and thinks he's justified as a Muslim. It's time for you to take a hard look around you sir and see what the despots in the world really think of you.



I realize that none of these issues are easily solved, but Iran and North Korea would only push President Bush so far. They knew only so much would be tolerated before they would be put in their place. It doesn't really matter if you are willing to take things that far, but you had better look like it. And if it comes to it, for the sake of our country, you need to be willing.



The president also seems to think that it would be okay to let Iran obtain nuclear power. Does he really think that the Iranians will not try to enhance the uranium and make a weapon. If that happens the entire world needs to worry.



I do have to give the President credit for not backing off of our support for Israel, at least in word. He easily could have stopped off for an afternoon to give a show of solidarity. I realize that PM Netanyahu was at the White House only a week earlier, but I think a visit would have been the appropriate thing to do.



So now that it's clear that Mr. Obama is embarrassed by his country, let's see how long it lasts with him as the president. Of course this is only on the national defense issue, I haven't begun to yell about his economic policies and his unparalleled spending.
