After President Obama apologized for the burning of Qur'ans by U.S. troops in Afghanistan, he claimed the apology "calmed things down." Evidently not. Now two more of our troops are dead. Afghan president Hamid Karzai has yet to apologize for the bloodshed.
I don't care what faith you profess, or how highly you esteem any holy book--human beings are inherently more valuable than ink and paper.
What we need is a strong and consistent commander-in-chief. Unfortunately, we are stuck with Barack Obama until at least January 2013. I say consistent in addition to strong because our President is clearly capable of ordering a strong military action. Not quite a year ago, on May 2 2011, he ordered Seal Team 6 to raid Osama bin Laden's compound and kill him. So why is he being so frail and cowardly toward Hamid Karzai?
On NBC's Meet the Press, Rick Santorum said, "I think the response needs to be apologized for, by Karzai and the Afghan people, for attacking and killing our men and women in uniform, and overreacting to this inadvertent mistake. That is the real crime, not what our soldiers did." Rick has pointed out in his recent speeches that in the year he was born (1958) defense spending made up 60 percent of the nation's budget. Currently, it's only 17 percent. The president wants to cut our defense budget even more.
In these uncertain times, the defense budget is the last thing that needs to be cut. We need a commander-in-chief that will support our nation's military instead of apologizing for them. We need a president that will stand by our only democratic ally in the middle-east, Israel (we have tried to build democracies in Iraq and Afghanistan, but instead we've ended up with Taliban-lite). Clearly, that man is not Barack Obama.
The clear alternative to the current president is Rick Santorum. Support him on Super Tuesday. Let your voice be heard. Take your country back!
