‘Our Country Is in Trouble’

How is it that no one seems to be addressing the fact that Obama as president is a liability to this country. Osama Bin Laden can be expected to jump on this if he is elected. If Al-Queda is as you say smarter than ever... it may be that they are just hoping Obama wins... Giving them the edge, and using America's inability to address the facts that we don't want to see as another of his best allies.
As for Obama, it's not a point of "loving him", "Believeing in his vision of hope", "being the first Black president"... or "hating him" etc.
Rather he was a practicing Muslim as a child, and now claiming to be christian. This in itself, by Islamic law, condemns him to death. We in America, and most likely Muslims here and everywhere would not approve of this "law". It is in fact archaic. However we all know that radical Islamic Fundamentalists will grab hold of anything they can to attack the US.
How can Obama expect to be able to negotiate with Islamic Leaders who must return to their countries and face these radicals. Consider that they "by law" are not even allowed to speak to him. Rather they should be attacking him and condemning him as well.
So if you like him or hate him isn't the point... He IS a liability He IS condemned by Islamic Law. The only solution is that he return to islam, or is it that he admit to being Muslim. This brings up another question... is he a liability or is he lying and intends to come out of the Islamic closet... AFTER the election.
Either way do you want him as president under these conditions...

You want to blame the Jews and our relationships with them, they have being our only allies, they have gone trough more persecution and terrorist acts that anyone else, we are so easily to forget history. They are surrounded by countries that their only which is to exterminate them just as the Nazis tried. We want everyone to get a long, but sometimes you have to take a side. That???s what the rest of the world doesn???t do, they just sit back and watch.

Al-Queda get stronger-DU

falcon your a uneducated putz! No muslim will make the WH. We have an old Christian, a woman Christian, and a American-African Christian, and you the raciest/moron UnChristian like person! No Muslim is even in the race, so look in the mirror the next time you start speaking out the wrong end and use the word uneducated as you must sorly be a by-product of our broken school system! We made a problem and we can't handle it cause we outsoursed it and lost track and for the US it was easy! Pakistan is unstable and nuclear, we need to invade Iran mentality! Your a sore and poor example of the American people!

So, all we have to do is end our presence in all Islamic countries (which ones are these?; End all relations with Russia, China and India; Pay $300 per barrel for oil; And end our support for Arab tyrannies (again, which ones?). Does the list of Islamic countries include Spain? And, what will they want after we capitulate on all these points? Anyway, I heard bin laden urging Americans to convert to Islam? Guess you missed that one. One point is correct; they are not stupid. But you neglect to point out that they are evil. There is no other word. And they do believe that it is their duty to convert the entire world to Islam at the point of a sword, not just "Islamic" countries. And, they certainly do believe in murdering anyone who does or says anything they find offensive, wherever they are. Sorry to disagree, changing our foreign policy will only embolden them and make them stronger. There is no good answer, but opposing them at every step is the best option in my opinion.

Hey ???pink??? I am also a Marine, a sniper served from 90 to 97 with 3/7 Lima Co 29 Palms. Take the chip of your shoulder, this is bigger then both of us. I'm one of very few who were in Somalia in 1993. We wasted millions of Dollars there feeding Bin Landen apprentices. But the same people that make that decision are currently hiding now and blaming the cleansing of their mess. I???m a marine just like you and will always be till I died, Semper Fidelis is my motto, we are not perfect but I believe in my heart that we bring more to the table then the rest of the world, and we have come a long way, and my comrades who are currently in Iraq and Afghanistan are making great process, do not let the media destroy what many have bled accomplishing. Remember we always get our man.

Blaming and criticizing is not going to change the world, solutions people, solutions and if you don???t have solutions, then let someone else try.
??? On the plains of hesitation bleach the bones of countless millions who, at the dawn of decision, sat down to wait, and waiting died ???

Operation Cyclone was the code name for the United States Central Intelligence Agency program to arm the Afghan mujahideen during the Soviet war in Afghanistan, 1979 to 1989. The Program relied heavily on using the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) as an intermediary for funds distribution. Along with funding from similar programs from Britain's MI6 and SAS, Saudi Arabia and the People's Republic of China, the ISI armed and trained over 100,000 insurgents between 1978 and 1992. Somewhere between $3???$20 billion in US funds were funneled into the country to train and equip troops with weapons, including Stinger man-portable air-defense systems.
26 Aug 1988 SA-7On July 3, 1979, U.S. President Carter signed a presidential finding authorizing funding for anticommunist guerrillas in Afghanistan.[1] Following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and installation of a more pro-Soviet president, Babrak Karmal, Carter announced "The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan is the greatest threat to peace since the Second World War".[2] American funding started with 20-30 million dollars per year in 1980 and rose to $630 million a year in 1987.[3]
The US government has been criticized for allowing Pakistan to channel a disproportionate amount of its funding to controversial Afghan resistance leader Gulbuddin Hekmatyar,[4] who Pakistani officials believed was "their man".[5] Hekmatyar has been criticized for killing other mujahideen and attacking civilian populations, including shelling Kabul with American-supplied weapons, causing 2,000 casualties. Hekmatyar was said to be friendly with Osama bin Laden, founder of al-Qaeda, who was running an operation for assisting "Afghan Arab" volunteers fighting in Afghanistan, called Maktab al-Khadamat (MAK). Alarmed by his behavior Pakistan leader General Zia warned Hekmatyar that "It was Pakistan that made him an Afghan leader and it is Pakistan who can equally destroy him if he continues to misbehave".[6] According to a Newsweek article, in the late 1980s, Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, concerned of the growing strength of the Islamist movement, told President George H. W. Bush, "You are creating a Frankenstein". Author Gilles Kepel reports that American funding of Hekmatyar and his Hezbi Islami party was cut off immediately following the withdrawal of the Soviets.[7]
The U.S. says all of its funds went to native Afghan rebels and denies that any of its funds were used to supply Osama bin Laden or foreign Arab mujahideen. It is estimated that 35,000 foreign Muslims from 43 Islamic countries participated in the war! BIN-LAUDEN GOT HIS WEAPONS AND MONEY BY THE MILLIONS!
THE AUTHOR WAS NOT THE ONLY AMERICAN IN THIS OPERATION. AS I WAS ALSO. AND THE FACT IS HE IS RIGHT!

Mr. Scheuer In the 1980s was involved in the arming of the Afghan mujahedin against the Soviets. Well we just found out who trained Bin Landen..... the CIA....of course they can't find him...You got pay attention.....Now he dedicates his life to Blame someone else for his departments mistakes. Please spare me the hypocrisy???This man and all the people in charge who were involved in the arming and training of this monster should be in prison.
