Obama's Afghanistan War

by Ron Spangler

President Obama has accepted responsibility for Afghanistan and is now beginning to realize a fraction of the reality of being Commander In Chief when your country is at war.

He is finding out just how easy it is to sit back and throw out theories on how to fight a war. He is beginning to feel the pressure from knowing that the decisions he makes will determine how the war ends. Will it be a real victory in Afghanistan or like so many other nations have found out, a loosing venture.

It is a well documented fact that no nation or leader has ever conquered the terrain and tribal areas of Afghanistan. History is full of attempts from Alexander the Great to the Soviet Union, but all have failed.

If you study warfare and how campaigns have been won, a few things stand out amongst the most successful leaders.

They choose the time and place to fight their battles carefully.

They identify, study, and get to know their enemies strength and weakness.

They study the history and all the past battles their enemies have fought.

They study the terrain and environment where their troops must fight.

They prepare for battle by winning the people of the area over to their side.

They make certain they have the support of their own people to fight a long and costly war.

They define for their military and people at home exactly what victory will look like.

They find determined and experienced military leaders to fight the war and they do not second guess or try to run the battle from the White House.

They understand that wars and battles are fluid and the situation can change at any time.

Will President Obama be successful in Afghanistan where everyone else has failed? If the far left base of his party has anything to do with it he will fail. Already there is grumblings within the Democrat Party for getting out of Afghanistan now. With the news that there may be a call from commanders on the ground for an additional 30 to 40 thousand troops, opposition in the Congress by Democrats has been loud and clear.

During his time as Senator, President Obama had the luxury of being able to second guess President Bush about Iraq. Senator Obama didn't understand one of the first rules in warfare, pick your time and place to fight. President Bush knew from history fighting a Muslim supported Al Qaeda in their own mountainous terrain would be costly in American lives and the outcome could not be predicted. He also knew America's military had very good experience fighting in the deserts and cities around Iraq. Bush hoped that going into Iraq would draw Bin Laden into Iraq and out of Afghanistan. He counted on Iraqis to be grateful for ousting Hussein and thought they would join in the fight against Al Qaeda. Unfortunately everything didn't work out. Al Qaeda did send fighters to Iraq and it did quiet down in Afghanistan. Bin Laden even said Iraq was the central war for the Middle East.

Iraq has settled down after a large number of Al Qaeda and Al Qaeda supporters have been killed. They misread the Iraqi people and the people finally turned against them. Iraqi's began to support the Iraqi military and our military. When President Bush supported Gen Petraeus' call for the surge it was over for Al Qaeda and the insurgency.

Can President Obama completely pull out of Iraq and send our forces to Afghanistan, No. This would not be wise for two reasons. The biggest problem is Iran. If we pull out too soon Iran will move on Iraq. They are still creating problems by sending military arms into Iraq trying to keep the insurgency alive. If we are not there Iraq will have no choice but to fight another war with Iran or succumb to being a puppet state to Iran. The other problem is the American people will not stand for our military to leave Iraq only to go into Afghanistan. The American people will not stand for higher casualties in a poor country like Afghanistan. If the media starts showing a large number of American Flag draped caskets coming from Afghanistan President Obama will find himself in the same position as President Bush.

Back to the question, Can Obama win his war? Only time and the definition of victory in Afghanistan will tell. If the American people are willing to stay for another 10 years and rebuild the roads, schools, government buildings and businesses while our military kills off all of the Taliban and Al Qaeda insurgence, then maybe. If we are willing to sacrifice up to 30 thousand American lives over that 10 year period, maybe. If however victory will be defined by killing Bin Laden or our leaving Afghanistan upon his death, then Obama will loose his war. If this happens Afghanistan will revert back to a Taliban state with thousands upon thousands of Afghans killed for supporting American or NATO forces. Iran will most likely try to influence whatever government that forms in Afghanistan and it will be a haven for America hating terrorist.

It is clear that only a few friends will help in the fight that is undoubtedly going to become more costly in lives and treasure. Most NATO forces will not fight so it will be left up to us and a small number of friends to take the fight to the Taliban and whats left of Al Qaeda. By the summer of 2010 President Obama will know whether he will win or loose his war. If American casualties increase and Americans continue to turn against President Obama's policies at home and abroad, he will loose his war.

President Obama has declared Afghanistan to be his war and if we win or loose it will be his legacy. Time for blaming the previous administration is over. This is not a game played by kids on the computer, it is real life and people will die from the decisions President Obama makes. We can only hope they are the right decisions.

In CNN We Trust ?

by Ron Spangler

While we were watching today's memorial events paying tribute to the fallen heroes and victims of Sept 11,2001, CNN interrupted with a completely bogus news alert. In their zeal to be the 1st with reporting breaking news they managed to create a national scare involving police, FBI, and the FAA.

If you listen to the audio that the CNN reporters were listening to it should have been clear this could not be real. In the audio conversation you can hear one of the Coast Guard simulating shots being fired by saying "bang, bang, bang." Remember when kids played cops and robbers or for older people cowboys and Indians? Our guns were our voices shouting bang, bang, bang I got you.

CNN is blaming the Coast Guard and President Obama supporters have supported CNN all day. However this evening after Homeland Security Director Napolitano called for an investigation of the Coast Guard's actions, Fox News reported a White House spokesman said the White House stands behind the Coast Guard.

Does this mean President Obama has thrown CNN under the bus with all of his other one time supporters?

Meanwhile CNN is spinning the ACORN scandal for all its worth. After refusing to air anything on the Baltimore employees trying to help cover up a would be child prostitute business that was fortunately a scam, they finally covered it by reminding everyone that the 'under cover reporter' was another conservative activist that had his own agenda to air.

Later on after Fox News released a second tape this time in Washington D. C. Wolf Blitzer had the same CNN reporter on spinning the story again. At the end of the spin she reported the D. C. tape and informed the public that the employees had been fired.

So now the "Most Trusted Name In News" blames the Coast Guard for not telling CNN they are going to do their job and practice what they will do in case a suspicious boat refuses to follow the orders of the Coast Guard. They also blame the conservative activist for ACORN employees being willing to participate in child prostitution by not reporting the pimp and prostitute to the police.

At the end of Wolf Blitzer's reporting one of the reporters had advice for today's politicians and associations like ACORN. Paraphrase, 'In today's internet environment with everyone having a camera and Youtube, if you are with someone outside or inside that you don't know, be very careful what you say.'

Good advice CNN, we really must protect the crooked politicians, pimps, and child prostitution rings from those bad conservatives with a hidden agenda.

The Most Trusted Name In News, Really ?

Wilson Who Is Lying

by Ron Spangler

After Representative Wilson from South Carolina shouted out "You Lie" during President Obama's speech it made me wonder just who is really lying to the American people.

President Obama said a lot of things and promised something for everyone.

One thing he said was this plan would not add a "single dime to the deficit." How can this be true?

Has anyone ever seen a Government run program that did not add to the deficit over the long run?

No government program is a for profit program. The Veterans Administration does not pay for itself. The Post Office does pay for itself. With Congress continually raiding Social Security it does not pay for itself. Medicaid and Medicare does pay for itself. Amtrak does not pay for itself. Each and every program is either subsidized by the taxpayer or it is running in the red and has to be bailed out by the government at some point in time.

President Obama said "no illegals will be covered under his plan."

While the present bill being considered does say this, no where in the bill does it require proof of citizenship to obtain a co-op or government option insurance program. Without any form of verification of citizenship anyone can be part of this type of program.

As the law stands now anyone in need of health care in this country cannot be denied because they are not U S citizens. Show up at any emergency center and you will be treated, citizen or not. I see nothing in President Obama's speech that will solve this problem of true American citizens with insurance paying for illegals. The big problem, people here illegally will be too afraid to sign up for any insurance without amnesty and some will simply refuse to buy into any American insurance when they know they can go to any emergency room and be treated free of charge.

President Obama said his plan would be payed for by cutting "waste and fraud, as well as unwarranted subsidies in Medicare that go to insurance companies".

Unless you are a absolute Obama supporter willing to believe the man has never misspoke a single word or sentence in his life, you cannot believe this to be true. It simply does not stand to reason that if there is that much waste and fraud in Medicare, and the politicians know where it is, then somebody should be fired for allowing it to continue with or without a new government program.

These are only a few points I ponder as truths or lies. I find it hard to distinguish between political rhetoric and an outright lie. I raised my kids with the understanding a lie is a lie. If you tell me something you know is not true then it is a lie. Mr. President you are supposed to know better than anyone if what you are telling the American people is true or not.

Stock Market Another Crash

by Ron Spangler

Gold prices rising, oil prices rising, U S deficit continuing to rise, dollar value dropping and faith in the dollar as the world's standard reserve falling means the U S market is facing another disastrous crash. As the Feds continue to print more and more money the dollar is becoming more and more worthless which will lead us into another Jimmy Carter era of high inflation, long gas lines and everything costing Americans more than we can afford.

It has not been that long ago that China called for a New World Reserve Currency

Why are they and other countries worried? They fully understand and can see the future of the American economy and it isn't in the best interest of the rest of the world.

While this Congress and Administration is solely focused on Healthcare and controlling more and more of our everyday lives America is heading for disaster. They are not paying attention to what is really going on around the world and other countries have noticed and are becoming more and more alarmed at the direction this administration is taking America into.

Like it or not the world economy is based more on oil than any other commodity known to man. It was oil and all of its byproducts that was the true driving force behind the industrial revolution in Europe and the 2nd industrial revolution in North America. Without oil and its byproduct grease as a lubricant, mass production in factories could not have been accomplished with such a high level of success in America.

After oilfields were discovered in Pennsylvania in 1859, it was refined into kerosene and grease. Kerosene was used for lighting and grease allowed the factories to redesign tools and machines to mass produce their products. Eventually oil was refined into diesel and gas replacing the steam and electric mode of transportation.
As a form of transportation both steam and electric were either too dangerous or too inefficient to operate and meet the needs of a growing industry and society.

With the abundance and relative cheap supply of American oil the 19th and 20th centuries proved to be the best years for an industrial America. We led the world in industry and new inventions. We won the wars that were started in Europe and Japan. The American dollar replaced gold as the world standard and it was all based on America depending on its own natural resources and industrial strength.

Now all of the successes of our fathers are in jeopardy. Not because America is weak but because Americans have lost their way and become complacent. We now depend on government to solve all of our problems economically and now we are considering to allow the government to take over our health care needs. Throughout history governments whether they are Socialist, Communist, Fascist, or Capitalist have been the very worst at running any economy or health care system. You simply cannot have a free society with our Constitution and allow the government to dictate how everything in that society operates.

People are starting to understand that America's days as a free society may be numbered and they are starting to make their voices heard. The only question is are the politicians listening or do they believe they are the only ones in charge. The last time I looked the American Constitution and the Declaration of Independence made it quite clear that the American people were in charge and Congress and the President only worked for and represent the American people. It is also clear that all powers not clearly and expressly given to the Federal Government by the States and American People remain in the hands of the States and American People. This President and Congress have somehow forgotten or just don't believe this is part of our Constitution. Maybe they just believe they are above the Constitution and Americans only have rights that Congress shall deem to be appropriate.

I hope I am wrong but if this government continues to print money, spend money they don't have and allow the environmentalist to stop us from returning to a nation that can rely more on our own natural resources and less on foreign resources, then this nation is surely doomed and China knows it. Continuing on the path that Washington is heading down will result in 2010 being the year America fell from a world leader to a third world country. If this happens there will be worldwide chaos and in the end another great war to see who will be the next great power.

Depression Consumer Confidence America Destruction

by Ron Spangler

With consumer confidence at a record low, it is no wonder depression in America has reached an all time high. The average American cannot believe anything coming out of Washington D. C. or the National Media.

Buyer's remorse is steadily growing across America as we watch the total destruction of the American way of life. President Obama is determined to rebuild America according to his own personal way of thinking. The way he has chosen to rebuild the country is not absolutely clear, all though most believe it will be very close to a Socialist state. I believe it will be more like Venezuela.

I have often referred to President Obama as the greatest con artist of the 20th century. He will probably retain this title through the 21st century, along with the honor of being the President that destroyed America.

The con artist or confidence artist has gone by many names throughout history. Flim Flam man, hustler, shyster, grifter and sham artist are only a few of the more common names of people that work off of the naivety, honesty, trust, and sometimes greed or dishonesty of the victims they encounter along their paths.

A huge misconception about the perfect con is that the con man is in it only for the money. After a few cons the money doesn't mean as much as the power and confidence he gains from pulling off the perfect con. There are many forms of con artist and con games going on around the world. The biggest con of all is in American politics.

Americans for the most part believe "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" means limited government intrusion into are personal lives. It means individual Americans have the right to decide how they will live their lives, where they will live, and the path they will take in the pursuit of their particular idea of happiness. It means Americans will tell the government how they should act, not the government dictating to Americans how we should live. The perfect con we are witnessing today is being performed by a President and his shadow government. While he is publicly professing the same beliefs that most Americans have, his shadow government is busy creating crisis after crisis that will allow the President to take actions that no President in the past could have ever gotten away with.

To perfect his con there must first be some truth in some of what the con artist has said. During President Obama's campaign he told America he would "transform America." Like everything else in his public and political career he never went into details how he would transform the country and the definition of change was purposely left to interpretation. By doing this he has been able to stave off critics by his supporters pointing out the President is only doing what he said he would do and what the majority of voters expected him to do.

However, while a large majority of his supporters are still in a state of denial some are beginning to doubt President Obama's true intentions. His ardent supporters have forgotten all of the people that have been thrown under the bus throughout the life of this President. They cannot believe President Obama would betray or use them for his own political use or expediency.

One of the tricks used by a successful con artist is never allow anything to be traced back to your door. President Obama has perfected this principle throughout his days in the Illinois and U S Senate. While he has cosponsored some legislation there are no laws that have been passed that can be solely attributed to him. Since he has been President he has written nothing but instead he has allowed Congress to write the bills he wants passed. In this way Congress will rightfully be blamed if it is a failure and he can take credit if it works. The Healthcare Reform Bill is a perfect example. Will the Democrats in Congress, including Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, be some of the victims to fall under the Obama bus of doom?

Why would a man work so hard to destroy his own country? In the mind of Obama he is the modern day Abraham Lincoln. It is not completely his fault that he believes this. Throughout his life he has been led to believe he has all the answers for all of the ills that have fallen not only on America but also the world. While in his heart he knows this is not true, he has learned by using Chicago style tactics and manipulating people with charm and a smile he can move forward to gain more and more power. As the crime rate, suicide rate and overall depression continues to rise in America I must give President Obama credit. Like the Teflon Don, the blame for the so called crisis in America has not reached Obama. He and his supporters are still being successful at deflecting all of our problems onto the Bush Administration.

How will it end? Will President Obama and his shadow forces be successful? Only time and the resolve of the American people will tell. Right now it doesn't look promising for America. If it was a sports game I would have to say advantage Obama. By successfully splitting the younger generation away from the older generation he has gained success in generating more powerful advocates. The younger generation is just starting out and they are buying into the promises of a bright and successful future for themselves. The younger generation have been led to believe, when times are hard they cannot worrying about the older generation, after all they had their chance now it is time for the younger generation to take over. This idea did not begin with President Obama but his advocates and supporters are secretly promoting it.

If you look around at all of the townhall meetings that are currently going on you will find far more voters from the older generation than the younger generation. Divide and conquer is nothing new. It has been a tactic used for centuries in all types of situations from military, to politics, to everyday relationships. The perfect con also uses this tactic to achieve the goal of the con being performed. If people begin to realize a con is going on then you must divide the people and create a diversion from the con. In this case it is a new crisis every month. As people start to examine the Healtcare Bill, the Justice Department is now creating a crisis at the CIA.

I once felt like I was just a spectator watching as America was being destroyed from within. Now as I watch I have a small glimmer of hope that the young and old will come together and recognize that his is still the greatest country and form of government in the world, and together we can stop the greatest con from destroying our country.

Swine Flu Kills 592 Americans

by Ron Spangler

As of today, 592 Americans have died from Swine Flu and the flu season has not started yet. Flu vaccinations are still being studied and the answer coming from this administration is wash your hands and stay home if you become ill, makes sense to me.

This type of flu is deadly and the administration and the media doesn't seem all that interested. Evidently 592 Americans really aren't important enough to interrupt the Health Care (Socializing) Debate.

The news coming out is, sorry there probably won't be enough vaccination to stop a higher than normal death rate during the upcoming flu season. Now I could understand if this Swine flu, forgive me I forgot the government wants us to call it H1N1 so we don't offend the Mexican pig farmers, had just hit the U S in the last month but it has been here for months. It was first detected in Mexico 4 months ago. I don't know how most people feel but 592 American deaths in 3 months seems a little high and should be a little bit more important than trying to totally rebuild the health care system in America.

When will this administration and the media become concerned, when the death toll reaches 1000, 1500, or maybe 3000 to the Swine flu and another 3000 to the normal flu strain.

I for one just don't get it! Border Patrol agents are being killed by Mexicans and escaping back into Mexico, Americans are dying from Swine flu, oil prices are increasing, the jobless rate is steadily climbing, businesses are failing, banks are still failing, and Obama and the Democrats are more worried about taking over the health care industry (like they did General Motors) than protecting Americans or saving the dollar from a total collapse.

Maybe things still are not bad enough for the great Obama and his Democrat Posse to ride in and save the poor misinformed and illiterate American people. Maybe Obama style Socialism is really the answer.

Understand Border Patrol Job

By Ron Spangler

To really understand the true mission of the United States Border Patrol, everyone should read the article from Lt. Jim Glennon and watch the following video.

Lt. Jim Glennon, the third generation in a family of law enforcement officers, has been with the Lombard, Ill., Police Department since 1980. His article is an eye opener for any American that thinks the Border Patrol agent is there to simply antagonize citizens at check points.

America's Most Dangerous People

by Ron Spangler

An American hero was laid to rest today but most Americans watching American television went on with their lives unaware of the ultimate sacrifice of another brave American along our southern border.

The family of Border Patrol Agent Robert Rosas held a private ceremony for the father, husband, and son after his execution style murder by illegals crossing the San Diego California border.

Agent Rosas was murdered Thurs. July 24, 2009. The media coverage has been limited at best. Except for a very short statement on the Welcome Obama website, the President has said nothing publicly about the murder or if he is even concerned.

Director Janet Napolitano has followed the President's lead and also issued a short statement on the Homeland Security website.

It is self evident that the murder of Agent Rosas is not a high priority of the America media, the President, or Homeland Security Director Napolitano. As an American, I can only express to the family of Agent Rosas my deepest sympathy and embarrassment for the callous way this President, Director and media personnel have handled the execution of an American Agent by foreign citizens on our own soil.

This should be treated the same as a terrorist crossing our border, killing our agents that have sworn to protect those borders and escaping back to Mexico. Unfortunately it seems that this President, Director and the media think the Border Patrol agents lives are not significant enough to garner national attention.

Maybe they believe this is just a local or regional crime that doesn't warrant national attention, unlike the great Cambridge crime that ended with the Great Summit and weeks of mindless media coverage.

What minuscule amount of national coverage that has been given to the death of Agent Rosas has been embarrassing at best. The only decent amount of time was given on the Foxnews channel with Hemmer and Kelly. Unfortunately Megan Kelly undermined the story by laughing and joking about the booking photo of one of the suspects holding a Border Patrol pistol.

What kind of a message does this send to the drug cartels, terrorist and criminals that are illegally crossing our borders in the dead of night?

Are we as Americans sleeping securely in are beds really safe if we allow the people that risk their lives to be executed without a national outcry?

The media has done a very good job of downplaying the murder of Agent Rosas the same as they have downplayed the lousy and shameful job of the Department of Justice to extradite the murderer of Border Patrol Agent Aguilar. He was murdered January 19, 2008 by Jesus Navarro Montes who sits in a Mexican jail and was indicted by a Federal Grand Jury for 2nd degree murder back in May 2009.

This is not the first time Montes has been held in a Mexican jail after witnesses said he intentionally ran down Agent Aguilar. Montes was captured, held then released by Mexican police back in 2008 shortly after the death of the agent. Montes was almost captured by Border Patrol Agents in February 2009 while leading illegals across the border. He was able to escape back into Mexico but was apprehended by Mexican police along the border. Since that time he has been sitting in the Mexican jail while our Federal Attorney's twiddle their thumbs.

So who are America's Most Dangerous People?

President Barrack Obama

Homeland Security Director Janet Napolitano

Justice Department Director and the Federal Prosecutors Handling These Cases

and

The American Media That Believes The Great Beerfest Summit Is More Important Than The Lives Of Our Border Patrol Agents.

Another Border Patrol Agent Murdered

by Ron Spangler

In less than 2 yrs another BP agent has been killed by Mexican illegals. What will the US government and President Obama do, NOTHING.

Agent Robert Rosas a 3 yr BP agent was shot to death while tracking illegals that had crossed the border Thursday night.

According to a Associated Press article " The Los Angeles Times reported that police in Tecate, Mexico, said Friday they had arrested an injured man walking near the crime scene with a Border Patrol-issued weapon shortly after the shooting. The man, Ernesto Parra Valenzuela, 36, was taken to a hospital, according to a news release."

The news release did not say what type of injury Valenzuela sustained but there have been reports that the killing of Agent Rosas looked more like an execution than a gunfight.

The President has said nothing about the killing, he is to busy worried about how the Cambridge police investigates reports of burglaries in process.

Just like the killing of Senior Patrol Agent Luis Aguilar on January 19, 2008, I believe nothing will be done about the death of Agent Rosas.

The murderer of Agent Aguilar has been in the custody of Mexican police not once but twice and never turned over to US officials.

How many more must die in the line of duty before Americans start to care about the people that are trying to protect us and enforce our laws?

Its time Americans call Congress and the President, tell them to stop with the Health Care B.S. and raise hell with Mexico. If they will not release these murderers of American citizens we can always come and get them ourselves.

Sorry to be so long but enough is enough.

My deepest sympathy and regrets go out to Agent Rosas' family.

Chicago Politics In White House

By Ron Spangler

President Obama's meeting with the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) director is nothing more than Chicago style politics running wild in the White House. It has been and always will be a normal political tactic to extort or pressure anyone that disagrees with a Illinois public official or Chicago public official if that person or agency gets in the politician's way.

In the recent past no President has called the Director of CBO into the White House, basically calling on the carpet, simply because the President did not like or was upset with a report coming from the CBO.

We will never know what was said in this meeting or how much pressure the CBO director will undergo to change the damning numbers that have been released concerning the House bill for Health Care Reform.

What we must watch for is a sudden change in the numbers benefiting the House Bill. With pressure from a Democrat run House, Senate and White House I would expect there will be another look at the numbers by the CBO and another report will be submitted that "clarifies and better reflects a more accurate picture of the actual numbers for the House Bill."

Of course this will be nothing more than double talk to hide the fact that the Director does not want to loose his job. How could this happen you ask? Simple "the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate jointly appoint the CBO Director, after considering recommendations from the two budget committees. The term of office is four years, with no limit on the number of terms a Director may serve. Either House of Congress, however, may remove the Director by resolution."


The pressure on the Director is self evident by the statement in his blog,

"I presented CBO’s assessment of the challenges of reducing federal health outlays and improving the long-term budget outlook while simultaneously expanding health insurance coverage–just as we had explained these challenges in a letter to Senator Conrad and Senator Gregg last month. I also described CBO’s view of the effects of the health legislation we have seen so far, as I did last Thursday in a hearing at the Senate Budget Committee and a mark-up at the House Ways and Means Committee. In addition, I discussed various policy options that could produce budgetary savings in the long run, drawing on CBO’s Budget Options for Health Care released in December, our letter to Senators Conrad and Gregg last month, and my comments last Thursday. Other participants in the meeting expressed their own views on these various topics."

Question, What were the views of other participants?

So much for the promised Obama transparency. Associated Press :

"And just over two months before the 2008 election, Obama promised before an audience in Chester, Va., to hash out a health care overhaul in public."

"We'll have the negotiations televised on C-SPAN, so that people can see who is making arguments on behalf of their constituents, and who are making arguments on behalf of the drug companies or the insurance companies,"

As reported by FoxNews



With President Obama's secret government (32 Czars) in mind, one has to wonder how far will this President go to turn this country into his own idea of a Socialist America and when will Americans say Enough?
