PRESIDENT OBAMA IS RIGHT ON ISRAEL

Don't shout all at once.  Name ONE THING Israel exports to the United States.  The U.S. has propped up Israel for decades with billions of dollars as well as weapons and even nuclear arms.  However, Israel PM Netanyahu supposedly is ticked off because President Obama won't commit to sending in U.S. troops to help Israel if they decide to go to war with Iran.  If Israel wants to go to war with Iran with zero proof Iran has a nuclear bomb then I say let them, but not one ounce of American blood should be spilled in a fight we didn't start and have no business getting involved in what could turn into another Iraq, Vietnam or Korea with thousands of young Americans killed.

"FOX AND FRIENDS" END UP WITH EGG ON THEIR FACES

"FOX and FRIENDS" were left with egg on their faces Saturday morning when they sounded off on how President Obama had made a mess of Libya and Egypt situation. Then they brought on Romney senior foreign policy advisor and when TUCKER CARLSON asked him what he would advise ROMNEY to do, the ROMNEY senior foreign policy advisor stuttered and stammered and finally said it was too early to determine what should be done about Libya and Egypt and discussions with both governments should take place before taking any action. Needless to say the ROMNEY senior foreign policy advisor was ushered off the set as fast as possible because his advice is exactly what PRESIDENT OBAMA is doing.    LOL

ROMNEY AND RYAN IGNORANT ON FOREIGN POLICY IN LIGHT OF MIDDLE EAST VIOLENCE ERUPTION

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, the GOP candidates for President and Vice President, have zero experience in the field of foreign relations, but that doesn't stop them from speaking out against the way President Obama and his administration are handling the massive display of anti-American hate in the Middle East. 

Asked by reporters what they would do differently under similar circumstances,  both Romney and Ryan acted like a pair of deers caught in the headlights. 

In short, Romney and Ryan don't have a foreign policy plan because neither of them have any foreign policy experience. 

Romney and Ryan have been joined in their criticism of the Obama administration by a gaggle of right wing "chicken hawks" and a mock news organization, Fox News, where you could count on one hand with three fingers left over anyone who ever served in the United States military or have any foreign policy experience. 

Paul Ryan addressed the Middle East crisis at a Conservative gathering on Friday.  Here is a report on what Ryan had to say:   http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/249565-ryan-middle-east-unrest-shows-need-for-new-us-leadership

FOX NEWS STAYS "LIVE" ALL NIGHT IN HOPES ALL OUT WAR BREAKS OUT IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

FOX NEWS is staying "live" all night in hopes all hell breaks loose in Libya, Egypt, Iran, Yemen, Jordan and other Middle East countries on Friday.  There is nothing more that FOX News would like to see than an all out war in the Middle East on Obama's "watch." FOX NEWS has dragged into their studios every right wing "chicken hawk" they can find in an effort to bolster their assertion that OBAMA should be send thousands of U.S. troops into the region.  What FOX NEWS will never say is the U.S. doesn't have hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops to engage in more wars without re-instating a military draft with no exceptions which would mean the children and grandchildren of Republicans would be drafted and sent to all these Middle East countries as "cannon fodder."  

ROMNEY TAKES JOB AS MORMON MISSIONARY TO AVOID VIETNAM WAR DRAFT: NEGLECTS TO MENTION AFGHANISTAN WAR AT REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

Mitt Romney, Republican candidate for POTUS, has found himself in deep doo-doo when he criticized President Obama over the manner in which he handled the murder of J. Christopher Stevens, U.S. Ambassador to Libya, and three other staff members. 

Romney found fault with a news release from a staff member at the U.S. embassy in Egypt that suggested a video that a Conservative pastor from a little known 50 person church in Florida had released over You Tube and caused some of the Muslim population in Egypt to rise up in protest and storm the embassy in Cairo, Egypt. 

Romney, who has zero experience in the foreign policy field except for his role as a Mormon Missionary which found him in Paris, France for two years so he could avoid the Vietnam War draft also failed to mention the Afghanistan war when he accepted the nomination for President at the Republican Convention. 

Romney thought the press release by the embassy staff member in Cairo, Egypt was "apologizing" to the people of Egypt was inappropriate, but Romney didn't realize the attack on the U.S. embassy in Libya didn't happen until six hours later, and the body of Ambassador Stevens wasn't discovered until eleven hours later at a hospital in Libya where he had been taken by Libyans friendly to the United States. 

President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton both spoke of the deaths of the U.S. embassy employees, but neither of them mentioned the confused and inaccurate comments made by Mitt Romney.  

Even though Romney was caught lying about the attack he came back the next day and doubled-down  on his initial remarks and went even further attacking President Obama for not offering more protection for embassy staff, and even suggesting military action on Libya should be taken. 

Romney, who pulled out all the stops to avoid the military draft during the Vietnam War, is surrouded by neocons from the Bush/Cheney administration who are always looking to go to war with Iran, Syria, North Korea or any other country they contend is a threat to the security of the United States.

The upshot is if Mitt Romney is elected President he will not be able to carryout all his military intervention into all the countries he assumes are a threat to the United States without re-instating the military draft because our present military force is stretched to the breaking point after the Iraq war and conducting the Afghanistan war which is now in its 11th year. 

Mitt Romney is a "war hawk" who is surrounded by "chicken hawks" who never served a day of their lives in the military, but are looking for any excuse to go to war with any country that doesn't live up to their twisted thinking.   

 

NEWS ALERT: MARINES AMBUSHED IN LIBYA. TWO MORE U.S. EMBASSIES UNDER ATTACK

U.S. Ambassador to Libya "KILLED" in mob ATTACK on BENGHAZI compound

FOX NEWS BLAMES OBAMA ADMINISTRATION FOR KILLING OF U.S. AMBASSADOR TO LIBYA AND THREE OTHERS

FOX NEWS has seized on the death of US Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens to attack the OBAMA administration for responding too slowly (it was 2 SECONDS) and claiming OBAMA sounded apologetic about the attack.  MITT ROMNEY, naturally, followed FOX NEWS lead and said the same thing without knowing any of the details of the attack that killed Ambassador Stevens and three other staff members from the U.S. embassy in Libya. 

OMG: ROMNEY CALLS FOR ALL TROOPS OUT OF AFGHANISTAN BY 2014 AND FOX NEWS FREAKS OUT

Fox News is tearing their hair out because GOP Presidential candidate MITT ROMNEY has endorsed the same plan President OBAMA has annnounced about withdrawing all combat troops from Afganistan by 2014. 

FOX NEWS has been blasting OBAMA day after day for announcing the troop withdrawl and now ROMNEY is endorsing the same plan.

WAR WEARY AMERICANS LOSE INTEREST IN AFGHANISTAN WAR

The Afghanistan War has been placed on the back burner if not taken off the stove completely by most Americans.

I've watched the "hits" to my anti-war blog skid from 3,000 a day to under 200 "hits" a day as Americans show they are no longer interested in the war even though we still have 100,000 troops in Afghanistan.

Interest in the Afghanistan is so bad that MITT ROMNEY and his VP partner PAUL RYAN never even mentioned the war in their speeches to the Republican Convention.

Read the USA Today report on how interest in the Afghanistan war has sunk to a new low here:  http://www.usatoday.com/news/military/story/2012-09-08/afghanistan-soldiers-war-deaths/57698900/1#

Marines with 3rd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion struck a key insurgent trafficking hub on the Pakistan-Helmand province border March 14-17. The attack was a part of Operation Rawhide II, an effort to stop the flow of narcotics, weapons, and fighters into, out of, and around southern Afghanistan. The insurgency in Afghanistan traditionally reloads and goes on the offensive in the spring and summer seasons. As Sergeant Jeremy Ross reports, Marines in the far south of Helmand province went out to stop this year's spring offensive before it can begin.

AFGHANISTAN WAR NOT FORGOTTEN

Thanks Mr. President and Mr. Vice President for remembering our troops still deployed to Afghanistan.  A far cry from Romney and Ryan who never mentioned the Afghanistan war at all.
